That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
Oh fucking hell he's a megalomaniac he's awful!!! Horrible man. How the fuck can reddit justify this shit? How has EVERYONE not left?
He is such a teenager. It's embarrassing.
This feeds into the right-wing fantasy that they're super tough warriors. You see a lot of literature and fictional TV aimed in this direction.
It's kind of like the white savior complex but instead of saving some victimized minority, they're saving weaker and more helpless individuals in their own society. But all the military hero returns home and confronts nasty biker gang or evil drug dealers and kicks their ass without when trying. It all reinforced their world view.

This should show Americans how billionaires perceive "peaceful protests".
Arguing for the appropriation of billionaires' assets is not violence.
This is the same kind of thing the 19 year old high school dropout with two kids he doesn’t have custody of posts on Facebook. Like “the devil whispered in my ear you can’t handle the storm and i said i am storm”
Honestly the worst thing about this is that he has the confidence to be as big of a douche as he is looking like this..
Most people need to be supermodels to be as intensely unattractive in literally every other way as he is..
But then he’s not appealing to the general population, he’s appealing to.. well not regular human people…
"WHITE WHALE!
HOLY GRAIL!"
Something something harpoons? Idk, I haven't read Moby Dick.
That makes no sense. You can totally call yourself peaceful if you are peaceful.
Who doesn't want to be harmless? Who would want to cause harm????
You're just not alpha enough to understand. Real men beat their wives
Hey, I can beat my wife, sometimes. Like I have won many games of Catan over the years.
Elon isn't capable of anything resembling violence. He's a skinny fat pussy.
There's nothing skinny about him. He's regular fat
I meant his arms are skinny and his body is fat.
He might be able to fall on a small child and crush them with that grotesque torso of his.
Apart from all the other bullshit rightfully called out below, this makes an illogical implication. Being the smart autistic superbrain Melon claims to be, it's surprising he doesn't see that. Or maybe not, because in reality he's just a sad ass who is too scared of just going to therapy.
If: Not being capable of violence => Not being able to call yourself peaceful
Then: Being able to call yourself peaceful => Being capable of violence
But not: Being capable of violence => Being able to call yourself peaceful
reddit mods are soft, i got banned too. They might need to grow a pair.
That’s gotta be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
The crux of fascism is making your base paranoid. Make them believe all their murder is done out of self defense. If they would not kill all those other people, others would kill them.
The perfect example is the paranoid ethnostate in the middle east.
Sorry, but I agree with this one. Not the "great" violence part, but yeah. If you are not capable of inflicting violence, you are not making a choice. You have no choice but to be harmless.
We used to say this a good bit in r/liberalgunowners, along the lines of, "I am a peaceful man, but that does not make me harmless." You would have a hella time pushing me hard enough to draw, but I have the choice if it comes to that.
This notion is exactly why conservatives think they can run roughshod over us. They see us as harmless little twerps that couldn't fight back if our life depended on it.
As a lefty gun owner, couldn't agree more. Peace as a choice is only available to the folks who know how to do otherwise, and frankly even simple know-how isn't enough. Pacifism is no virtue, peace is no natural state.
when did Lemmy become the "I got banned from reddit" frontpage?
ffs people, STOP GOING THERE. Stop thinking about it. It's a shithole url. Get over it.
This sub, the one you are currently participating in by commenting on it, is titled “Reddit”…
I'll be a bit pedantic and say that this is a community not a subreddit, since we're, y'know, not on reddit.
Oh I thought “sub” was like universal terminology like “sub-forum” or something. So to clarify “sub” here is “community”?
It's fine to still call it a sub. Everyone know what you mean. If anyone else really feels the need to be pedantic, it's just not a "sub-reddit," but you still "sub-scribe" to it, so...
What the hell even is this?
What a great fat wet lettuce of a human. He's only capable of paying other people to do his dirty work.
No.
Elon's mother stopped him having that cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg because of his bad back. That wasn't his fault.
Also Elon, " Mom, Mark is being mean to me again." It's ok lil Elon, she says. You are funnier and more handsome.
This isn’t /shittyphilosophy or some sort of personal mantra, this is signaling what he thinks of those who do not engage in violence against him. He’s simultaneously calling out everyone for being weak and not challenging him and more importantly to himself implying he is strong because of that lack of resistance.
That Mangione fellow, what a peaceful guy.
