I don't have much new to add to the getting fired for tweets conversation, but you can remain in media or politics in good standing and advocate for as much violence and pain as you want as long as you do so politely and aren't saying you'll directly deliver it personally.
"Invading Iraq is the right thing to do" will never get you fired, but saying "I'm going to come kick your ass" to one specific person will. "We need to reopen the economy" despite the massive loss of life that would result is fine while "I hope your parents die" is not.
The whole thing is a stupid game, like when kids annoy their siblings with "i'm not touching you" and they're poking them with a stick. The idea that as long as there's a buffer in between when you support ie deadly austerity measures you're technically not calling for violence.
Almost every single utterance from a republican (and plenty from democrats) about their intended policy is an attempt to set violence against real people into motion by someone else's hands. It's weird we all know this but it's so obvious we just kind of let it pass.
technically denying life saving and needed money to people during a pandemic isn't killing them in the same way that shooting them would be, it's just inserting the ball into the rube goldberg machine of pain that provides plausible distance between cause and effect.
Anyway the point is
Is it ok for me to piss in these monsters’ fucking food yet?
