A Boring Dystopia

Here's the problem, at least on Lemmy.

I've had comments deleted in the past for openly supporting Luigi, and that guy in PA who almost shot trump. The reason those comments were listed as "inciting violence". Even though MY comment didn't incite violence. My comment only said that I support their actions. I never suggested anyone ELSE comit violence.

But now you say we need to revolt to push back against trump/russia/fascism/foreign interests.

I'm not even saying I disagree with you. I'm all for whatever revolution we all know is coming. We've known it's coming for years.

I'm not saying we should. I'm saying it's inevitable. But you're saying we should. So this goes back to my main point. How do you talk about it across Lemmy without being accused of inciting violence? Because at it's core, that's what it is. Every revolution is violent. There's no such thing as a peaceful civil war.

So, what road do we need to go down, where discussing the very real future options is more than just "vote and write your congressman"?

At some point this is going to become an active civil war. And I don't think the mods are doing this as a war to supress the revolution. I just don't think they see it as positive.

And by positive, I mean imagine in the 1940s, that guy who tried placing a bomb in hitlers meeting. It failed, but the idea was to kill hitler. I think that was a positive. Now imagine if the internet existed, if mods said "no inciting violence".

The world is a better place without hitler, but now our government is openly seig hailing in public. So I ask to users and mods/admins alike. If now is not the time to discuss revolting, then when?
