minus-squareCleoTheWizard@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 hours agoDoesn’t a threat have to be credible? As in you can make a threat if you’d like to but it has to actually be a legitimate threat. This isn’t that. Realistically unless someone says this phrase and has google searches of the CEOs home address, this isn’t a credible threat at all.
