Remember a few years back when we'd have a running gag of saying something violently over the top and adding "in Minecraft" to the end? Some dude on 4chan got arrested for doing that with death threats, and yet for years I've been hearing other people, guys with actual political power and platforms, muttering "politically" after way worse shit. It's a good thing whenever anyone acts on anything it's a false flag, it'd suck if they ever had to face any consequences.

Well yeah, when you have the power of the state on your side you can say or do whatever you want. If you're a random citizen, get fucked pleb.
