I get banned from Reddit for "suggesting violence" by stating Elon Musk's assets should be liquidated, meanwhile:

This is the same kind of thing the 19 year old high school dropout with two kids he doesn’t have custody of posts on Facebook. Like “the devil whispered in my ear you can’t handle the storm and i said i am storm”

What a great fat wet lettuce of a human. He's only capable of paying other people to do his dirty work.

Arguing for the appropriation of billionaires' assets is not violence.

Says the pussy who backed down from Zuckerberg cuz his mom told him to

They've also been banning accounts for liking comments about Green Mario doing nothing wrong. It's about the closest thing to thought crime I've ever seen. (PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)

People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

when did Lemmy become the "I got banned from reddit" frontpage?

ffs people, STOP GOING THERE. Stop thinking about it. It's a shithole url. Get over it.

Ironically, what Musk posted is perfectly acceptable ( in and of itself, ignoring the context of the person who is saying it ) since violence or the threat of violence is sometimes necessary to prevent things getting worse. For example, "Ukraine should be helped to defend itself" is a call for violence.

Which is why it's such a bullshit excuse to ban speech for that reason alone. I got banned for suggesting France might help out the USA by shipping over any surplus guillotines. I'm sure they would have no issue at all if I were enthusiastically advocating genocide. Never mind, I needed a push to make the move to Lemmy ; )

#stonerthoughts

This should show Americans how billionaires perceive "peaceful protests".

He is such a teenager. It's embarrassing.

That Mangione fellow, what a peaceful guy.

That’s gotta be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

Elon Musk 's assets should be liquidated

Fixed that for you

God, what an insufferable Nazi cunt.

Fucker obviously doesn't have cats.

It's almost like the person who wrote that text in the photo didn't actually understand what any of the words they were saying meant. Like actually. lol

Elon isn't capable of anything resembling violence. He's a skinny fat pussy.

Fuck reddit.

Getting banned from reddit is doing yourself a favor. Leave that site and avoid looking back when possible. Trash site.

The faster everyone deletes their Reddit, the better we will be. Fuck Reddit.

The oligarchy owns 90% of social media so it's no surprise

Violence is a double edged sword. It can easily swing the other way. Elon might be misjudging how that sword is balanced.

“I’m peaceful because I am capable of kicking your ass” has true mall ninja energy.

“you studied humanity [and made friends] while I studied the blade”

So why isn't Elon Musk banned then?

Got my ban yesterday for expressing my displeasure with Danielle Smith. Reddit has sold out

We have to stop being surprised at this behavior and start expecting it and rejecting it, on sight.

Because it's seen as violence to do anything that negatively impacts the wealthy despite their daily economic violence against everyone else in society. This is why they call the Tesla boycott "illegal".

Someone should post that text to reddit, see what happens.

Also, if you didn't already think there was going to be violence, now you should.

Lol a friend of mine got banned for posting a picture of a guillotine and referencing billionaires. The broligarchy has gone full gloves off wrt threats to their hegemony

The quote is not wrong, however, Elon is neither harmless nor peaceful. He's dangerous and a violent fascist

This feeds into the right-wing fantasy that they're super tough warriors. You see a lot of literature and fictional TV aimed in this direction.

It's kind of like the white savior complex but instead of saving some victimized minority, they're saving weaker and more helpless individuals in their own society. But all the military hero returns home and confronts nasty biker gang or evil drug dealers and kicks their ass without when trying. It all reinforced their world view.

I was banned for harassment. I followed 6 accounts that posted tons of misinformation about elons nazi salute.

They’d defend him at all cost, call everyone else sheep, “Roman salute”, he’s autistic, you’re such a n idiot for hating on him. Posted still frame images of anyone with raised hands and claimed them to be identical to nazi boy Elon.

I got a notification every time they posted something to a sub I frequented. I would comment their recent post history and how their most extreme lies in defense of Elon.

Reddit said that was considered harassment. Not what those accounts did, but my action to their posts and comments. Spez is such a fucking spineless cunt.

What do you mean by Elon Musk’s assets should be liquidated?

Also, Reddit and X have very different moderating policies.

Apart from all the other bullshit rightfully called out below, this makes an illogical implication. Being the smart autistic superbrain Melon claims to be, it's surprising he doesn't see that. Or maybe not, because in reality he's just a sad ass who is too scared of just going to therapy.

