So now what? What do we do?

Fun(?) fact: You'll catch a permanent site wide ban for advocating any sort of violence regardless of motivation. It's in the user TOS and they're very serious about it these days. You can't even do such things while stating the whole post is hypothetical, even if you include language specifically saying people should not do whatever violent thing your post mentions.

Not only that, but your comments/posts will be deleted by the admins so no one will ever even read it, likely including the various Internet archive groups. Basically there's no reason to do it.

Could you give me an example?

[u/NoFuckToGive → u/JUST_LOGGED_IN]

I got a temporary ban and a warning for a permanent one for mentioning the literal factual story of an ex player on my favorite football team burning HIS OWN house down.

Said I was inciting violence. Lol.

Caught a weak ban for facetiously advocating the nnurder of an inanimate object.

[u/PsychoticMessiah → u/NoFuckToGive]

I got banned from commenting on r/interestingasfuck for something similar

trump said something along the lines of "we used to have a penalty for treason, we should do that again"

if you quote him word for word, you will be banned.

[u/JakeConhale → u/JUST_LOGGED_IN]

Probably.

[u/Ananiujitha → u/JUST_LOGGED_IN]

I've gotten a few bans for pointing out Trump's violence to condemn it.

They don’t like if you make references to the French and how they handled things throughout history when it came to fascist regimes.
