    I am quite conflicted. On the one hand this is extraordinarily bad for American democracy, but there is a feeling in me that said democracy farce at this point.

    I also believe that this will justify further violence from the right towards lgbt/left/immigrants etc. But would that happen anyway?

      Political violence is a symptom, not a cause

      We were already here. Lawmakers have already been killed. Just, no one took it seriously because the Democrats miss every moment

      And yes, they were already invading Chicago. They were already calling to arrest political opponents. They were going to do it all anyways

      I wouldn’t say it’s bad for democracy. If anything, it reveals how damaged democracy already is in the US. At face value this isn’t any worse than students being murdered in school shootings or (democrat) politicians being murdered. Don’t get me wrong, that’s all terrible but reacting only to this event reveals that the MAGAs were only waiting for any excuse to do whatever they’re going to do now.

    Don’t be violent against people you disagree with politically. That’s not going to help anything, that’s only going to validate what they’ve been saying all this time

      If people are violent against you, you have the right to defend yourself. That guy constantly advocated for violence against trans people, among many other groups.

      Why a trans person have to sit and wait to be beaten up to death for some guy indoctrinated by this guy? They may chose their own life over the ones that are on a path to killing them.

      “Disagree with politically” is a wide brush: they are nazis and fascists. Killing one of them causes a crackdown on political opponents, killing them all doesn’t. Paradox of tolerance and all that stuff.

        Disagree with politically: should we build nuclear, do we pedestrianise the highstreet, how much funding should we give to public artwork

        Fascist: oppressing or refusing the right to exist of groups of people, typically minorities. Often heard calling them rats or cockroaches which some of them have been doing this week.

      He just lived in the society he advocated for. He literally believed a shooting now and then was worth the right for everyone to have guns.

      You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. But I am, I, I — I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

      Those are his own words from 2023.

      Just because it happened to him doesn’t mean it wasn’t what he wanted. For all we know, he died blissfully knowing he received a God-given bullet.

      So when people you disagree with politically, are kidnapping your loved ones, beating you up, killing people like you around you, you should… say: “I don’t like that…” or…

      If violence is used against you, you have a right to defend you with violence.

      I’m sorry to say, but violent people don’t care about you yelling “boo”… They just turn their attention against you, and use violence to silence you.

      It’s very impressive, that the violent people has brainwashed you to such a degree, that you let them be violent, and are willing to protect them from violence in response.

          Yeah, we all know the nazis only became fascists the day they killed their first victims. All those nazi propagandists and theorists were actually blameless because they didn’t personally assault anyone publicly, which is famously the only form of violence.

          People I like aren’t billionaires and billionaires aren’t people. They’re what’s wrong with humanity at this point in time. If there’s a better way of getting rid of them, I’m all for it. But I’m not seeing any billionaires put to jail…
