    I just banned from /politics for saying “All Billionaires Must Die”. Thought Lemmy was supposed to be transgressive. I thought wrong. Probably get banned from here too, now.

      lemmy.world is relatively more rightwing compared to other instances. Idk if you’d get banned on lemmy.ml or lemmygrad or hexbear. I’m not sure what the beef/drama defederation status of those is tho.

        You can get banned at the drop of a hat on ml and hexbear rofl

        Just make a post that says “Tiananmen Square”. Nothing else, no context. Bet you’ll be banned in a heartbeat.

          Well that’s low effort spam so I wouldn’t be surprised. Like, I wouldn’t be commenting “Blair mountain” under random posts about American politics either

      Oh I’m surprised you got banned. I tried to argue with someone like yourself as I think it’s stupid, and then they pushed some argument about how communism/socialism is the right way forward and I was being downvoted.

      Thought it was just Lemmy subs being extreme left but maybe not all places are extreme.

      That’s not even a false statement.

      All people must die, including billionaires. None of us are immortal, therefore we all must die.

      However, billionaires should be dragged into the street and bludgeoned to death and any one who has a problem with me saying that such that they need to flex their little online fiefdom, they can die next to them.

        That’s so much work and mess, just poison them

        They could even poison themselves or eachother, saving normal people the inconvenience.

          I don’t feel poison would send the correct message nor would it satiate the public’s blood lust.

          Their billions would be inherited and there are thousands of billionaires so it is important that they understand the consequences of playing dragon.

        Imagine being such an edgelord that you need the little rush of wishing death on bad people. Reform society, take their assets, stop them from ever hurting people again, whatever. Actually fix the problem like a rational human, don’t solve it by calling for their deaths you fucking caveman.

          Imagine being so naive that you think the problem can be fixed by asking nicely and playing by rules created by the wealthy.

          We’re close to having trillionaires.
