PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I'm going to try to do what I can. (Last one I promise. Just twice. Not going to spam but dude is a big part of the Lemmy community, especially with Trek, and he deserves the help. And to the mods, if this doesn't fit and you want to remove? Go for it. I completely understand it and I am sorry)

Edit: Oh wait I'm the mod here. Well, I say it is fine

I think revenge only has value as revenge if it comes from the victim.

'Evil' is kinda stupid

And 'removing' is what you so when you can't fix. Like, don't replace if you can recycle. If youre just murdering everyone who you don't like, I think that's bad.

Ah, nevermind then. It seems we have complete disagreement.

'revenge' is valued through the nature of the act. If you know that wronging someone is to have consequences, that acts as a deterrant. But more importantly, it artificially imposes a moral imperitive. You wrong someone, you must be for your misdeed. To allow the victim to participate in the act is as best meaningless, their satisfaction is not why justice is being dealt. At worst, it justifies their darker impulses and could corrupt otherwise good people.

Yeah, "evil" is anyone i disagree with. I have achieved my views through discussion with many people from many walks of life, and through witnessing societal interaction, and by self analyzing intensely. I am fully prepared to defend my views as just and correct, as well as give logical reasoning behind why my views are correct. If my views were deemed to be incorrect, i wouldnt have them. In other words, if you dont want to be deemed evil, stop making objectively bad decisions.

Yep, removing is what you do to things you cant fix. We probably could fix these people, open up their brains and physically reprogram them to remove things like racism, sexism, and othering. But people seem unwilling to actually fix the problem, so more dramatic steps must be taken in the short term until we have a more stable society that is able and willing to engage in progressivism.

If youre just murdering everyone who you don't like, I think that's bad I see where youre coming from, but you have to understand that the people I dont like a nazis, rapists, and facsists. If it wasnt justified to to murder them, they wouldnt be on that list.

And again, its not that I want to murder anyone, and im certainly not planning to do so unless someone attempts to infringe upon my rights as an American citizen or rights as a human being. But someone needs to remove these people because fixing them has proven to not be a viable strategy.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
