No, it's because the President told them to do it.

And the reason why the pedophile rapist got elected is because usians did not make an example of those idiots storming the capitol immediately.

Violence is never the answer, but some people are not asking questions; some people are looking for consequences.

Unfortunately a closed fist speaks louder than an open mouth when a person has no intention of listening…

We know why wars happen in the modern age and it isn’t people punching each other, actually.

parent

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

One unfixably foul mouth results in LOTS of closed fists. Lots of closed fists results in someone backing down and surrendering, not closing their fist.

The “unfixably foul” part is the key. We cherish people’s ability to speak their mind, and it may not fully match ours. But “women exist for sexual slavery” is a long, long way from matching anyone’s I ever want to share a room with.

Chances are, he didn’t mean it. So, it’s a lesson: Don’t ever even pretend to mean it.

That’s not entirely true, war is far more complex than that…

My point is/was that sometimes a short sharp shock delivers one of two outcomes: it either clarifies someone’s mind or teaches them the important lesson that words have consequences.

I can’t stress enough that it is a final resort though. All other avenues need to have been fully explored first.

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well, as far as misogyny goes, all other avenues have been explored. Extensively, and repeatedly, through more than 100 years of feminism literature and praxis, discussions, and real world research.

Violence has its place, and when the other person is dehumanizing you, that is almost always the place.

In order to explore other avenues, the other person needs to regard you as an equal. For those with authoritarian/fascistic/bigoted leanings among us, the only way for that, is consequences, because the only thing they care about, is consequences.

parent

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, that’s kind of my point. One of the avenues to explore is whether it’s even worth your time to try any civilised approach.

Yeah. I think about it as just as a spoiled child: if you spoil them every time they forms a tantrum, then they'll wrongly learn that doing a tantrum not only doesn't has any consequences, but even that they'll might get rewarded for doing that.

That mysoginistic kiddo was that spoiled child.

You do realize the police are only there to protect the state and capital, not you, right? They're more likely to escalate to violence than most regular folk, they're trained to treat everyone as a potential threat. The idea of calling the police over someone calling another person a whore is utterly ridiculous.

parent

[–] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

According to Game Theory you have to retaliate once if someone crosses a line.

You need to make it clear that that type of behavior is not acceptable while simultaneously not going too far. Or else you will become a doormat.

In the case of the hockey player, 1 punch is enough. More than 1 punch would cross a line.

Game theory says no such thing.

More in line with actual (but barely relevant) game theory results: In repeated interactions, strategies that respond to bad behavior in proportion, then quickly forgive, tend to do well, and being a bit more forgiving than strict tit-for-tat helps when misunderstandings happen.

The key here is in proportion, and you said it yourself: "while simultaneously not going too far". Responding with physical violence to a verbal attack is disproportionate and it's going too far.

Intolerance for intolerance is needed in a tolerant society and in my opinion punching that person in the face was not too far. That guy needs to learn to not behave like that towards women.

He got swift justice and maybe he will think twice before he does that again.

I don't think violence was the only soultion here. In the best case an adult would have heard what he said, banned him for that game, and calmly explained to him why that is wrong to do and he would improve himself. But from experience with kids behaving like that (depending on the age, young kids might listen) he wouldn't care.

I am not strictly against violence, I am however strictly against murdering people.

You do realize that being obnoxious to people who don't share your support of violence as a teaching method, undermines your whole position? It makes you sound like one of those "I was spanked and I turned out OK" people who did not, in fact, turn out OK.

Parental abuse is a lot different psychologically then just fucking up a peer for their bullshit. But my comments were removed and I have NEVER had that happen on the fediverse before.

You're posting on a lemmy.world server community and they have rules against talking about illegal things in their countries (Netherlands, Finland, Germany). This includes calls of violence and they consider comments encouraging violence to be illegal/ against the rules. If you go to lemmy.world and scroll to bottom they link to their bylaws.

It started when the united health ceo was murdered. Anyone who showed support of it was getting moderated. Eventually they clarified that we can speak of factual things but we can't make calls for further violence. So i can say i didn't lose any sleep when the united health ceo was murdered. I cant say anything that calls for more violence against other ceos.

The fediverse is great but now you have an extra layer of rules: your server rules (dbzer0 is pretty good), server rules of whatever community you're posting in, and the community rules of the comm you're posting in.

Still gets less moderated than reddit mods who love to powertrip

If they were adults, violence definitely would have been accepted as it's part of the game.

Not a sucker punch in the face at faceoff, but an actual fight after the play starts. It's literally part of the sport.

In the context of hockey, escalation to violence is not only acceptable, it's an integral aspect of the sport.

Escalation to violence is never acceptable

Bullys and abusers love this mentality. It's the only reason they can keep being bullies and abusers.

Just remove the bully

You were obviously never a target of bullies growing up. All that does is teach the bully not to get caught. And generally will invite retaliation against whoever the bully decides is at fault for it, usually whoever "snitched".

But damn few bullies come back and try again after being popped in the nose by the target of their bullying or a bystander. Because they were taught the lesson on the one language they're able to hear it in.

People who've never been in a fight have as much business weighing in on the use of violence as celibate priests have weighing in on sex.

I do.

You’re doing the far-right bullshit thing of treating the fact that a position requires (gasp) human judgment as an argument against the position itself. “Who gets to decide what’s fair?” “Who gets to decide what constitutes harm?” “Who gets to decide what’s reasonable?” They act like these are impossible questions that somehow invalidate the whole idea. If you’re an adult and have any confidence in your own morality, you should be able to make judgment calls. I promise it really isn’t an impossible dilemma unless you’re a moral relativist coward.

parent

[–] OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 1 point 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The problem is that lots of adults have confidence in their own morality, but they don't agree. So if you allow violence to enforce your own moral code, then you have to recognize that they will do it too.
