How is him saying Joe Biden should be executed for treason not advocating for violence?

The death penalty is the sentence. Execution is the act.

When someone is put to death by the state, the act itself is called an execution. They do it in a literal execution chamber.

Calling for the death penalty and calling for an execution mean the exact same thing.

Why list "trials, judges, reviews, juries, appeals" all of this as if it's more than one thing that often times doesn't work. Most of the convictions in the US are plea deals, they literally put you in a jail and tell you to say what they want or they'll make things worse and the only way you can avoid this is to have money to make bail.

If your boss steals from your wages you have to jump through hoops to try and get it back and they don't serve time. If you are accused of taking money from the company you are taken away by the state and put in jail till it can be proven you didn't. You can't expect me to trust that the system works in my favor when the system is clearly designed to not work in my favor.

I’m very aware of the flaws in the system.

And that's why you're standing up for Charlie Kirk's call for execution.

"I want my political enemies killed," versus "I want my political enemies killed by my political allies."

Very nuanced.

If you don't want people to call you a fascist then stop acting like a fascist.

execution: "The act or an instance of putting to death or being put to death as a lawful penalty."

Whatever he actually said (I don't know) what is the meaningful difference between "death penalty" and "execute"?

Again, if you can provide me with a quote and source where Charlie Kirk said Joe Biden should be “executed,” I will change my opinion on his assassination being justified.

I think you mean "received a death penalty for his actions" instead of "assassination".

so let’s break it down

execution is the killing part. it may be done by 3rd parties outside of the law (ie murder), or it could be the final part of a legal proceeding that leads to the death penalty

the death penalty is the conviction at the end of a legal proceeding

saying someone deserves the death penalty (ie jumping right to their conviction) skips the trial and sentencing etc of a normal legal proceeding. it’s not at all the same as saying someone should be tried for treason

he said that joe biden should be killed by the state no matter how you spin it

I'm sorry but why does whether or not an execution is sanctioned by the state matter in any way to you as a user of an anarchist instance? I genuinely cannot comprehend why that's even a factor in your argument???

No you won't. You'll just argue semantics like your dead nazi hero.

Of all the hairs to split this was a pretty ridiculous one

Until the users start brigading, harassing, or other unsocial behaviors I don't think hilarious chaos should be defederated. I don't agree with her but I haven't personally seen instance wide bad behavior from its users.

It's called being proactive.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

If you want to wait and see the hate spread, setting up your own instance is an option.

from its users

Would not be surprised if it was one user with several accounts

I don't think they were ever hiding those colors.

I've been saying that place is bad news for a while but no one listened to me and said "Oh they're not that bad, they just have dIFfeRenT oPiNIonS". PTB.

Admins who see this, you should really defed hilariouschaos and censure in fediseer. Instances like ExplodingHeads and Hilariouschaos cannot and should not be tolerated.
