Splattering lives is okay,but shattering such windows is the promotion of violence? Honestly? 🔨
In capitalist US, property is more valuable than human life.
Remember: You can take lives to protect property, you cannot damage property to protect lives.
Another reason to stay out of the usa. Not just anecdotal, we're talking about a country where walking on a public street can be illegal, and people who do are sometimes called a slur.
Because cities aren't for people to live in, they're for cars to drive trough
In general, the US seems to be weirdly pro-violence.
Being beaten up is portrayed as perfectly normal in media and advocating for violence (like here) seems to be totally okay for many.
That's fucked up.
My favorite retort to those advocating for running over protesters:
If it's OK for you to run over protesters blocking your path on the highway, it's also OK for me to set fire to your car if you park it in the bike lane.
Double standards
Edit: my mistake, it's not visible on the screenshot, but the "i hope you get shot" didn't get removed for promoting violence, there is no mod reply to it.
How can anyone be so lacking in self awareness?
It gets easier to understand once you accept that some people just operate on bad faith.
This is reddit mods in a nutshell
Similar story to how I ended up IP banned.
Story about a politician advocating for killings and kangaroo court imprisonments> i make a comment saying "yeah this guy is gonna end up dead if he tries this" > banned for threats of violence. .. appeal, arguing that it wasn't a threat. Just an acknowledgment of political volatility.. suggested mods were politically biased for seeing it that way. > appeal rejected and permabanned
edit - I understand reddit mods dont issue IP bans, but I was hit for ban evasion after abandoning a cooked account that they refused to let me appeal. the ban evasion rule is a "gotcha" to make people , any and all . to go away. I only say that this time it was an IP ban because I had been perma'd before, only to immediately move to a new account I already had made (and on the same device no less).
my guess was algorithms improved /s
Can any lawyers answer this:
If the person driving that vehicle did end up running someone over, and had that sign in the window, would they get an elevated charge?
To me, that sort of thing is like premeditation, and it would be extremely hard for me to believe that an “accident” led to them killing someone with their vehicle.
