Splattering lives is okay,but shattering such windows is the promotion of violence? Honestly? 🔨
In capitalist US, property is more valuable than human life.
Remember: You can take lives to protect property, you cannot damage property to protect lives.
Who told you that?
Rittenhouse
He was damaging property to protect lives?
His stated purpose of being there and taking his gun was to protect property (by taking lives if necessary) from people who were damaging property in order to protect lives (the BLM protests).
Huh. I don’t really consider Kyle Rittenhouse a valid source of my moral philosophy, so I’ve never heard his manifesto before.
Property is more valuable than human life everywhere in the world. For example, two million children die from hunger each year. 7$ will protect a child from malaria for a season. I could save so many lives by selling everything I own and donating it to charity, and yet I don’t. And neither do you, or most of the rest of the world.
Life has value. Each of us estimates our own life to be invaluable, but the life of those farther and farther away has less and less value for us. Not because it’s not actually worth less, but because we’re tribal beings. We care about ourselves first, then our tribe, then if we have any extra resources we might care about other tribes too.
But yeah, what I’m saying is I’d let the entirety of lemmy die for a crisp 1$ note and I’d lose no sleep about it, y’all were born in the wrong tribe.
You’re a bad person and you should stop pretending your selfish disposition is natural and immutable simply because you’ve noticed others are too. There are reasons people behave the way they do and those reasons can change.
It’s some weird sort of sarcasm/projection. He does not really mean it, I have been there, been edgy before…
In fairness, my dogs are considered “property” and I value both of them far more than the human who put this on their vehicle.
Thats just called familial priorities tho. Doggo is fam.
The mod might be referring to the sticker itself. “Don’t post bumper stickers that promote violence.”
Then the mod should have posted the comment as it’s own comment and pinned it to the top.
Another reason to stay out of the usa. Not just anecdotal, we’re talking about a country where walking on a public street can be illegal, and people who do are sometimes called a slur.
Because cities aren’t for people to live in, they’re for cars to drive trough
In general, the US seems to be weirdly pro-violence.
Being beaten up is portrayed as perfectly normal in media and advocating for violence (like here) seems to be totally okay for many.
That’s fucked up.
My favorite retort to those advocating for running over protesters:
If it’s OK for you to run over protesters blocking your path on the highway, it’s also OK for me to set fire to your car if you park it in the bike lane.
I wouldn’t park in a bike lane because I’m not an idiot.
I also wouldn’t block a live roadway for a protest as it is just inconveniencing others and would only alienate them from the cause I’m trying to advocate for, also because I’m not an idiot.
No movement ever accomplished anything by being convenient and quiet
Oh lordy, preach it. The louder we can all get, the more annoying we get. Which is the goal.
Hot take: DON’T FUCKING BLOCK ROADS WHILE PROTESTING!!
There’s a difference if you announce prior the specific highways or roads that’ll be blocked, but sitting in front of cars that are going about their business is shitty behaviour. Looking at you “Just Stop Oil”.
You’re gunna hate to learn about how we got the 5 day work week.
