      Having an opinion is fine, but please refrain from advocating for any violence.

        Me laughing at corrupt officials that got scared by what was probably a firecracker is not advocating for violence. If it had been a significant explosion then there would have been images, video and live reporting of the scene, but the fact that there is not leads me to believe that this was basically nothing even newsworthy and was just dramatized by media.

          Correct. Hence, me making a post instead of removing yours. I just wanted to make it clear where the line is.

        No ofcourse not, but whatever the fuck is going on in alabama is not politics. It is corruption and religous fascism which needs to be eradicated, just like my nazi great grandparents in germany were for what they did.

          That’s specious. You disagreeing with it doesn’t make it not politics. One group of people are using the power of the state to oppress another group of people. Anything that pertains to government policy is politics. Your nazi family using the power of the state to murder my family members was also politics. It’s not normal or sane politics, but that doesn’t redefine what the word means.

          Does the right get to bomb abortion clinics because it’s “not politics […] which needs to be eradicated”?

          Regardless, whether you call it “politics” or not, your comment is tacitly supporting violence to further a political or ideological goal (which is a common definition of terrorism.) It just happens to be an ideology you agree with.

          edit: Also, you’re contradicting yourself.

          It is corruption and religous fascism

          Who is it you accuse of being corrupted here? Oh yes, politicians.

          What is Fascism? It’s a system of government or political philosophy.
