I've seen too many that didn't post targeted death threats.
Also of people who posted stuff that could be interpreted as vague calls to action when riots were happening.
It becomes notewhorty tho that those people of note making a facebook posts got punished harder than the average rioter and reprisal seems to disproportionately target action that establishment might feel threathened by.
From my experience it's easy to find plenty similar or even more direct or more hatefull messages or calls to action regarding other places, events or more minor movements. But those come from minorities or involve movements with less momentum or movements abroad.
- lexicality 2mo agoOn the one hand, I hate the expansion of authoritarian power by the state. On the other, I do think that we should put people in prison for posting on facebook. That way I won't have to keep seeing my crazy uncle at family gatherings!
- modo_mario 2mo agoI can't help but think you'll get a lot more crazy uncles as more people subconsciously (and consciously) feel the social contract has been broken and democratic deficits persist. There will just be more social cooling with all the dog whistles that follow.
