But Reddit sent a mass message to moderators telling them how they were expected to moderate any content praising the extra judicial murder of brian Thompson or calling for more political violence against the bourgeoisie….. and now reddit is sending people the same automated response about how liking banned content is against their policy and can lead tk further punitive action against ones account. Basically threatening moderators with banning of the communities they moderate if they did not follow their censorship memorandum. Even before this last summer my account was permanently IP banned for a comment on a post about israel/palestine that essentially said international law states an occupied indigenous population has the right to defend itself by any means necessary including violent resistance. And i was definitely not the first to experience such censorship.

I just peruse to see the news but i was ip banned for posting comments critical of israel and supportive of Palestinian resistance about a year ago. Hopefully lemmy gets to s point where reddit becomes irrelevant but it is still in its infancy at the moment.

There is at least one luigi community on lemmy but its pretty small. Reddit deleted at least a dozen luigi Mangione communities that sprung up in the beginning that had hundreds of thousands of members snd now the 2 main groups are free luigi snd justice for luigi mangione there are also a couple anti luigi conservative corporate boot licking communities some think are satirical but are obviously not satire and just massive law enforcement dick sucking boot licking circle jerks one is r/fuckluigimangione its quite ridiculous.

The freeluigi community has done a good job of posting pertinent news and information on the case but it is pretty mild and definitely working hard to neuter any calls for revolution against the wall street billionaire military and prison industry profiteer class to ensure reddit doesn’t shut it down as well or it could be LEO operated to keep an eye out on people who express opinions unfavorable of our billionaire slave masters

And right now we are seeing s large surge of users transitioning away from reddit to lemmy as a result of this censorship

Youre trying to advocate for the disarming of people so clearly you think that regulating guns the same way vehicles are (everyone over the age of 16 can buy them and have them) is not adequate.

And some drugs are regulated but the drugs that are prohibited are not regulated which exacerbates the issues regarding drug use that are politicized and manipulated to maintain prohibition at all costs.

We need to regulate police more than we need to regulate guns. As in we need to switch the standard thst it takes 8+ years of training to practice law but only 6 months of training to enforce it while armed. And those hired to be police are specifically chosen for their lack of intellect and willingness to blindly follow orders. But sure lets disarm the general public and concentrate firepower further into the hands of the class traitor attack dogs for the 1%

Now maybe if our society had not been relentlessly attacked from every angle by a covert fascist plot to kill education standards, turn the media into propaganda dissemination tools that benefit the established power structure and erradicate the progress of civil and labor rights advocacy to move backwards towards enslaved laborers as quickly as possible, maybe we would have a population that wasn't full of morons so afraid of guns that they believe the only option is to take away their neighbors rights to own and carry guns. Maybe if we trained people on weapons safety from a young age maybe if it was necessary to own a gun to eat meat instead of relying on corporate capitalist consumerism to buy packages of dead animal flesh packaged after the mass industrialized slaughtering of livestock maybe then our society wouldn’t have devolved into fascism. But instead your parents and their parents were mostly all morons who didnt figure out the glowing talking box they spent the majority of their leisure time staring at was actually a weaponized propaganda dissemination tool being used to pacify the working class and render them helpless and dependent upon industrialized consumerist infrastructure to the point where so many people stupidly share your attitude that guns should be taken away because people cant be trusted with them. Well to that i say let the police and militaries of the world be the first to disarm themselves.

I mean you’re probably someone who isnt informed or intelligent enough to understand the government is lying about inflation and that all capitalist nations in decline have manipulated economic data to their advantage in an attempt to downplay the true extent of inflation and currency devaluation to prevent a revolution for as long as possible. Im pretty sure if more people knew the truth as i do they would not feel the way you do and instead be more than happy to get the pitchforks and torches(or guns in todays day and age) to demand whats rightfully ours from the billionaires who have looted the working class for 5+decades. Regardless of why it hasnt happened yet (societal manipulation through the normalized consumption of weaponized media dissemination) it will happen someday hopefully sooner than later and when that point comes you better hope the guns haven't been seized from the working class because the lives of your children or your children’s children will get much worse at exponentially increasing speed from here on out. But i guess so long ss youre pacified and comfortable what does it matter 🥴

Did drug prohibition work? No it didn't the black market will always exist and prohibition serves to increase demand and further the disparity between the wealthy and the poor.

rich people will always have guns. But sure take them away from poor people so you can sleep better in your delusional sense of security so when someone gets their hand on a gun youll be defenseless and even if the gun fell out of their hand in a struggle for your life you would still be defenseless because you're clueless and definitely have no idea how guns work.

