the excuse

Extreme Racism is a chronic mental problem, not a mental health crisis.
- yes, but it's a systemic problem at its root

Luigi Mangione is a troubled youth that made an awkward gesture towards a CEO, a warning is good enough, case dismissed.

Is it racist to censor out the word Israeli? Fucking bizarre
- I'm still unclear what an Isli tourist is.
  
  Das ist verboten.
- From what I understand it's some kind of self-censorship people are engaging in on major social media platforms in an attempt to stop posts with potentially ""problematic"" words being demoted. It leads to this sort of stupid arbitary brushing out of words.
  I blame both the platforms for having shitty algorithms designed to whitewash everything, and users who are absolutely obsessed with engagement and likes on their posts so they censor the shit out of so many words. If you have to censor words like "die", "kill", "fuck" "nazi" etc. then there's a big problem.
  Fuck big tech, fuck advertisers, and fuck influencers.
  
  It's pretty florking stupid and makes me want to unalive myself.
  
  I'm sure you're right. I was thinking "not allowed" but yeah those fucked algorithms are behind everything now. Agree, fuck those three groups.
  
  My solution is to block every individual who ever posts a meme censoring words. I know they didn't create it, I don't care, willingly censoring benign words (and sharing this behavior like it's acceptable) is my line in the sand for dumb Internet bullshit and I will die on that hill. We must not reshape our language for this nonsense.
  Downside is I'll be having a quieter Lemmy experience soon, lol
- Israeli isn't a race last time I checked
  
  There were no human races last time I checked. It's strange that English is still saying people are a certain race.
  
  What the fuck does it matter? The last I checked, taking a flippant joke as serious and literal is pointless and just makes you look bad.
- It's to try to stop brigading on other social media. There's credible evidence that points to bot farms searching for anti-Israeli/Zionist posts and targeting them.
  
  Hmm alright, that would make sense too
- Mods can we clean up this guys language? /s

Family guy hit a slam dunk with that bit

"Officer if I had known they were not Palestinian of course I would have never shot them."
- “My mental health only deteriorates near Muslims!”
  
  "And that is why Muslims are dangerous!"

Fixed that for ya bub

Mr. Tischler said that his client had “no prior history of violent or hateful behavior” and that he was cooperating with law enforcement. His client acknowledged the seriousness of the charges, he said, but had not been able to control his actions.
“At the time of the incident, Mr. Brafman was experiencing a severe mental health crisis which caused him to be in fear for his life,” the lawyer said in a text message to The New York Times. “It is believed that his ability to make sound judgments was significantly compromised.”
- Like like they're maybe trying to avoid the hate crime charge via an insanity plea...?
  
  Yeah. What else is he supposed to say? The guy basically told the cops "Here's exactly what I did. Also, I meant to kill them, because of their race." Basically, all he can do is threaten to make them waste resources by dragging out the case as much as he can, to increase leverage to get as merciful a plea deal as possible.

Blocked for the censored word, we must not tolerate this horseshit.
- Ya I down vote every censored post.

And people say there is no poetic justice in the world.
These people deserve each other ❤️
