Is an in implicit threat of self-defense an improper response to your all but explicit threat of mass physical violence? Coming from the side that throughout this campaign and after has been engaging in mass physical violence? If you want edgy, [censored by dang], but search way way back in my comment history if you insist.

All we've done is ask you not to use Hacker News to engage in political and ideological warfare, which is not what the site is for, and which we have to ask you again to please stop! The fact that this thread is not up to the standards of civility doesn't give us permission to make it worse.

  In other words, self-defense is doubleplusungood, in the discussions or in real life. Got it.

>Coming from the side that throughout this campaign and after has been engaging in mass physical violence? I'm really gonna need to see some sources on this, since the white-supremacist hate crimes and police violence against the working class have been the primary source of violence I've heard about this year.

  since the white-supremacist hate crimes and police violence against the working class have been the primary source of violence I've heard about this year. Ah, I was unclear, by "side" I meant more partisan sides, specifically the Clinton machine as discovered by Project Veritas, and I'm hearing WRT to the post-election riots, the Soros machine, which has certainly been funding BLM, and if not the current rioters, it's clear they're partisan in a way your examples are not. And definitely not something as general as "police violence", which is along a different axis anyway, e.g. both the Democrats and Trump lay claim to the working class and they put the latter over the top in this election, and the police certainly didn't e.g. determine Eric Garner's political affiliations before murdering him (and I can supply plenty of less publicized white victims if desired).
