Lemmy.world was never not cool with that opinion. There was an issue about talking about jury nullification which, it turned out, did not apply to this case, and it is not legal to call for assassination in The Netherlands, where the server is based, so those posts get removed because, and I really don't know why people don't get this, we want Lemmy.world to continue to exist.
Hey I appreciate your explaining the nuance. Thank you.
Yes, thank you! There's an important difference between "I can understand why he did that, the system indeed is fucked" and "More people should do this".
Empathy isn't necessarily a call to copy that behaviour and reminding people that a system that mistreats people will create suffering on all sides isn't the same as endorsing the suffering of one side.
It's not even an ethical issue in this case. It's literally that we have to obey the law if we want to exist.
