To say imprisonment is not a violent act takes some extreme mental gymnastics.
At the same time, Drag, these posts are inflammatory in nature. That’s why you keep getting banned for trolling.
“drag” is just a troll
[email protected]’s mod team is far better than most. looks like this was amidst a whole host of other real misinformation from drag so i don’t really care there was a flub of language on this one.
You’re right. Drag was spreading misinformation. At the time, drag took the word of the mods and admins that Dutch law prohibits advocating violence. But yesterday drag read the Dutch criminal code and realised inciting violence is only illegal against government authorities and protected groups. It’s perfectly legal in the Netherlands to incite violence against CEOs. Drag apologises for spreading misinformation.
Well that’s troubling. Seems to me that “I’ll shoot you if you leave this cage” is pretty darn violent.

And, probably most importantly: The Netherlands’ legal definition of violence includes domestic violence, child abuse, and incitement to violence.
So, yeah, good job mods. Who would have ever expected drag to present misinformation 🙄🙄🙄 nobody could have seen this coming
Do you think people stay in prison by gentle persuasion? No. They’re kept there by threat of violent force.
So you think literally all laws are violence? Not even laws… just any form of authority?
Damn, I knew lemmy was a fantasy land but y’all are way further gone than I ever even pretended to imagine.
Give an example of an authority that does not derive its power from the threat of violence.
Laws are simply the promise of violence by the dominant socio-economic class, you guys wanna make some bacon?
