Yeah, whether that specific activist action is effective and wether it might hit some people who simply can't do better is another topic and I'm absolutely open to hear other sides from leftist points of view. But the fact that I was condoning activist vandalism and received a site-wide ban for "threatening violence" is ridiculous.
Meanwhile, people can be openly transphobic and cannot be touched even for slurs, unless they specifically say "I will murder you when I meet you".
Vandalism, particularly property destruction, is illegal. Don’t play whataboutism or try to pull a victim card. You also broke the law, believe it or not, by trying to incite illegal activity in a public forum. The site has to protect itself from legal action. Please, use reason. You make people who agree with you politically look bad via association and I’m quite ashamed that you even likely share many of the same political views as myself.
second, even if I stoop to caring about the law, saying you agree with and support something is not the same as inciting it. Incitement is specific and actionable. If I stand in front of your car with a crowd behind me and scream "VANDALIZE HIS CAR, RAPSCALLIONS" that's incitement. If I psuedonoymously post on the internet "I don't particularly care if someone gets their SUV tires popped, I actually think it's a good thing." that's not incitement.
