Encouraging mentally ill people to assassinate politicians is encouraging suicide.
Its not an encouragement, its an acknowledgemnt of fact.
Nobody encouraged Thomas Matthew Crooks to do what he did. Imagine how many of those people are currently on medications.
But you're saying it would have good consequences for society if someone with no hope in life used what time they have left to do something big to a bad person. You should be careful about saying things like that online. Someone might do it because of what you said.
That’s the goal. You don’t defeat fascism by asking nicely.
Sure are a lot of turbulent priests around!
