Like I said yesterday in a topic on CE:

It's kind of crazy for him to just call it quits like that, but he's probably made a fortune at this point and doesn't need the stress of getting death threats from violent lunatics. So even though I disliked the franchise and wanted to see it go, it's bullshit for it to happen like this.

But to expand on it, this is the culmination of things I've been warning about for around twenty years now. At one point, you'd use this kind of reaction to fringe activities. However, as radicals realized that this could be effectively employed as a tactic against the mainstream as well, it's increasingly been used in ways that had once been unthinkable. And it's emblematic of a larger trend against the very tenets of democracy where rather than try to convince people of their arguments, the far-left is focused on not letting arguments take place at all. And this isn't some special, one-off case. For years now, this has become the norm, with social media being used to direct people to attack donors. Bear in mind that these behaviors are the same thing we criticize when we see them happen in other nations.

What we're looking at is the death of democracy which, on the far-left, is being greeted with thunderous applause.