If: Not being capable of violence => Not being able to call yourself peaceful

Then: Being able to call yourself peaceful => Being capable of violence

But not: Being capable of violence => Being able to call yourself peaceful

So Luigi is peaceful then right, so why did the police go after him?

Yeah i don't post anymore since reddit turned into 1984

Receiving a permanent ban from Reddit was worth it.

Also Elon, " Mom, Mark is being mean to me again." It's ok lil Elon, she says. You are funnier and more handsome.

elon musk got a subreddit banned, because of "percieved threats"

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.

And you're just a cunt, Elon.

got in trouble for 'liquidated'. Secret word list code for violence. Filters used to be useful and just replace the offending text.

I was permabanned for "Making threats of violence" when I suggested a hypothetical scenario when people were talking about US/Russia/Ukraine affairs, that if a US President suddenly not only betrayed a friendly victim of an invasion and switched to giving direct aid to the aggressor when public opinon of that aggressor is in the toilet, that the US may end up with a dead president. (and this was pre-election)

I dont care that it happened anymore, because judging from the way things have gone, if that didnt get me banned, something else would have.

Reddit is captured, and even if it wasnt, the only thing its good for is the comedy/hobby sections.

everything else is just dumpster fires like the news and politics communities, or the freakshows you see in relationship advice, AmItheAsshole, AmIOverreacting, etc. and all the bad advice that gets given to them as well..

I think we need to show Musk how peaceful we've been and how far from harmless we are. Let's give him a very personal, intimate lesson.

Man, what a fucking loser lmfao.

The peace in peaceful is not of the "peace and war" kind. It's of the "peace and quiet" kind.

Important distinction.

The irony here is that violence is a necessary action when the bourgeoisie (Billionaires) leaves the working class no other option. But what he's saying is that state violence is justified to maintain the status quo.

Its funny because I remember when the republicans and trumpers would all join together and attack any form on censorship and used that as a launching pad for attacking the left. And these attacks built this momentum that eventually resulted in my grandmother talking about how the left is pro censorship and must be stopped. Like how is grandma hearing about this shit. Like there was no room to give an inch.

But I feel like there isn't that same energy on the left. Like instead we all just look at this and go "huh, that's a bummer. They're stupid"

The banhammer is pounded quite randomly over there.

I see this as him saying there's an open invitation for Luigi to meet with him,.if there was a willing participant.

Can we stop talking about Moscow-Musk please? My lemmy feed is even more depressing from normal at the moment.

Fuckers like him give good edgelords like myself a bad rep. That's a good quote, sucks that it came from such a dickhead.

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.

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?

Agreed, unless you're capable of great violence you're weak. When you see a tyrant, a capitalist, or a cop do you sit by or do you fight for peace? Thats why every pacist should be willing to punch Muskrat and any other tyrant right in their fascist face.

I got my second ban from saying "Burning peoples cars who bought them because they wanted to help the environment is not helpful, and Elon already got paid for those anyway. Don't really give a shit if you burn the dealerships but we can do better than this" now I am here, lol

What the hell even is this?

It's only ok when a rich Republican does it, not a Democrat.

You basically posted the same thing on the way in here. Why don't you go back to Reddit? We don't need any more unhinged violent tankies.

Film adaptation from a recent conference, conducted peacefully, amongst Trump's cabinet members. Musk portrayed by Stanley Tucci!

I’ve been really pushing the limit on reddit recently to see if I get banned.

Maybe it’s an llm or something, I have not gotten banned yet for saying stuff like “This is a test. Luigi is a god. Shoot all the billionaires and eat the rich. Throw Molotovs at Tesla shops” And so on.

Nothing yet.

I’m not making a point here, just contributing some data. My account is 4 years old, with about 1k karma.

Im capable of violence and im gonna use it on any fascists face when i see one

Love seeing all the new accounts in here!

Reddit is complicit with the facist takeover of wetsern democracy. I got banned from there for saying "the only good nazi is a dead nazi"

reality is becoming a meme at this rate

Do you have a legit reason to "liquidate" his assets?

How would you rewrite this so that it's less deuchbag and more accurate?

Mostly harmless

The only reason I still have a Reddit account is to leave comments telling people to leave Reddit and join Lemmy. I just find posts on or near the front page that are complaining about Reddit and leave the same comment every time.

Really? Fuck that shit. Good thing I deleted my reddit account. I technically have one that I just use for porn. But I sure as hell am not posting anything with that shit.

It's a true statement.

This guy has so much power over the United States and so many people are okay with it and some even support it.
