Then it’s a good thing you’re not in charge of risk assessment, because the potential loss of life from a failing rocket crashing into the ocean pales in comparison to the loss of life caused by the right-wing shift that Twitter has facilitated, both worldwide and particularly in the USA
How do you control the course of a failing rocket?
Are you claiming such misdesign is impossible?
The fact remains that unlike with words, a physical potential of death & injury exists in what is technically a missile of significant weight carrying enough explosive substance to escape orbit.
The difference between non-0 and 0 possibility of death/injury.
Unless magic exists, words are incapable.
Do you claim magic exists?
How do mere words cause death without the personal responsibility of something else culpably choosing to take several steps of its own?
Or are you arguing the sight of words have deranged you into a mindless killer?
If so, maybe you’re the real threat.
Seems like you’re arguing society is dangerous to life: I agree.
That’s not a valid argument against words, though.
physics too hard: nonphysical things can’t kill? preposterous
Basically.
Pretending the harm of something physical going wrong (potential to cause real death) is at all comparable to the nonphysical going wrong (a jumble of angry words) is unreal.
Lemmy confirms the premise that this discourse & the people spouting it are broken & senseless.
The distinction between physical & nonphysical is lost on these loonies.
Don’t know, man: kinda think the potential loss of life from a failing rocket crashing into people matters somewhat more than words. Maybe?

Again, total lack of perspective & sense.
this comment is preposterous.
