[email protected]โ€™s mod team is far better than most. looks like this was amidst a whole host of other real misinformation from drag so i donโ€™t really care there was a flub of language on this one.

You're right. Drag was spreading misinformation. At the time, drag took the word of the mods and admins that Dutch law prohibits advocating violence. But yesterday drag read the Dutch criminal code and realised inciting violence is only illegal against government authorities and protected groups. It's perfectly legal in the Netherlands to incite violence against CEOs. Drag apologises for spreading misinformation.

Well that's troubling. Seems to me that "I'll shoot you if you leave this cage" is pretty darn violent.

So you think literally all laws are violence? Not even laws... just any form of authority?

Damn, I knew lemmy was a fantasy land but y'all are way further gone than I ever even pretended to imagine.

Laws are simply the promise of violence by the dominant socio-economic class, you guys wanna make some bacon?
