    Its only challenging to moderate if your interests are aligned with the billionaire class.

    The amount of hate speech online that goes unmoderated, and this is where they try to draw the line. Pitiful

      Well, plenty of hate speech is fueled and paid by the oligarchies running troll farms and owning social networks. They don’t like the idea of someone rich getting shot at because of abusing society either.

      Because you can’t let people realize that they are not alone with their opinions about rich people. That’s the first step to change, and you can’t have that.

        We are in a abusive relationship with capitalism. Straight up Stockholm Syndrome with our oppressors.

        I guarantee there is a way to have a discussion about the validity of Luigi’s motives without it seeming like a call for more murder in the streets.

            We have had decades of what? Just because you suck at doing something, and fail doesn’t mean the answer is murder. The same challenges that you can’t overcome to solve this problem probably exist all over the place so cutting corners here isn’t going to solve everything.

            In fact the problem is just going to get harder to solve with the shortcut because these problems have so many resources at their disposal and they’re experts at scheming… and the original problem you say “we’ve had decades of” is still here with us.

              Shut up.

              We have decades of attempting to alleviate grievances with the system by using the avenues offered by the system and are instead met with hostility by the system we are supposed to be able to affect change through peacefully.

              Weve been conditioned to believe the only acceptable option to facilitate progress for civil rights and labor rights causes is peaceful protest while those who dictste what we are taught in schools through the textbooks they publish also militarized our police agencies and granted them impunity to use lethal violence against us.

              All while our society glorifies retributive violence when that violence is targeted against those whom the ruling class has deemed a threat to the order they wish to maintain.

              We are supposed to have a right to instigate a revolution if our social institutions have failed us and we’ve literally exhausted every other option at this point so its time to use the avenues that the wealthy deem to be good enough to use when they want to progress their agendas. If non violent means were so effective at initiating and maintaining progressive change then those in power would be initiating sit ins and marches instead of insurgency, coup de tats and assassinations.

                Brace for high shool history because we have been dealing with this for a lot longer than a few decades.

                  The usa as a whole has only existed for 2 dozen decades. Decades is a more apropos chronological quantifier than centuries.

      The word they’re avoiding is “suppress”. It needs to be suppressed because they don’t want anymore CEOs getting what they deserve.

      Because if you let it go enough, people will break the law and someone will come knocking on the instance owners door.

          Sentences like yours don’t need to be moderated, but calls for violence or solicitacions of a crime are illegal in most countries and need to be moderated, so an instance doesn’t get taken down.

    All I know is that the root cause for why Luigi is a god damn hero will never be addressed and people that try to address it will be systematically suppressed.

      Yep, he had spreadsheets right there on his laptop and was planning on adding a whole new year of patient deaths to them.

      Considering he was headed into a meeting and was gonna plan to bring in even more profit likey by denying even more care I’d say it was certainly self defense.

    Alright, be honest with me, am I an idiot for having invested all my faith in BUSINESS INSIDER to be my beacon of truth through these dark and uncertain times?

      Turn the extremist sympathizing public back into a moderate public. The former is scary, a problem, intolerable, requiring correction. Moderation.
