No, not really, and I mean that genuinely.
There are too many people on here that say shit like "You should firebomb a Walmart" and mean it with their whole heart. We already had that with the Kimberly-Clarke warehouse and we got diaper shortages. Firebombing a Walmart only hurts the locals in the area who won't get food.
Even with bombing a police station, pray that locals actually care about each other and can respond to emergencies appropriately. I absolutely think police need reform but I'm not gonna sit here and go "I don't need to call the cops if someone breaks into my house"
Firebombing a billionaires house? Absolutely, it hurts no one else but them (pray that no house workers are in there). Fireboming cop cars when they're attacking protesters? Sure.
But people are fucking stupid. Luigi ~~shot~~ did nothing to that CEO and that's great and all, but it didn't change anything. Now we got a chucklefuck who shot a random pharmacist because "Big Pharma Bad."
I just think that too many people on here are encouraging senless violence rather than actual, planned, and carefully considerated operations. And i do not want to see innocents get caught up in brash, half-baked bouts of insanity because a person thought they were "helping."
There are entire communities, districts, and sometimes towns, where police on average poses bigger threat than any criminal ever would. Home invasion scenarios almost never happen, and on a rare occasion they do you can at least fight back. Meanwhile, police routinely enters homes, shoots nondiscriminatory, and if destroy people's lives for nothing, and you can't even do shit about it.
And that's before we talk about when police actually tries to do their job, the fuck they gonna do with your twenty scallywags entering your abode, outline your dead body?
I spend a lot of time on Lemmy and I haven't seen a single person say that.
If I ever firebomb anything it will be a data center.
In Minecraft.
surely in minecraft
Lol you must be fortunate. I've seen bloodthirtsty maniacs foaming at the mouth in a thread about kittens.
Link?
Just give it a few days, it will happen again. And again.
Are you talking about the bloodthirsty maniac in threads about kittens? I spend a lot of time in threads about kittens and I don't believe you.
Without seeing the post they're referencing:
Someone probably said they let their cats outside tbh, and then someone chimed in with how they're "personally Holocausting every small bird and lizard within a 600mi radius and for this crime they should be thrown to a tiger and see how they like it."
Yes I was being a little hyperbolic for comedic effect but it's absolutely a thing in the cat comms around here, not sure I've seen death threats specifically about it but people hate outside cats (more to the point, their owners) on lemmy.
i mean i get it, but if everyone kept their cats inside my bike rides would be so boring. i meet new cats every day. it's one of the better parts.
Americans prioritize the flow of treats over any action that might hurt the oligarchy. Even if a warehouse was burned down by an organized revolutionary militia that was actively trying to bring about change, yβall would complain that you canβt get your 10-ply toilet paper.
Pretty sure they are focused on the cops there
