And we cant say "I hope xyz dies" without it being considered violence
That's not what you said. You said you hope someone would kill someone in the street and hope it's a painful death.
This is a call for violence, a directly suggestive one.
When every day the left openly calls for...
They don't do it here.

I am allowed to hope.
I never specified an 1. intent, 2. time, 3. place, 4. method
Without those its a non-issue.

I disagree. I can only explain what my own intent was. Final judgement to leave or remove a post is, as always up to you. I abide by your decision even though I disagree with the premise.
As always, thank you for keeping me within reason.
You know exactly why calls to violence aren't tolerated.
If the targeted person in your call to violence gets actually murdered, what do you think will happen to this place? Who do you think will be legally held responsible?

I do. We just disagree that it was a call to violence.

Whoever did it. And probably whatever posters they cite in their bullshit manifesto because our government is actively engaged in a propaganda war framing the entire right as violent and terrorists.
AOU you and I both know sooner or later this site, and every one like it is going to be censored and shut down over manufactured propaganda. If others can commit crimes, and blame your words for it, then none of your rights are secure, and anyone can be blamed for anything anyone else does.
I can't tell you to stand against that nonsense, because it would come at a personal cost. But I can tell you it doesn't matter that I'm a pacifist, and it doesn't matter that we obey the law, and it doesn't matter if we keep rhetoric in an even stricter standard than 'simply legal' because we're all gonna be blamed for the next horror or tragedy anyway, because thats whats always happens.
Maybe I'm just drunk, but the truth of it is we've spent twenty years being out-right demonized into political non-representation and that is always how it is going to be
Your site will go, just like the chans went, voat went, just like gab will go, just like every other alternative.
One day it will be as illegal to say "I disagree with CRT and LGBTQ being taught in school." as it supposedly is to say "I hope xyz dies".
I'm not really arguing with you here, I'm just saying whats on my mind.
