Why not tell that to the News mods who took down my comment that simply said “and nothing of value was lost” and claimed that was celebrating and promoting violence and a violation of the Terms of Service of lemmy.world.
(I’m joking about telling them, obviously. Arguing with mods is more pointless than arguing with other commenters, which is already pretty pointless.)
Yeah, the mods over there are killing like half the comments. I looked through the modlog, and most of the deleted comments are pretty tame. The mods over there are sucking right now.
Meh, there’s worse mods out there. I’m sure it’s an overwhelming thread and they’re just slamming the brakes on everything to try to keep it under control. Probably like a thousand user reports already or something.
Do innocuous comments get caught in the crossfire? Yeah, oh well. I didn’t add anything particularly important to the conversation anyway.
Turns out mainstream journalism, news agencies, and even forums that deliver “the news” are actually there to force a particular cultural interpretation of the news whilst preventing others. We can see this in the sane washing of Trump.
It’s another aspect of cultural Class Warfare - The Frankfurt School pointed it out in this essay. They called it “The Culture Industry”, and Marcuse said it was an inescapable part of the reproduction of culture in the age of “mechanical reproduction”… Which is what Marcuse’ book “One Dimensional Man” is about.
Of course the millionaires and billionaires who fund the news and social media don’t want anyone seeing a certain kind of justice in the death of one of their own. Even if it’s really a byproduct of a system (techno feudalism) that really offers no other pathway to justice.
Not having sympathy for the death of another/Saying karma bit them in the ass != Wishing for another’s dearh
