Guillotine Placed Outside Jeff Bezos' D.C. Home by Anti-Amazon Protesters
- YarickR2 6y agoI wonder if this will be tagged as hate speech and death threat
- pjc50 6y agoIt clearly is. I'm sure the unconditional free speech no censorship people will be along in a minute to say that this is constitutionally protected.

- jgwil2 6y agoIn what way is it hate speech?
- hackeraccount 6y agoIt's certainly not a message of love.
- jgwil2 6y agoHate speech doesn't mean messages of hatred in general, it means it's targeting a persecuted group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech
- karl11 6y agoThis is gross.
- diegoperini 6y agoIt's okay to argue that someone should go to jail. It is definitely not okay to demonstrate a threat via 18th century public execution devices.
- haunter 6y agoAccording to the new reddit rules this is ok
- luckylion 6y agoNo, the 0.1% are definitely not the majority, they are by definition a tiny minority.
- haunter 6y agoYeah but he is white so majority idk what did reddit think when they wrote those rules
- thinkingemote 6y agoI think Reddit should make it clear that if you live in Europe and you post that type of content you are breaking the law. In the UK hate speech does not have an exemption for certain groups. People should be warned as posters will get arrested.
- AlexTWithBeard 6y agoSorry, for those waking up from a century-long hibernation, what the new reddit rule is?
- haunter 6y agohttps://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/rules-reporting/account-and-community-restrictions/promoting-hate-based-identity-or https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/rules-reporting/acc... >While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.
- AlexTWithBeard 6y agoThis is lamentable. When I went through my corporate training, one of the things they said was that we all are a minority in some sense. Some are disabled, some have accent, some were raised by a single parent. Somewhat naive, but that was an eye-opener for me, an indication that we're all together in this boat. Saying that some minorities are more minor than others certainly doesn't help.
- thinkingemote 6y agoThe organisation is called "Abolish The Now" and they want to abolish (not just defund) the police, close all prisons and end Amazon. The article and quotes from the organisers say that the target is the company, no one is calling for Mr Bezo's head (at least using words).
- AlexTWithBeard 6y agoThere was a fictional story about Russian government in early 20th century to fencing off a large area and putting all communists there. This way the communists could build the communism in a confined area and clearly demonstrate its benefits. They were provided wit initial supply of pretty much everything and could ask for more should the need arise. The first thing young communists ran out of was ammo.
- Kiro 6y ago"guillotine jeff bezos" is nothing new and some definitely means it literally, although it has more or less become a meme with change.org petitions for guillotining him etc. But there are alot of people that are serious about "violent revolution" being the only way to true freedom.
- AlexTWithBeard 6y ago"Shouting fire in a crowded theater" is also a "meme". But doing so would still be extremely irresponsible.
- TMWNN 6y agoMeanwhile, we are told by the city councilor for the Seattle district with CHAZ that the real cause of the murder of two teens by CHAZ "security" is not taxing Amazon enough (https://twitter.com/cmkshama/status/1277686578068942848?s=20 https://twitter.com/cmkshama/status/1277686578068942848?s=20). This is what happens, Mr. Bezos, when you pay the Danegeld by trying to out-woke the woke.
- losthobbies 6y agononsensical stuff.

- Kiro 6y agoWhy was this flagged and why can't I vouch for it?
