Slightly off topic, but yesterday at the top of my Lemmy feed there was a screenshot of a slack channel where (supposedly nyt journalists) were discussing either posting his writings or images of his face.

I went back to look for it and can’t find it. Anybody know where I can find it?

“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

That’s it? That’s the whole thing? This is what all the censorship buzz is all about? This reads like an unremarkable angsty Reddit comment. Every single social platform is filled with countless of these.

I guess this is qualitatively different because this is him describing something he actually did after the fact rather than the meaningless posturing most other people do. At that point though, is it still even “inciting violence”? The violence was already incited. I don’t see him explicitly threatening more or rallying others to do more. “Here’s why I did the thing” is not the same thing as “I’m going to do the thing” or “you should do the thing, too”.

The censorship of this is stupid. I hope this gets Streisand’d to the heavens.

really? it looks remarkably un-angsty to me! i’d expect someone who shoots a dude to write something way more angry, but this is just matter-of-fact “shit sucks here’s why”

Spez is scared. He has pissed off a bunch of people but he hasn’t denied healthcare too them so he is just a reactionary coward.

The guy that thinks he would definitely be a leader if society were to collapse is actually a giant piss-baby? Who would’ve thunk it…

Oh I’m sure he has fired someone for that type of reason but it you dig too far down into any chain of events you can find someone who more at fault for something. The healthcare dick though. He took a direct active roll in killing people through neglect whereas spez is just a drive by menace.

Yepp, they go hard even in smaller communities. Seems to be some automated system handing out warnings and bans left and right.

Reddit also has policies against posting violence, but apparently it doesn’t count if you post Ukrainians or Israelis proudly showing off their slaughter.

Reddit allows violence, so long as it is in line with the status quo.

This is more to the point.

Using those specific examples, you must be naive to not think 100% of people reading this would see you as a moron.

I’m not sure 100% of people would cheer for somebody with a black sun on their uniform, or someone shooting a child.

There used to be subs like watchpeopledie and makemycoffin. I barely use reddit anymore but i wouldnt he suprised if there was still a part that has similar content.

Exactly. They banned those and began enforcing strict bans on violent content. Until the Ukraine war, and they wanted to assist in propaganda, so the popular page started getting flooded with some gruesome shit. Though I don’t really see how that helped drum up any support for the war.
