        We’re getting ever closer to world run by right-leaning authoritarians and you’re worried about getting killed by tankies?

          Yes? Acting like tankies haven’t also killed people… I had tankies stalk me on lemmy because I: was under 30, and did not have a political science degree. You’d think that’s an exaggeration but it’s not.

              Became a moderator of c/politics saying that we wouldn’t censor based on political view

                So you somehow convinced enough mods in a famously defensive community to become a moderator yourself, then you told them you you’re letting in right-wing viewpoints? Or did they make you a mod after you said you wouldn’t censor?

            Yeah but that’s what extreme leftists suggest: universal healthcare and education, guaranteed employment and housing, good retirement benefits, good working conditions under collective ownership…

                    I don’t support extreme actions to enact change, I want to enact change which is met with violence, to which I respond. Look at Allende in Chile being murdered and a Democratic peaceful movement being turned into fascist dictatorship. Look at Mosaddeq in Iran. There are many such cases.

                    The system in which we live is already violent. Millions of people are killed needlessly every year by lack of healthcare, poor nutrition and mental health crises, even in developed countries. US economics kic sanctions have been found to kill half a million people yearly for the past 30 years, more than the worldwide deaths due to war during the same period. Ending this violence is the peaceful alternative.
