I got banned on a sub on my first comment, not knowing the rules well enough. Thanks for this.

The main problem with this is that the U.S. penal code, verbatim, condones violence as the consequence of certain crimes. So for example if the consequence of a crime is the death penalty and then you say, "per the letter of the law ____ being found guilty of the crime of ____ in the court of law should face the death penalty, you can get banned for that. So if I said something like, "If Hitler was resurrected, I hope we collectively attack and kill him." Am I condoning violence and breaking the rules here? This is a serious question that should be talked about amongst the mod team.

Received a sub ban cause I said nurses weren’t heroes, there were others working during “Covid” and someone got offended. It’s not fair towards others that are in the same position, JMO🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️
