  • Oh, I’m in the USA, and people here can just willy-nilly shoot people, and you’d get away with it most of the time. (unless the person you shot is a cop, in which case you’re fucked, even if you genuinely thought they were a home invader)

    Edit: Well it also depends on if the landlord was an individual “mom&pop” landlord, or someone with like 100 units. If its one of the “richer” landlords, I could see there being more investigations into the shooting. A shooting of those “poorer” landlords would just get swept under the rug. But I don’t know why someone with 100+ units would be managing properties by themselves, so the tenant in this hypothetical situation would almost be guaranteed to walk free, since the landlord would almost be guaranteed to be not “rich enough” to warrant the attention of the authorities.















  • Most democratic countries have “rule of law” (its getting eroded in the US, but still…), and people have the expectation of the government not censoring things. Besides, VPN and Tor can bypass restrictions, so its a futile attempt with a huge backlash, and if VPN and Tor are banned too, I’m pretty sure there are people, both left of center and right of center are not gonna be happy about that. Magats might not care about “leftist” sites being banned, but they’ll start worrying if they are next, and once you do a VPN and Tor ban too, oh I’m sure they’ll be throwing a fit like those anti-mask protests, this time with with both left and right wing people in unity. Yea, maybe its not a good idea to get people united across the spectrum.

    Like, many democratic countries (particularly, western democratic countries) can’t even get people to wear masks, or vaccinate, or even just stay at home, even when its a reasonable thing to do. Internet censorship is gonna cause riots, this time, with not just right-wing nut jobs, but people across the political spectrum.
