| Social media is not real life. How many of those comments are bots? How many people say things online they wouldn’t say in person? The right and left are not as far apart as the internet would have us believe. |

And when the algorithms on the rest of the media sites are used to drive maximum engagement for profit purposes, or maximum dissent because of the political leanings of their owner (e.g. X), social media is most definitely not the reality. | |

Those people were not bots. > How many people say things online they wouldn’t say in person? Ohh, so lovely of them. I wonder how Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and ultimately Paul Graham feel, to know that the only reason why a good portion of the population doesn't advocate for their death is taqiyya? | | |

| ▲ | username332211 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Perhaps very many. Perhaps few. Perhaps none. I'd like to sidestep the question, and ask, is lethal violence justified as a retaliation? But I'd like to ask that as an ethical, not as a strategic question. Suppose the starts align and the omens are good. Imagine the assassination of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk would be highly beneficial to all your pet political issues. Would killing them be a good thing? |

I don't really care about his problems; if he's worried about his popularity he could try being nicer to other people. https://tennesseelookout.com/2025/07/07/a-billionaire-an-ai-... |

| The case against has basically fallen apart already. If he’s a murderer why does he walk free? The prosecutors will keep billing hours those. They need a scapegoat. |
