MODERATORS
There are 1050 estimated billionaires in the US. In 2024 we've had 38 school shooting related deaths.
So a bit more than 2 months...
29 years, assuming we maintain 2024 school shooting levels. I propose that we just skip the schoolchildren shootings altogether, and just skip straight to French Revolution rates of aristocrat deaths. They unalived over 14,000 aristocrats over just a two year period.
Given demographics in the US today, those are rookie numbers. I think we could really show history how it ought to be done and bump that up to some really fast math.
The real unfortunate downside though was that 70% of the casualties during the reign of terror was worker/peasant class. Getting at those rich people meant they had to go through 700,000 human shields that the wealthy put in front of themselves. I figure our current wealthy elite wouldn't be reached until a far higher number of Americans perished.
There's a lot of fucking bootlicker assholes out there still.
They killed them. Unalived sounds stupid.
Ah ah, this is Lemmy.world
Agreed, fuck this Newspeak nonsense. People kill, die, fuck, shit, piss, go off half-cocked making asses of themselves, etc.
I'm all for censoring pejoratives that are inherently derogatory on the basis of sex, gender, nationality or racial characteristics, but I am deeply critical of shit like 'unaliving'. I am open to someone correcting this view, but it's something that started with large corporations afraid for their bottom line. IMO it has no place in the Fediverse.
steps off of soapbox, curious if the ban hammer cometh
Killed triggers the moderation and censorship tools more quickly. This way some idiot bootlicker has to "get offended" and manually report it, making it take longer for the admins to notice and take it down.
If your lemmy instance cares about that sort of language, please join a new one. The only instances I'm aware of that care about harsh language are .ml (censors bitch and some other curses) and .world (regularly deletes stuff celebrating the UHC CEO's murder).
Otherwise, this is lemmy, you aren't on some site that cares about looking friendly and soft for advertisers. Please don't bring that self censorship shit here.
Modern aristocrats are also much more mobile than their ancien regime counterparts.
On a completely unrelated note, I wonder how far the FOSSCAD community has come with developing surface to air missiles.
How many people got shot at school shootings, though?
Looks like 116 recorded school shooting related injuries this year so far. Hard to say how many of those were kids getting shot though
Who said anything about the US? Why not use world numbers?
He is not talking about school related deaths but about deaths of school children, so everyone who is still a school age.
