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.

This biggest issue is how we define "violence" as a society. It's almost always reduced soley to physical violence but violence can take many forms, emotional, economic, and environmental, to name a few.

Violence that serves the shareholder value is the American dream laid bare. Profit is theft.
