Listen... Humans find patterns everywhere they go. That's just how humans work. Your idea is clearly a left wing idea (anti-corporation, breaking monopolies, etc.). I get it. I support this ideology. However, when you call for imprisoning people for life right beside the presentation of this idea, you unknowingly draw up a terrible association to it. Unfortunately, the first thing that people think about when they hear "communism", is "gulags". You unknowingly reinforce people's beliefs regarding this.
Agreed completely. However, I don't think that the solution for this is undermining law and order. Vigilantism helps nobody. Except for non-democratic systems, violence always leads to your idea being dismissed immediately. Hence, it should be avoided as much as possible (except in cases where you are in immediate danger).
Words have meanings. Not all people have an advanced sense of humor like you. At least I don't. Sure, if you meant the above as a joke, you should probably have put an "/s" in front of it. This is exactly how the far right does its dog whistling.
A: "Black people something something racist......"
B: "You can't say that bro... That's racist"
A: "It's a shitpost bro! Move on..... People can't take a joke these days....."
You seem like good people. I hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend.
Awwww you too!!! <3
