I wonder what percent is sincere mental illness and what percent is sock puppets. My guess is the majority of direct clamoring for violent action is the latter hoping to incite and embolden the former. Not that the passive audience that doesn't speak up to call out the disordered thought is blameless though. I don't believe censorship is the answer here. Herd animals shouldn't be afraid of upsetting the hive mind and eating some negative internet points in the name of contributing sanity.

As someone who has attempted to bring reason to that site in the past. It's an uphill, endless and thankless battle.
After awhile it drains you and most just walk away.

With the way people on Voat talk, I'm surprised no one has done this sooner.
