I came across a post on Reddit showing Mussolini at the end of his career, specifically him hanged from his ankles in the Piazzale Loreto. I left a comment, “we didn’t get the chance to do this with Hitler, but we should make this traditional.” Yes, not the most benign comment, but far “threatening violence or physical harm,” at least I think so. A bot must have come across that and thought “beep boop,” because suddenly my account was permanently banned. It’s honestly insulting that a human took no part in this process.

    Can you name a single person who is threatened by a democratically decided punishment for organizing genocide.

    At worst its a statement in support of using systematic violence as a punishment for crimes against humanity. But discussion isn’t a threat.

    Saying: “Everyone who think x, must be killed” is a threat to violence.

    Hitler did not just think racist things. He was not only expressing himself or identifying as a Nazi. He was unmistakable guilty of organizing a genocide.

    There are many self identifying nazis today but there is no demographic of people who belong to the specific group that fits actual Hitler and actual mussolini.

    I can think of a handful alive today that are heading that way but even if those empires broke down tomorow they would not have committed enough evil to qualify.

      If I understand your question correctly: Radovan Karadžić
