Mods just deleted another of my comments for saying
"For America to get better, we need to be okay with bad things happening to bad people"
I am not entirely sure how this statement is calling for violence. Or Glorifying it. Or is even controversial.
The Mods here suck.
I don't claim to know where the line is, and the following may not be enough of a difference.
But your words in the mod log are different. The "okay with" in your comment above wasn't in the removed comment.
"Being okay with bad thing" is at least a little more nuanced than "Bad thing must happen"
Actually, that is a fair point. I didn't intend to misrepresent my statement. I mean, I still feel like the statement is valid and isn't the same thing as calling for violence. However, you are right.
Should I be able to shoot and kill you for jaywalking?
Do you think jaywalking is as bad as being the CEO of a corporation that is responsible for the deaths of many many people?
Also, you can be ticketed for jaywalking. Which is a bad thing happening. Which is the point. A bad thing happening to bad people is a philosophy our justice system is built on. We can certainly have a conversation about whether that is correct, but it definitely is the basic philosophy as it sits now.
Frankly, I think the fact that CEOs that are responsible for so much death aren't being prosecuted is a bad thing. Feel free and disagree.
But more to the point, I think that discussion shouldn't be shut down by the mods.
Okay so jaywalking doesn't warrant death. Where do you draw the line?
