Kind of a funny moment in time we live in where some are clamoring to put people in jail for tweets/hate speech/mean words while simultaneously advocating for lower jail populations.
- greedo 6y agoIncitement to riot/insurrection isn't "mean words."
- ed25519FUUU 6y agoWere you on twitter at all during any of the protests of last summer? Vague “incitement of riot” charges are going to be used against a whole lot of anti-establishment groups that were active during that time (and now). If you think it stops at MAGA you are deceived.
- greedo 6y agoShow me a "Vague 'incitement of riot'" charge being brought against anyone. And I wouldn't include the BLM protests of the summer as anti-establishment in the same vein as the Qanon/1776er crowd that wanted to overthrow the government.
- Chris2048 6y ago> And I wouldn't include the BLM protests of the summer as anti-establishment Why not? because they only wanted to defund the police?
- greedo 6y agoDefund the police wasn't a universal mantra for the entire BLM movement and protests. That was seized upon by some who wanted to paint the entire summer of protests as monolithic. Many protestors simply wanted the police to stop killing and abusing minorities. In my opinion, anti-establishment types are anarchists or revolutionaries who want to overthrow the existing government, not change it.
