Most people don’t have those thoughts in their head in the first place, and thus don’t have to control themselves from posting them at an emotional time.
Calling specific people to commit specific violent actions against specific targets is very much a crime. If it was just a vague “this thing was bad, I am sad” post, there wouldn’t have been a problem, even if one of her followers took it upon themselves to do something. But with her specifically saying exactly which buildings her followers should burn down, it’s a problem even if they don’t then do so.
With all that, I don’t know if your post was serious or sarcastic, so hopefully I’m not getting whooshed. But very much, this is not a role model. Her serving a short prison sentence for what she did will be a better behaviour model to her kids than her getting away with that would have been. And hopefully it will help her work towards being a role model in the future.
I was being sarcastic. I hope there is no one out there actually thinking those thoughts.
Was about to add Edit 3 where I worried about the “poor little white faces” of the kids she would have been minding but given how the rest of the joke has gone probably would have ended up being banned from lemmy.
Nobody knows who you are. And nobody can read the words the way they sound in your head. So if you type exactly what someone that is wrong would type, with no indication that you are doing so ironically, how exactly are people to know that -you- would never say that unironically. There are people that would, and their post would look the exact same.
But the whole thing is totally absurd. If she’s a criminal then she can’t be a role model, who her husband is should have no bearing on sentencing, inciting violence is obviously a crime…
Lemmy is also one of the most progressive popular forums in political terms. How often do you see genuine gammons in the comments here?
If you want to play a person that would get downvoted, without indicating that you are doing so, you are then not in a position to be upset that you got downvoted. Acting irrational and defending the indefensible is a normal thing to encounter on the internet, unironically.
Oh, I wasn’t like being mad or anything. I was just trying to explain what was happening. I’m autistic, so not only have I already learned all these lessons the hard way, but I’m very familiar with being misunderstood and having to make extra effort to explain my jokes.
Edit: And with the most common way of browsing lemmy, especially as a new user, being to have it set to /all, there are actually alot of instances of a random person showing up with a super unpopular hot take on something they don’t know about.
I think the chronology of me posting the “I didn’t think I needed an /s” thing made it look like a dig at you but I had not seen your initial comment or you hadn’t posted it when I hit send on that. Simple misunderstanding I think!
Edit: simple *mutual misunderstanding, I should say
Good.
Inciting violence is a crime?? Literally 1984
Edit: Couldn’t they have taken into account that her husband is a VIP and given her a lesser sentence?
Edit 2: Has anyone thought about the poor children who won’t be being minded by this role model??
They did give her a lesser sentence.

Didn’t think I needed to add a /s to this but here you go
For what it’s worth, I upvoted you.
You da man

I guess I just don’t take social media very seriously. Sorry for polluting your feed with shitposting.
Have a nice day!
