I got such an aneurysm from reading the next reply (see link) I decided I had to let you all read this brainrot:

Also yes, .world is so low hanging fruit. But this one is slightly different.

    “Explicit support of political violence”

    Unlike capitalism which is very peaceful.

    “When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call it murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in a position where they inevitably meet an early and unnatural death, a death by violence as much as by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessities of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live, and forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until death ensues, which is the inevitable consequence—knowing that these thousands must perish, yet permitting these conditions to remain—it is murder just as surely as the deed of an individual; disguised, malicious murder, against which none can defend, which does not seem what it is because no one sees the murderer, and the death of the victim seems natural, since the offense is more one of omission than of commission.”

      These lib “definitions” make a lot more sense when you add “against me” where applicable. So it would be “Explicit support of political violence against me.” otherwise they don’t care who the system is violent against.

      Or as Mark Twain put it:

      There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
