>As a result, we find historical figures such as John Brown very admirable and hold strong opinions on what should happen to slaveholders and their ilk. Beehaw doesn't seem to like that.
What does this even mean in the context of a social media site?
- armchairhacker 3y ago> Group A: “We should punch Nazis, we actively encourage punching Nazis” > Beehaw: “Hey! You can’t advocate for violence towards people!” > Group A: “They’re Nazis, they deserve it” Something along those lines. In this case not exactly “punching Nazis”, but advocating something “should happen to slaveholders and their ilk”. For context, John Brown tried to organize a violent rebellion among black slaves in the South: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_(abolitionist) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_(abolitionist)

- Anon_Forever 3y agoThis sounds like it boils down to "everyone I dislike is a Nazi." The mirror image of this would be: > Group A: “We should punch commies, we actively encourage punching commies” > Beehaw: “Hey! You can’t advocate for violence towards people!” > Group A: “They’re commies, they deserve it” Something along those lines. In this case not exactly “punching commies”, but advocating something “should happen to commies and their ilk”. I know who John Brown is, but that history is completely immaterial to the topic at hand.
