I’m on lemmy.ml but as I’m French, I was reading this comment and was surprised to see removed instead of the french word for “late”.

Is there anything I can do on my end or is it a server setting and I should move to a French one?

      I don’t think a lot of people are using the “guillotine landlords” imagery ironically.

          I personally believe so, at least. I guess whether the murder can be justified or not is a separate question.

          I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they’ve been deemed to deserve it.

          For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.

            Specifically, it’s when it’s sanctioned through the legal system (as opposed to murders, including state-sanctioned but extra-judicial killings)

            So I think executions are not murder by definition

      Literally anytime CEOs, billionaires, or landlords come up. And not like euphemistic “eat the rich” type statements, tankie shit about literally murdering landowners (but also about how Tianemen Square was ok/just US propaganda, Russia has a right to Ukraine, and the CCP is truly progressive and respects human rights).
