This is like telling black people during Jim Crow to not make a fuss because you want it for their sake so that they don't join the obnoxiousness of the rest of the country including the "loud and obnoxious civil rights movement" around them.

Things I've never said for $400 please, Alex.

And making fun of the death of someone whose harm exceeds that of criminals and who would be a criminal in another country isn't morally wrong.

Yet when I asked you if Barack Obama was fair game to be mocked and scorned after his death for his drone campaign in Iraq - something that caused more death and destruction to innocent civilians than the most prolific serial killers in history - you balked because "he's a politician".

Your stance on this is wildly inconsistent.

You've proved that Charlie Kirk supported partisan violence, which is not in dispute.

I asked you for proof that he ordered it. I chose that word for a reason.

As I've already said, the message that hate advocates and extremists like Kirk need as much disdain as possible rather than treating them as just another commentator which is what's gotten the far right their power.

So the people who currently follow Kirk - and there are a lot of them - are going to hear your insults and realize they've been duped and they're following an extremist? That's the angle you're going with?

I'm torn between questioning whether you've actually thought two minutes into this plan or thinking you're just lying to yourself because you want to be able to insult people you don't like without consequence, presumably because you want to make MAGA as angry as they've made you.

Nobody's switching sides from the left wing showing decorum and giving impotent "this shouldn't have happened but..." either.

This is objectively not true.

Biden won 2020 on the back of disaffected soft-Republican voters who were sick of Trump's bullshit. Kamala infamously made a point of highlighting all the former career Republicans who were backing her because they recognized Trump for the menace he is.

I've yet to hear a single person say, "I used to be a Republican, but then I heard someone online post a funny photoshop of Steve Scalise getting shot and I changed my voter registration the same day."

This is the typical projection from right wing types. The one purity testing is YOU. "Make fun of a dead Nazi? That makes you a Nazi yourself!" That's your whole argument.

Let's go with things I've never said for $600, Alex.

Unlike you, I've not mischaracterized those who disagree with me in this topic. I've never called you, nor anyone else who doesn't agree with me, a right-winger, never mind straight up labelling you a Nazi. I've not suggested that you're arguing in bad faith, because I don't believe that you are. I *have* pointed out that you're advocating for doing the exact same childish sociopathic bullshit that Trumpers do, but that's not the same thing.

But apparently I can't expect that same level of discernment or respect from you. Probably shouldn't be surprised, given what you're arguing in favour of. Anyways, since you've been reduced to flailing and posting other people's pithy zingers from a website owned by an actual Sieg Heiling Nazi, I see no reason to continue this any further. Feel free to make a response if you really want to get the last word in, but I'm not going to be responding to any more of your posts absent a good reason.
