It’s cause yours comes off as more optimistic whereas the other comes off as more realistic. Like, as a recent example, Diddy should have gotten a life sentence or even at least 20 years in prison, but he only got 4 and at most he might serve like 1-2. Seeking justice through the proper channels in this world doesn’t work and won’t work till we destroy everything and rebuild even if the road to get there is paved in blood.

I say they should have locked him up, I get downvoted.
You agree, he should have been locked up, you get upvoted.
I don’t give a fuck about the actual vote count, that doesn’t matter. But the differential of votes for two people that expressed the same opinion, the fucker should have been locked up, well that dumbfounds me.

And I choose to not participate in a world of violence (save for self defense or defense of my family or friends). I’d rather be helpful than harmful, like I’d rather carry groceries upstairs for elderly people rather than looking for a reason to shoot someone because they talk with a weird accent.

Did you miss the part where I'm pointing out the fact that it won't happen? I'm not agreeing with you, I'm making a point.
over_clox@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Did I miss your username? No.
Are you here with intent on causing trouble? I’m not.

You’re just here dividing people, are you from Russia per chance

No

I'm here making a point, and you're willfully ignoring that point to pretend I agree with you.

Guess what?
Those of us that choose to not participate in violence tend to live longer.

You’re getting downvoted because you’re saying we should do something that clearly will never be done. He ain’t been locked up yet despite a laundry list of crimes and convictions.
When justice becomes a joke, people will eventually take it into their own hands, for better or worse.

And by all means, if that’s what needs to be done, I already said it won’t hurt my feelings. I just choose not to participate in such a way. My late father was a weapons engineer, amongst other skills and trades. I shot myself in the arm when I was only 3.
So I choose to be a non-violent person, because I know what it’s like to be shot. Life ain’t a game, nor should it be treated as such. We should all be here trying to help each other, not this bullshit we got going on today…

Yeah man, but there’s what should be, and what is. Things are fucked. And unfortunately the people fucking everything up aren’t going anywhere peacefully.

There are people at the top who have the power to make things better for everyone but choose the furthest from that. They do direct harm to so many people with no accountability. To deny them of their lives would be showing them the respect that they show to others. It’s the least we could all do.
