I don’t condone it but I’m not going to pretend like it’s bigger than the martyr. Most people don’t want war for obvious reasons, and it’s clear that the higher officials making posts did so out of emotional anger. If civil war was the common view, you wouldn’t see moderates looking rightward.
I’ve seen few even do that specifically. If we look at the actions, the widow gave her forgiveness, Antifa has been labeled a terrorist organization, and people are being cancelled by other people for celebrating or for condoning. Nothing destructive, other than the people destroying vigils and ruining murals.
Yeah nobody is going to agree with you on that because it’s just not true. You can have a victim complex all you want but you aren’t under attack and conservatives definitely aren’t under attack. It was a lone wolf acting on his own not with the support or sympathy from “the radical left” like you guys complain
It’s true because if the left wasn’t doing it Kirk wouldn’t have been shot. There’s literal compilations of stochastic terrorism by Piker, Destiny, incite of violence from democratic politicians and stuff of that caliber including the disingenuous from largely left-leaning media groups. You’re digging your head in the sand.
Nice reframing the question. I said the left media and influencers engaged in such ways that promoted their voter base to take violent acts. Take Hasan’s “hyperbole” comments about bleeding capitalists out in the streets, or Destiny’s comment about putting the fear in conservatives, or the countless democratic lawmakers talking about “civil war”. You have people running their mouth on news media, and we see the fruits with sep 10 and the thousands of voters supporting it.
And while there may not be riots, the very same day Kirk died a neo Nazi shot up a school. Before that, a neo Nazi shot a democratic lawmaker dead in their home. Before that, a transgender neonazi wrote “Jew gas” on the tip of the gun they’d later kill children with. Before that, a right wing loser shot a hole in Donald trumps ear.
Before that, a man in Buffalo drew swastikas on a gun he’d later shoot innocent people at a store with. Before that a man shot up a nightclub while citing Kirk as an influence. Before that, I’m not sure. There’s more I can just only remember so many of these at a time, and there’s like hundred to thousands of examples.
Yeah, I can substantiate that rhetoric from the right leads to violence from the right. That includes political violence as rhetoric is one of the biggest things we look at when investigating these people. Can you do the same for the left? I’m willing to condemn it if it’s happening.
Wow so 1/3 of the country is evil. You all say this stuff to random people who even have a slight lean towards policies they feel will help the country. You don’t ever talk you just diagnose people. Any kind of moral grandstanding tells me what I need to know about how valuable your judgement actually is.
why are you willing to dismiss when the right engages in behavior that is harmful or demonize certain groups and call its behavior that is on the fringe of the right, but not do the same thing for the left? You don’t know a majority of the left. It’s statistically impossible for you to. Why are you generalizing if that’s not something you’re okay with being applied to the right?
Who had more influence in the media? Or in Hollywood? Or in those places where regular people are accessed to the most? A politician is only as powerful as their ability to use these communications. Now it seems things have flipped, but for a decade it was Nazi this and Nazi that and now it’s conditioned people to reject any type of dialogue with each other the moment those artificial red flags go up
The right had more influence in the media. Fox ran the Tucker Carlson show which was one of the most watched TV shows of all time with a live host. Joe Rogan, Charlie Kirk massive internet personalities. Mark Zuckerberg publicly pushed conservative views on Facebook and Instagram. Elon Musk owns Twitter. All things that for the most part ran under the Biden admin.
I’m not generalizing the left. This just true that the political bias of social media, tele media, and other forms of communication aligned that way, and that’s what people were fed for over a decade. Doesn’t mean everything had some kind of messaging, but news and discussions of what is right wrong and evil were aligned that way.
When I say that I’m not talking about the voter base I’m talking about people with power over people, like in news media, politics, social media, and in places like colleges or universities. You forget that Fox (which I despise) is the only large mainstream red news channel, so it has to take the conglomerate of views from anyone red. CBS, ABC, CNN all these channels existed in majority.
Why not? social media worldwide has dominated multiple countries over a regular mainstream media like TV shows. Not only this social media is more accessible and more engaging to young voter bases and we saw that in the 2024 election. Quality of the impact should matter don’t you agree?
“They” ok Mr generalizer. It was only profound in 2016. And you need to use your brain and take into account the different amount of information people knew about a President, what they expected, what their core values are, and where their experiences led them. It’s only wrong to support a pdf if you support because of pdf. People can like one or two policies or combinations. You can’t just say everyone has the same reasoning. That’s the rhetoric I’m talking about here. Treating people like bots
You used a statistical percentage, you should have a source for that. It isn’t hard to find what I’m talking about, because it is literally everywhere. Why do people call others fascists or Nazis? Where does it come from, and it’s usually some kind of misinformation or conditioning. I don’t think one side is evil and the other good. I do think that when you prioritize shaming voters and dehumanizing voters rather than debunking their officials it becomes questionable on whether or not this is
You don’t have to accept mine, but the information is out there if you look for it. It’s not normal for a party to go after and smear the opposing party’s voters. Remember it’s calling regular people Nazis. My entire family is rep, though I disagree with them on things, and so is my extended family. Yet somehow they’re all Nazis and fascists and a problem according to media people, because apparently they know them better than I do. Pmo
Me or you saying it’s observed isn’t an objective statement, doesn’t mean there isn’t some truth. That’s for you or I to find out if we wanted to. You might find what I’m talking about or not, and then I’d be wrong. I’m just saying this is what I see, and I don’t think it’s as logically implausible as most of a voter base or extremely large movement being Nazis.
If that’s true, and his slandering was baseless it would be good for him to be debunked, but if you cancel him people will want to know what he said and not why he was wrong. Canceling was abused, like witch trials. Some people used it for personal gain or vengeance. Thats not a power we deserve to have.
It is true. He went to court over it and admitted it to be true in text messages during the hearing. you claimed that you were in generalizing, but then said most of a group did this thing. Then when I asked you what your proof is for that group doing that thing, you said observation. You are generalizing a group influencing millions based off of what you feel is true and what you’ve seen which you have to admit is not the totality of all left encouraging events.
Fuck I didn’t even finish the full quote. He also accuses all Democrat voters of “destroying the American dream” as well as being radical socialists who want to kill him. But yeah totally. You definitely think smearing a whole voting base is wrong, you’d never support anyone who did that, the democrats have to be stopped, etc etc
You do actually, by spending hours arguing the bad shit isn’t real and doesn’t exist you actually do sort of condone that bad shit. I mean unless youre trying to convince me youre so stupid you genuinely were unaware Trump antagonized the Democratic Party. Which is bullshit. You’re just a coward.
