Rest at ease, friend, you've landed on free parking. Do what you like but be kind otherwise, straight to jail.

Its obvious to me, the community was fine with it. Yes there was one annoyed dude demanding censorship.

Also, if I annoyed you by bringing up the death of my brother, good. Good.

Eh make your own community or hell even whole instance with like blackjack and politics then? These guys had established rules for theirs specifically forbidding politics.

You're walking into a Wendy's and outraged they're not serving funnel cakes.

They're saying in actually a very nice way "Sir, we like funnel cakes too but this is a Wendy's and we don't serve funnel cake here"

I don't get where the indignation is coming from.

Here's an actual on-topic showerthought:
"Blackjack and hookers" and "Blackjack and politics" are more or less synonymous considering how politicians are often for hire/rent/sale.

I have to be indignant. Alex was fuckkng murdered. The only thing left is indignation.

Yeah, but you're indignant towards the wrong crowd here. If your boss fucks you over beating your wife isn't the solution.

The crowd that sees someone murdered in the streets and keeps on walking is exactly the right group to feel indignation toward.
