That's it.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I get banned from Reddit for "suggesting violence" by stating Elon Musk's assets should be liquidated, meanwhile:
(sh.itjust.works)
And you're just a cunt, Elon.
Man, what a fucking loser lmfao.
This isn’t /shittyphilosophy or some sort of personal mantra, this is signaling what he thinks of those who do not engage in violence against him. He’s simultaneously calling out everyone for being weak and not challenging him and more importantly to himself implying he is strong because of that lack of resistance.
I am worried that this could be bait. Elon can see that the entire world is turning on him, but if violence escalates then Trump could use it as justification to declare Martial law.
Bring it
It's more why should you respect and be patient with someone who can't do a thing against you if you aren't? Say you met someone on the street and they decided to start insulting you. The natural response is to punch them in the face to ensure they don't insult you further; except if they are stronger or have some other reason for you to respect them and put up with their bullshit (ex. Elders, martial arts sensei, some kind of community leader, etc.).
The response to a peaceful protest is similar. So long as they don't insult one's honor or get in the way they don't get a punch in the face, except if they wield enough political clout. You don't have power to be peaceful unless you can fight back.
George Orwell entered the chat.
I like that this could mean multiple completely different things depending on what part of George Orwells writing it's referring to.
Well they do have a point. Having strength isn't the same thing as using it. Most have the ability to beat another human to a pulp but instead use their words and other forms of conflict resolution. So to extend that logic one isn't peaceful if one doesn't have the power not to be; that is one isn't restraining themselves from being violent and exercising benevolence and patience but rather being forced to be tolerant of others bullshit because they can't do anything about it. It's like is your chastity being tested more in a monestary or a whorehouse?
That's how they get you, with a nugget of truth that in your context is reasonable and in theirs is explicitly unreasonable. The idea that one can't choose peace if they have no choice is an old one and philosophers have been thinking about it for ages. There's nothing wrong with the idea. What's wrong is that in the context of the alt right they imagine themselves as John Rambo and use nonsense like this as wank material when they're advocating for (or doing) violence. It's a story they tell to infantilize and invalidate the left. If we're all babies who couldn't even choose violence if we wanted then they should make decisions for us, right? Including the decision to kill us.
Funny thing is that the left got most of the rights and protections that people of every stripe benefit from through outright violence. Strikes and protests and all that are the compromise, remember.
Fuck reddit.
Im capable of violence and im gonna use it on any fascists face when i see one
Obviously only the elites can dish out violence as it is their right as a sovereign
If Musk was ever left alone without a security entourage and a private army that he pays for with tax payer dollars he’s stolen, he’d quickly learn how violently he’d be put down like a rabid dog.
He’s only tough because he can hide behind an army.
What the hell even is this?
Can we stop talking about Moscow-Musk please? My lemmy feed is even more depressing from normal at the moment.
Oh fucking hell he's a megalomaniac he's awful!!! Horrible man. How the fuck can reddit justify this shit? How has EVERYONE not left?
reality is becoming a meme at this rate
Mostly harmless
Do you have a legit reason to "liquidate" his assets?
