Real pacifist crowds you got there
Don’t we support the death penalty? Surely Elon wouldn’t just get prison that would suck
I would support violence in the revolution that’s inevitable and necessary for the revolution to succeed (in minecraft). But hell no I do not support literal murder as a part of a justice system, I’d hope most of us aren’t that bloodthirsty and retributive
Lock Elon and every other ghoul up, their torture can be spending the rest of their days seeing the world change
99% of cases I’m against the death penalty. But in the clear cut cases where it’s obvious someone is an irredeemable Nazi, line them up.
Like Anders Breivik. The relatively comfy imprisonment he’s been given is great for most people, but he should have been taken out back, shot, and dropped in a ditch.
I still think the greatest revenge is turning them in to good communists, as that would require utterly destroying the person they were and reforming them as something else.
There’s a fair amount of us that are against punitive/retributive justice as a rule actually. Whenever I post about it I get a fair number of upbears so I assume I’m not alone.
just get prison
Wait till you find out most of us are prison abolitionists as well lol.
I think there’s a significant contradiction between prison abolition and running any sort of state, especially a post-revolutionary one where reaction is inevitable.
To paraphrase , the day after the revolution, are we suddenly going to treat the fascists with kid gloves? Will they be allowed to go back to what they are doing now and we can’t even arrest them?
Restorative justice is cool and good!
As long as we keep people like musk under tight surveillance so they don’t get up to any counter-revolutionary shit they wouldn’t be dangerous after we take their stuff. We might have to spread them out over long distances and confine them to rural areas to make it hard to do conspiracies, but there are ways to keep them in check while allowing them a degree of freedom and dignity (which, let me be clear, they do not deserve. It’s not for them, it’s for us)
I don’t. It doesn’t work and provably makes things worse. There is no justification for killing prisoners or criminals during peacetime. It’s not even a mercy or compassion thing, it provably creates negative outcomes for the community.
Exactly how cool or uncool is the protest? That’s literally all that matters. The cooler the protest the more is permissible.
Same objection as the “authoritarian axis” on political compasses. Are you using your authority to be cool or uncool? Where’s that axis?
Creating a petition only has 87% support what the fuck? People writing their names on a piece of paper?

If I were polled I’d say it’s unacceptable because it’s meaningless bullshit that libs do instead of actual forms of protest.
The ~8% that finds rioting acceptable probably overlaps heavily with the ~4% that finds petitions unacceptable.
Also willingly adding your name to a list of people who oppose their government’s policies that will then be given to said government sounds like a horrible idea.
This shit is how I know the US is already a fascist state
It’s all acceptable as soon as you’re sufficiently mad.
Rioting is fine, if you’re waving a flag and fighting the Deep State.
Blocking traffic is cool if you’re protesting mask mandates.
Defacing property is fine, if its the property of some stupid stoner liberal fifth columnist black lives matter
cucks
potty-trained libs
burning an American flag
It’s my flag I’ll do what I want
