We need to bring back the reflexive and violent reaction to communism in the US.

@swiley promoting violence is concerning for me as a moderator, suggesting it is ok to kill someone based on their opinions is not going to fly here.

@freemo I'm moving my political stuff to a self hosted instance after Christmas. After that you won't have to deal with me.

@swiley I have no problem with any of your other content from a moderation standpoint. This is the first one that crossed any sort of line.

That said if you'd like to switch instances I will wish you the best and happy to stay in touch.

@freemo I plan on keeping this account for technology oriented stuff (which was the original intention.)

@swiley Ahh, well you are welcome to do that as well of course and im happy to see you stay.

@swiley @freemo they do feel that way towards us already. only difference is we're not supposed to retaliate.

@icedquinn

Depends who you ask. I have no issue with someone shooting someone being violent towards them. But to support shooting all of them, even the nonviolent ones, no thats a line.

@swiley

@swiley @freemo there tends to be a big air of political correctness around the left's calls for violence. it's usually written off as "oh they need to be 'held accountable'" or whatever crap twitter says is okay. but what they usually mean is those people should be forcibly unemployed by an army of harpies who will attack anywhere that person works, and they leave the part where you're supposed to starve to death unspoken.

the right is just more honest about wanting them to die and skips the whole "oh no it's just 'accountability' meaning 'you cant work anywhere ever again'" charade.
@freemo @swiley they also literally held up dummies of the republican president's head on TV and MSM blurted about how that was ok because it was satire.

@icedquinn

Them acting inapproprietly is no more acceptable. I agree the left is deplorable. We wouldnt tolerate the violent left here either. In general, dont be violent :)

@swiley

@icedquinn

No arguments there. That said I wouldnt support the lefts tactics of violence/doxxing on qoto anymore than I'd support it from the right.

@swiley

@freemo @swiley you would because everyone does. they play the proper word games to hide what they mean. at least as far as they have to. when they're on home ground they don't.

how many times has twitter said its OK to talk about punching nazis etc

@icedquinn

Can you give an example where we ever condoned that shit from the left here?
