It's against the rules of lemmy.world to call for violence against insurance companies, and the people who work for them, so I won't. But I don't think it's against the rules to imply I would if that wasn't in the rules.

It's not against the rules to imply that the rules should be different.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it's the jurisdiction that they operate under that enforce some of those rules.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Because of the implication?

Did you know that it's illegal to say "I want to kill the president of the United States of America"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Do you think that sketch would be allowed on air these days

sounds like something the whitest kids you know might say.

I'm surprised to see this comment and the amount of upvotes.

Doesn't this break the PC bubble, where every person who works a mediocre job is a good person and no matter how disgusting the company is, you should never take your frustration out on them, yada yada yada.

But if it's an insurance company it's okay to commit violence?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yup, thats it. People are literally saying that its okay to commit violence against anyone who works for any kind of insurance company. Even the cleaners of a home insurance firm.

Well done you for understanding the situation.

Fuck you lot are a bunch of sour puss losers.

My point is, seemingly 90% of the American public are so blinded by their views, living in an echo chamber that anything the other side does is bad and everything they say is flawless. It's fucking madness.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I got your point. I mocked it because your point was stupid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whatever makes you feel better buddy.

You know the funny thing about an argument? From the outside, both parties look like dumb cunts. I'm having fun though, you don't seem to be.

Good luck to you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Fair enough, most people tend not to enjoy being incapable of understanding something so very simple. I mean, if you enjoyed that, I can only imagine how much fun you'd have disagreeing with what was actually l being said.

Oh well, I'm glad you're still managing to find a way to have fun though. Well done you.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't think anyone has advocated violence here, have they? That's certainly not in my comment.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Eeeeehhh.... depends on negative individual impact on society and personal gain? I think the barely surviving insurance Employee should never be the target, what are you implying here? Have the insurance office shootings already taken over the school shootings? What meta level of could should have we reached to Dodge the ban?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Different people

I believe a revolution that is gained through blood is doomed to become oppressive

Look at China for instance

Other people disagree and feel change cannot happen without violence

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

France would certainly disagree with that statement.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

France had a pretty rough go of things before Napoleon was elected

Then had another rough go of things until Napoleon III died and they abolished the monarchy

I said this same thing on another thread regarding why Jan 6 was just a protest and not a violent attack or insurrection or coup and got downvoted to hell.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Depends on the moderator. The can say it’s a “call for violence”

Bunch of pussy bullshit
