It is worth noting that God advocated violence in the Bible, so God would be banned from SaidIt for posting similar content. SaidIt is not a truly free speech platform, but nothing better currently exists.

The problem with "advocating violence", at least for us mere mortals, is that we end up closing the door to peaceful options and at that point there is no turning back. I am also reminded of places like Kazikstan which really did seem have grounds for taking their country back by force but that weren't forward thinking enough to consider what Putin would do.

So if SaidIt had been available at the time, advocating for the American Revolution would have been prohibited. Do you think this is a good thing? I personally believe in free speech where all points of view can be discussed.

Without talks in good faith from both sides, de-escalation is impossible? Well at least very improbable. The interesting thing is that was never allowed to happen. One wonders why.