Its funny people make this out to be a political policy issue that conservatives support when conservatives were the first ones to pass a bill restricting gun ownership. And then the people who want to take away guns consider themselves leftists what a joke, youre not leftists you’re neo liberals who have been deluded into believing the left would ever stand for the disarming of working class people.

Right now they are trying to ban “assault weapons” or anything with a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds in my state and luckily that it is so very unpopular even though my state is a blue no matter who very progressive state. Ever since the united healthcare ceo was shot i think many people with true leftist leaning sentiments see that taking away guns from the laborers is a stupid short sighted thing to do.

Cars kill more people than guns, are you going to support the banning of personal transportation too? Guns will always exist, you cant nerf the fucking world and advocating to do so id so childishly asinine it’s ridiculous beyond compare. I’m sure thst making it so that police and rich corporatists are the only ones with guns will make you feel a whole lot safer if you just stick your head in the sand in regards to extrajudicial murders of civilians by police. Lets just make them even more powerful!!!

I would rather bring back the days of the wild west where everyone had a revolver on their hip than go to a point where only the wealthy the police and other state sponsored actors sre permited to have weapons. “Any attempt to disarm the workers should be frustrated by force if necessary”

Whatever you want to believe meanwhile you all across the pond and down under still bow to monarchs and are taken to a court if you protest during coronation so keep believing that youll be just as free without the means to defend yourselves from tyrants when you’re already living in a full on class dictatorship and lacking any sense of true freedom to begin with.

Extremely strict regulations means the rich can have them freely and poors have to jump through multiple hurdles.

The working class should never be disarmed.

Ive been yelling fuck elon musk at people in tesla vehicles since way before it was cool!!

The 2 biggest demographics of growing gun owners are women of color and trans people.

The idea that we should disarm the working class to further concentrate weapons in the hands of militarized forces who are known for abusing their power with impunity is just moronic.

I think the 50501 movement is more tepid centrist neo liberalism and thats the last thing we need here. We need real leftism. You dint fight the far rught with the right leaning center you fight it with leftism. And karl marx one of the fathers of modern leftist thinking said it best/“ any attempt to disarm the workers should be frustrated by force if necessary” the government acting like a nanny state and prohibiting things deemed dangerous by those at the top is never effective. Drugs and alcohol prohibition onky made things worse except for those profiting from exploiting prohibition

Im copying a response i left to another comment in this thread because it is relevant and people need to wake up and figure out what’s really going on instead of believing our government is still democratic when the writing has been on the wall for decades

We can agree that our entire political system has been corrupted by money? Right?

What makes people naively believe that our electoral processes have not been corrupted in the same exact way? Some delusional belief in American democratic exceptionalism?

In germany their highest court decided that electronic voting is unconstitutional because it is impossible to differentiate between fraudulent results and legitimate ones for laypeople/anyone who isnt a cybersecurity or IT expert.

Both parties are fascist albeit to differing degrees but both parties blatantly exhibit 13 of 14 traits of fascist regimes. The one trait they can claim plausible deniability in regards to is fraudulent elections. But if our corporate owned leaders have allowed our society to disintegrate to fascism 93% of the way then its pretty illogical to believe they would stop short and work diligently to prevent the last 7% from reaching that point.

There is the Princeton study done within the lasy 2 decades that concluded the amount of influence one has on our political system and any legislated policy is directly proportional to the amount of wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically near zero irrelevant amount of influence on any policy regardless of how popular or unpopular it may be. Since lewis f powell’s pro corporate supreme court decisions paved the way for citizens united and the erosion of our constitutional republic and its comprising democratic elements it has now become apparent for anyone paying attention that every aspect of our political system is for sale to the highest bidder and most likely the reality is that our presidential elections are rigged and have been since at least reagan. But even before then there was likely corruption involved since it is pretty much a historical fact that jfk won the presidency in no small part due to a backroom deal his father made with the mafia because of the connections he had made during his time establishing a bootleging empire during prohibition.
