Standing on a podium shouting "A,B and C should die!" to your audience should be a crime, and luckily is in many countries.

There are legal crimes, and then there are social faux pas that gets one convicted in the court of public opinion.

Wearing white shoes in October is a faux pas. Putting lemon and milk in your tea is a faux pas. Wishing your political opponents death is a threat.

>Garry Tan is already doing the "thoughtful criticism" https://growsf.org/

The act of providing "thoughtful criticism" doesn't make it OK to tell people you wish them dead.

>Ranting on Twitter should not be a crime IMO

I don't really see anyone saying that it should be. People are welcome to rant on Twitter, just as people are welcome to take issue with said rant, and then form an opinion of that person based on the words they chose to post.

Yes, he is in politics. His rant is more in line with today’s politicial speech than that PR website.
