The guy who beat a police officer with a baseball bat on Jan 6 and is only out of prison because Trump loves to pardon criminals?

You’re either against political violence or for it. You can’t claim to support political violence against bad people, and still claim to be against political violence.

It’s a yikyak post endorsing an actual attack that was upvoted by over 200 people.

I’m not denying that the right has a political violence problem, but it’s pretty clear that political violence is widely supported on the left. It’s hard to argue that political violence is exclusively a republican problem when polls consistently show higher support for political violence from the left.

ok so looking at opinions on justifiable violence vs actually committing the violence

yea i'm aware, it wasn't ok. personally i relished in the irony of it and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. but again, there's a difference between having that opinion and actually going out and killing people. let's not forget which party is allowing masks individuals to murder people on the streets and relishing in that.

Incentivizing violence is what leads to violence. Violence isn’t only the physical act. When someone encourages, rewards, justifies, or glorifies harm, they’re helping cause it.

ok, so what about everyone on the right encouraging hate and violence against; immigrants, people of color, trans people or lgbt in general, etc?

I don’t support that either. People on both sides constantly incentivize violence against each other, and it’s honestly disturbing. As a society we’ve lost a lot of our humanity and now too many people think the way to push ideas is through intimidation or violence instead of dialogue.

Honestly, we’ve lost the meaning of what debate is supposed to be. Debate should be normal dialogue where we actually listen to opposing viewpoints, try to understand them, and present evidence on both sides to move toward some kind of middle ground. Instead, people just criticize and degrade others simply because their opinions don’t align with theirs. When people stop trying to understand the opposing viewpoint, debate turns into tribalism and performance instead of coming up with solutions.

i totally agree with you. i think where many people on the left find issue is the fact that many current topics of debate between the two sides shouldn't be debatable. human rights shouldn't be debatable and when people act like they are then it causes anger (rightfully so). when one side is actively attempting to oppress basically any group that is difference from them, what response is there?

i'm sorry but i will not (and genuinely cannot) try to understand why maga, and many on the right, have absolutely no empathy for anyone other than themselves

I get what you are saying about frustration when one side is actively oppressing others. I think the most effective response is not always debating people who will not acknowledge your point. It is better to work through legal and organized channels to create change. Petitioning, protesting, contacting local representatives, and building community support are all ways to push for progress without getting stuck arguing with someone unwilling to engage

oh it's definitely pointless to argue with people on yikyak lol. i think the question is, what happens when doing things peacefully doesn't work? as seen in history, humanity hasn't really organized its power by peacefully debating. often the people in power are willing to resort to violence very quickly, we're seeing it in the US now. violence shouldn't be the answer but at some point we have to question whether we can achieve what we need to without it.

that's not something i'm happy about either, i'm extremely anti-violence but it's hard to stick to morals when you're watching those same morals being ignored by the other side
