minus-squarehendrik@palaver.p3x.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 months agoDude, Jefferson literally advocated for violence. They’re not wrong in the slightest with that. He said people dying in a violent battle (in pursuit of something) is the “natural manure”. And killing lots of people is pretty much peak violence.
minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoGot it, so we’re allowed to post news articles on .world discussing facsists advocating for and directly enacting brutal violence… at a grand scale… But unspecified, indirect references to the concept of violent resistance, self-defense, on a similar scale… nah, users can’t do that. You do not see a hypocrisy here? A blatant and glaring double standard?
