If you think someone deserves to die, then people are also allowed to think you deserve to die.
Yeah I literally don’t care if you think or even outright say I deserve to die. It’s literally not a speech issue. It’s about the implication that one plans to act on those things.
For example, when a fascist or an anticommunist liberal says “PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S should die for being an anarcho-communist”, it’s their right to say that and, in isolation, I wouldn’t care. And I basically never do act on these threats. The issue is that there is both a historical precedent and current practice of fascists and anticommunist liberals acting on their threats.
If one says to me “PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S’s kids deserve to die of cancer in a school shooting”… that has no teeth in reality. I have no kids, and even if I did, one can’t give them cancer, and the person would just be mentioning school shootings to be edgy. It’s just some asshole babbling on the Internet.
And for this reason, I actually do understand why billionaires crack down on anti-capitalist speech in practice: because it will strip of their power, and possibly their lives if they keep up their horseshit. I simply do not care about billionaires and their monstrous desires. From their perspective, the threat posed by anti-capitalists is real…but billionaires have brought it on themselves, and they can easily fix this by voluntarily surrendering their control, telling their militaries to back off, and giving control of the means of production to the workers.
Like yes, I absolutely do want to make the “nice” billionaires you mentioned no longer billionaires. If they’re really so “nice”, then violence should not need to be an option.
