Alright good folk, what’s your take here.
“Moment of aggression” is an interesting point, especially when the aggression is drawn out over a period of months. If someone puts an explosive collar on your neck, then every moment until the collar is disarmed should count as a moment of aggression.
I will accept that the attack was not proportional, but not in the way you think. The initial aggression took thousands of lives, drawn out over an agonising amount of time. Luigi took one, and it was quick.
The message was supposed to change how healthcare is dealt with, and to save lives as an extension. The hope is that one of the thousand will accept the message and change their behaviour to protect themself. It’s the same as the hope that a punch will make your attacker stop punching you. That punch is self-defence, even if it doesn’t work.
Final note? The fact that “stop letting innocents die for profit” is political says a LOT.
The point of the “moment of aggression” is that there is no way any democratically legitimated power can protect you immediately in the moment of a physical aggression. Unlike an unfair insurance system where you should be able to get legal protection and sue to claim your rights. If the system doesn’t protect one’s rights enough, then one should work on improving it through getting involved in the democratic process. Are they voting? Are they demonstrating? Have they done everything they could to support the politicians that defend their values, or risked themselves to carry the burden of becoming one? Killing people is just going to illegitimate your opinion, and also probably negatively impact the other people who share it too.
Any intervention on society, with a goal to impact it, is political, I don’t know what surprises you there.
You implied I “promoted murder” which requires you to go through all these wall of text.
I merely expressed support for a public figure.
I don’t see people get bent out of shpe over people supporting other “murders”
We don’t even know yet if Luigi even did it…
The entire censorship is is done based on implied intent that mods had to make up to censor speech.
You can your unpopular opinion without being censored, why can’t I have my for once popular opinion without being censored?
Funny how this system still operates on decentralized social media?
