The guillotine shit reeks of astroturfed social engineering which makes it easy to paint bitcoiners as violent/radical/dismissible etc.

Sus.

Yeah it's all backwards. Enitolliug.

You're not zappable Schmoe!

Nah, I think it was organic. I’ll follow up if I can confirm my suspicions of who got a lot of those accounts suspended

you must be new here...

Why is everyone saying it? I haven’t followed well enough, on its face it seems like a call to execute some possibly specific subset of leaders - which would fall under calls to violence which is one of the few types of illegal speech in pro-free-speech countries.

I’ve noticed some prominent pro-bitcoin voices here saying it. I don’t have Twitter so I can’t speak on its prevalence there. Very much seems like the type of shit the government does when they want to sow the seeds which give them cause to crack down. The social media equivalent of sending malicious actors into a protest to incite violence so they can send in the riot police and the tear gas.

I get wanting change, but referring to yourself and Ilk as “guillotine enthusiasts” is so cringe it doesn’t even seem organic.

its a joke, im making fun of how ridiculous it is to get banned for something that is not even a direct threat.

Whats next, banning pitchforks?

All cutlery henceforth banned 💜

“Incitement to violence, including incitement to racial violence, is not protected by the First Amendment. This is a very narrow exception; mere advocacy of violence cannot be made criminal “except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.” Three elements must be met: (1) the speaker must intend to cause violence, (2) he or she must intend that the violence occur immediately, and (3) the violence must be likely to occur immediately.”

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious that the speaker didn’t 1, 2, or 3.

Fair. Never been good at detecting sarcasm via text. There’s so many wild people these days it’s hard to give people the benefit of the doubt.

That’s on me.
