Have seen a few posts popping up recently just straight up calling fo violence barely disguised as memes

Had thought Lemmy had chilled out a bit on that kinda thing for a while but seems to be coming back now

Anyone else noticing the same or just me?

    Its not really just Lemmy tho. Its everywhere.

    People are just mad these days and that event in NYC ignited their anger they always had.

    I think most people are more like saying “LOL” at what happened rather than “Lets kill [insert person name here]”. I mean, nobody really asked for it, nobody gave the pepetrator the “okay” to do it, the person just did it. People aren’t sympathetic because the dead person wasn’t such a nice person.

    Remember how people celebrated Bin Laden’s death, this is like that. Different nationality, same killer mindset that they had in common.

      how people celebrated Bin Laden’s death

      Ouch, some deep introspection is required if you get to a point in life where you, being an insurance CEO and being killed lead to the same kind of mob reactions as Bin Laden’s death.

    First shots in defense of the working class have been fired in the class war and most of us are surprised it took this long.

    As someone who’s father was killed by health insurance companies, the assassination of the UHC CEO brings out some really passionate bloodthirsty emotions in me. And I’m just one person….

    The assassin is my hero. Too bad if it hurts your sensibilities. Fuck him, fuck his family, no sympathy. I hope there are many copycats, there are many deserving targets.

    Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent revolution inevitable. They have it coming.

      Sorry to hear about your father. There’s maybe nothing more horrific in Western society than the way we fund the lavish lifestyles of mass murderers like Brian Thompson.

    Can you think of anything that happened in the past month or so, perhaps involving US politics, that might have a tendency to radicalize people?
