Would it be OK with the membership here on lemmygrad if yours truly makes a Battle Sub showing similar videos and news of the SMO?

    I think the distinction should be the audience, on reddit, the cruelty is the point though I do think the mods should be ready to pull the lever at the first instance of the sub becoming anything like reddit. With that said, I personally hate this and am probably gonna be blocking this sub from my feed

      I don’t think the cruelty can be removed from viewing violence as a casual spectacle, if that makes sense. I don’t think you can casually watch horrific violence as entertainment and still keep your humanity.

        That’s not fair - as one that was a career soldier that has experienced death and war, I’ve still got “humanity”, whatever that means. Same could be said of poor folk living in a world of violence, or paramedics, and police officers. If anything many of us having experienced such tend to want less violence. Which is why I’m so against my country being involved in this forever war BS for the sake of the oligarchs profiting of it, and the rest of us paying the price for their greed etc. The Military Industrial Congressional Complex in other words.

        Yeah, I guess, it doesn’t make sense for it to be on a site like lemmy if it’s for education or recording
