Its in moments like these that I really appreciate non corporate social media. Everywhere outside the fediverse all I see is people freaking out, acting like this is the first shooting to ever happen in the united states. Even supposed leftists are just like “I don’t agree with the man but no one deserves to get killed over their beliefs”.
They seem to have forgotten that people get killed over way dumber shit all the time. Personally I care about all the other shootings a lot more than this one. Especially the school shooting in Colorado that happened the same afternoon, which is being mostly ignored.
There are even lots of comments that condemn anyone making light of his death, or even just making comments about his politics. This dissent they condemn is almost nowhere to be found though, because algorithms bury it all straight to the bottom. The only opinion allowed to be seen is “I’m horrified look at me”.
Coming back to a place where a real discussion can be had makes me realize just how important this project really is. We need more spaces that we truly own.

Because corporate social media usually disallows VPNS/Tor and people who use those are probably not using any anonyminization. Its a very bad idea to say “LOL DESERVED IT” since the feds can break down your door.
This why why every left-of-center politician “condemns” it, even if deep inside, they are secretly celebrating it.
This is mentioned in DeathNote (I’m not glorifying any of the characters btw), Light said that in real life, people would always condemn extrajudicial killings because its a social norm/expectation to condem it, but if given anonymity (and without the censorship, of course), they would reveal their true feelings. Hence, Lemmy (for the left), 4chan (for the right). Reddit censored all those comments, which is why you don’t see them.
IRL, admitting to enjoying a someone’s death (excluding enemy combatants) could land you in involuntary commitment, lands you on top of government watchlists, they could send their goons to harass you. That’s why you should never admit to it when on a non-anoynous account, and never say that IRL.

I think the vast majority of them actually do condemn it, but it’s the real reason that’s bad: The lives of the elites themselves are not supposed to be in play when they get the regular people to kill each other.

I don’t believe it was deserved, but it wasn’t surprising and I’m certainly not upset it happened. He lived by the gun and died by the gun.
All of these people have rapist mentalities. They deserve it

let’s not forget that light was a psychopath
Psychopaths sometimes utter words that turns out to be right
Totally. Fb is an absolutely cesspool right now as is reddit.
its stunning how different the conversations are here as opposed to reddit where everything is so damn censored and controlled.
