Why do you always want to play the apologist for right wing craziness like this or Alex Jones?
Just who were you talking to here? You posted right after Frink. Frink may be many things, but if you think he is an apologist for Alex Jones, you have to be drunk.
I was talking to Mrebo.
Also in response to Mrebo, I was obviously fucking joking. You have mentioned multiple times that I’m calling for violence and death and I think that’s absurd.
I mentioned it in that one post.
If you can’t tell that my “I’m usually against violence but I wish the state would execute everyone that believes in Qanon” was a literal call for action, then you have the situational awareness of a brick. You can say that it’s callous that I don’t value the lives of people dumb enough to believe in QAnon (and I don’t, and I won’t pretend that I’d shed any tears if they all keeled over tomorrow) but you can’t say that I’m calling violence. Not unless you’re okay with being totally dishonest. I know you throw in a line about how I’m hyperbolic, but your implication that my rhetoric will inspire people to violence is absurd. I have no following, and the political violence I’m in favor of isn’t even actually happening with any kind of regularity.
As you recognize I said you were being hyperbolic, and I didn’t initially respond to your post to express any concern about your post…because I know your way of expressing things.
I was implying that the kind of rhetoric you use, which is increasingly common on the left, can inspire and has inspired violent acts. I’d hope there’s not such a nutjob on this site who would somehow be motivated by your post. I suppose you would hope the same.
The kind of rhetoric we see on the left, excusing Antifa violence of any kind, or inspiring somebody like James Hodgkinson, does seem far more dangerous than a silly conspiracy theory that all the Democratic leaders are going behind bars soon.
And Antifa never killed anybody. Like I said earlier, the people using violence against Nazis aren’t automatically as bad as the Nazis. To claim that they are is a false equivalence.
I’m not trying to draw any equivalence. One doesn’t need to do that to recognize violence is bad.
