Yeah, Reddit moderation is... Fucky wucky. But this is also a general problem in American society. It's perfectly okay to kill people for profit, but if you break a window you're the bad guy doing a violence. (It may be present in others as well, I just don't know)
Police violence is a okay. Rioting and causing property damage that’s bad.
Are you saying that because you believe it or because that's what the system says?
I was parroting the bizarre talking point people use in response to political/social issue riots.
People will hand waive or justify violence by the police. When the public responds in anger, the response is “Can’t we think of the property!?” What these people are saying that property has more value than a human life.
This is Lemmy, probably the latter.
I certainly hope so... But I've seen people who unironically espouse this stuff.
May the odds ever be in our favor.
