    My understanding is that he was not “charged with terrorism”, but NY has a provision where they can use terrorist-like criteria as one of the ways a person can be charged with first-degree murder instead of something lesser.

    Reason: Not a meme

    That’s true. A screenshot of a Threads post does not a meme make.

      Systematically killing people based on their income by denying them essentials like health care, shelter, and legal protection from financial predation sounds like warfare to me. Especially when you couple it with a complete double standard on what constitutes protection from physical violence.

    He also wouldn’t have made it to this point alive were he Black, nor would he have the same kind of support had he previously spoken out about Black liberation or the Land Back movement for example, rather than how “wokeism” is the cause of racism.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - him shooting a CEO was good and inspiring, putting anyone up on a pedestal, starting a cult of personality, and ignoring some or all of the different systems of oppression at play, is definitely not.

    Hello friend, Lemmy isn’t quite big enough that you need to post these twice, as it is, it will get seen even if you post to an entirely dead community. Multiple times just takes up space
