    This is partially what “eat the rich” rhetoric meant when acted on.

      There is seriously a mental health pandemic going on and it’s scary. Everyone here who has messages or upvotes messages about bringing out the guillotine or killing billionaires really needs to seek help.

      And there is a fucking lot of you here on lemmy.

        Well then, do what you tell people who condemn rapists and pedophiles to do: learn some empathy.

        People who hold different opinions and worldviews than you aren’t fucking mentally ill. You are by insinuating such. You are not the center of the universe and your opinions are not automatically facts just because you hold them.

        Americans actually do still have a constitutional right to advocate overthrowing their government if they want; the whole fucking point of the first and second amendments is to enable the people to do just that.

        I’m tired of people like you and your vile bullshit. Don’t like it, get out of the thread. But don’t come in here with your holier-than-thou act thinking you’re going to bully or guilt trip or emotionally blackmail anybody into sitting down or submitting to your opinion like you’ve been doing to the American people for decades now.

          People who hold different opinions and worldviews than you

          “Threatening to kill people and not wanting people to threaten to kill people are equal worldviews, actually.”

            Strawmanning and attacking #EatTheRich memebros actually is equivalent to enabling actual violence by condemning anyone who opposes nonviolence, actually, and it’s why you all are finally, finally being downvoted and rejected by everyone else. Ackshually

          I’m sorry I don’t condone the killing of people simply because they make more than I do.

          Seriously grow the fuck up.

            I’m sorry I don’t condone the murder and enslavement of millions around the world by a small dominant group of people who have no one’s best interests at heart but their own.

            I’m sorry I don’t condone the perpetuation of a broken system that purposefully subjugates billions of people.

            I’m sorry you’re butthurt I and a bunch of other people on the internet won’t validate your massively unjustified sense of superiority and self-importance.

            You grow the fuck up.

            Grow. Up. And stop protecting and defending evil people. Stop hurting society and stop hurting us.

              Seems to me like you’re far more butthurt judging by this comment thread lol.

              You’ve put a lot of words in my mouth that I’ve never said.

              I almost guarantee you and I have more in common than you may realize unfortunately you’re so blinded by hate you’re unable to think clearly.

              Mark my words we are working towards WW3 and it scares the living hell out of me because people like you are so built up in your echo chambers and you’re frothing at the mouth. There’s no difference between your attitude and those of an average Trump supporter. It’s blind rage. Looking for simple solutions to a complex world.

              I seriously worry for my children. The anger is so unfocused or focused on the wrong area.

              We can change the system but we have to want to. The problem is people increasingly on the left and right just want to burn it down.

              How equivalent is

              “I don’t condone the killing of people simply because they make more than I do.”

              to

              “[condoning] the murder and enslavement of millions around the world by a small dominant group of people who have no one’s best interests at heart but their own.”?

                  What I found out is the outcomes of events like the French Revolution and the rule of the Khmer Rouge i.e. vastly different dependent on the circumstances of the place and time.

                    Well, what the rest of us found out is the outcome of almost every other revolution in modern history including the American Revolution, which kickstarted modern democracy and led to the liberation of 60 other countries from enslavement, colonization and oppression.

                    In other words, you are just biased and here with an agenda just like you shitlords were when you inundated the Danny Masterson thread and the other news threads where you hounded on anybody who dared oppose your vile little sacred cow.

                    Take your political agenda out of our lives and respect our right to make up our own fucking minds. You are hurting us by acting this way: you enable and defend evil, you help the ruling class continue to subjugate the working class, and you do it all because you yourself benefit from the status quo and don’t want to miss out on McDonald’s and 7-11 because of the workers getting riled up.
