I just got a ban for “encouraging violence”. Someone asked “what will you do to celebrate when he dies?” Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they’d put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians’ careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It’ll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

    I understand that there are laws against violent speech online so the platforms have their hands tied in some ways, but they are completely fucking stupid. We need to get rid of them entirely. People are just going to say “luigi them,” instead of “kill them,” then “luigi” will become a banned keyword, it will get replaced with something else and so on forever. Especially when your country is at war, there is no way to talk about reality without talking about violence. And violence is justified in self defense. These laws are the product of some soy ass peace time virtue signalers and need to be immediately overturned so that people can begin organizing an insurgency for when the yanks invade.
