Have seen a few posts popping up recently just straight up calling fo violence barely disguised as memes

Had thought Lemmy had chilled out a bit on that kinda thing for a while but seems to be coming back now

Anyone else noticing the same or just me?

They already fight fire with fire. What’s your solution, continue to lay down and take it? Continue, for decades, to get anally raped with no lube?

As a bullied child, that’s not how this works. You fight back. Drones have proven themselves in Ukraine. A new asymmetrical warfare is coming and it’s best we catch these overprivileged shitheads while they’re still finding their balance in this new world the assassin ushered in. They need to be reminded they are neither invincible nor untouchable.

I'm on your side. You're speaking out of desperation, lashing out instinctually.

But as I said before, directionless anger will not get you far. You and those like you will surely fail, and all of your rage will amount to nothing.

As they say, when you come at the king, you best not miss. As bad as you feel the situation is now, it could be far, far worse.

You sound like you’re discouraging more assassinations. If so we’re not on the same side.

I'm on the side that wants to produce meaningful change for human society. I want to help people.

If you just want to kill people without thinking or caring about the consequences, then I guess we aren't on the same side.

How’s doing things the peaceful way working out? Make peaceful change impossible and violent revolution is inevitable. Our leaders fucked around for 40+ years now they’re gonna find out.
