I was just sitting here thinking about how the only way to stop poo poo like this is essentially censorship. You have to stop this stuff from getting put on blast because it’s dangerous. You can recall him but he’s already put this poo poo out there so the damage is done.

That sure is a can of worms though.

Making it illegal to yell "fire" in a theatre or "bomb" on an airplane is censorship. Censorship is necessary for certain situations, because people can be dangerous or straight up evil.

Saying "we should have a coup" or "we should kill/genocide group A" should be handled in the same manner. It's blatantly dangerous speech that is contrary to the entire point of having otherwise free-speech laws. Free-speech is supposed to allow people to defend their personal beliefs and policies, but beliefs and ideas which are inherently violent must be excluded or else, well, all this keeps happening.

So yeah, jail all the seditionists. It's actually the only answer, there's no fine that will stop them, they have to be shut up by enforcement of laws.
