Is this a parody or do you actually have nouns like names that you can use?

  I think it's safe to say that Reinoehl has been banned from Twitter.

    But what about the people who incited him? Clearly individuals are not responsible for their own actions. The responsibility lies with people who say things on social media.

      I'm not sure it follows from some people were incited to all individual actions are the result of incitement.

        On one side you have people telling one group that there is a vast systemic conspiracy to exclude them from economic opportunity and murder them with impunity. On the other side you have people telling another group that there is a vast systemic conspiracy to politically disenfranchise them and exclude them from the public sphere. Both groups predictably view this as an existential threat and resort to violence. One is excused and even praised.

      Don't worry, we're prosecuting both the insurrectionists as well as attempting to punish those who are engaged in felony sedition. You're not even trying to create an equivalency here. Show me the non-deleted tweet that said "hey, BLM protestor, bring a gun and shoot this guy".

        Are you serious? People are writing entire books called "In Defense of Looting" and they receive no criticism, just fawning articles in the media[1]. No publisher employees are threatening to walk out over it either. And for the record I support this author's right to speak her mind as well. It's just obvious that some speech is more free than others.

CNN had reporters stand in front of burning buildings and tell us protests were "mostly peaceful". I guess we could say Trump's administration had mostly no mobs of insurrectionists storming the Capitol.
