Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Will be locked up for the next 400 years while people starve or die of preventable and treatable diseases.

It really doesn't have to be. The French figured this out a long time ago.

The French also existed within the same reality that they could agree on.

The right and left in America might as well be living in alternative realities... On the right they'll defend this to the death, they'll fight for Bezos as he crushes their local economies and they'll lick musks boots as long as he keeps "sticking it to the libs."

Unfortunately they also got way too happy with guillotines and devolved into anarchy. Robespierre had his reign of terror, and then he had his own head chopped off.

I'm not saying we don't redistribute their wealth. Let's just be careful to not do it in a way that leads to repeated redistribution because violence is normalized.
