This is an extremely misleading representation of what his text said. Shame on you. Here's the rest:
> Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?
More people should do this kind of self-reflection.
You are the exact kind of Liar (yes, it deserves a big L) that Tucker was talking about in his tweet the other day when he said the media was full of lies:

- JohnMakin 3y agoOh yes, that makes it much better.
- web3-is-a-scam 3y agoYes, it actually does. You've never had intrusive thoughts or been caught up in mob/tribalisitc mentality?
- JohnMakin 3y agoThe excerpt you quoted makes it worse. In it, he acknowledges that he has absolutely no empathy for the person being beaten. Yea, great clarification! thanks! And no, I have not fantasized about a mob beating a person to death.
- unethical_ban 3y agoNo, it doesn't make it worse. I loathe Tucker and am joyous to see him fall. He is a disgraceful human. BUT, for him to say "I had this thought, and I don't like it. Even though I don't like a person, I realize I shouldn't wish him to be harmed because that kind of thinking is toxic" shows self reflection and a desire to not be the bitter death-wishing brand of human.

- web3-is-a-scam 3y ago> I have not fantasized about a mob beating a person to death. That wasn't my question, nice try. You've never had an intrusive thought that made you uncomfortable, ever?
- sp332 3y agoIt doesn't improve the racism, which ostensibly is what got him fired. But beyond that, he went right back to his job riling up mobs, so it's a bit empty.
- mrguyorama 3y ago>if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is? His "self reflection" is an attempt to feel self righteous and better than the stranger getting beaten for political reasons that he does not know.
- web3-is-a-scam 3y agoPeople that reject the use of political violence are better than those that don't and I'm not going to pretend they aren't.
- kgwxd 3y agoPeople that say they reject the use of political violence, yet continue to encourage it on national television and anywhere else they can, are worse than those that don't and I'm not going to pretend they aren't.
- web3-is-a-scam 3y agoIf you're going to claim he did this you really should back it up with a source.
- kgwxd 3y agoI have, but I don't then proceed to fill multiple sentences with how much I still baselessly hate said person while also trying to make myself look like a saint for thinking something that should have been obvious to anyone beyond toddler years and well before having witnessed it first-hand. I also don't then proceed to host a TV show pushing to get that exact response out of the audience.
- d23 3y agoThese are the thoughts of an utter sociopath. He's a skilled propagandist trying to dress up his racism and psychopathy and put it in a more presentable package.
- angst_ridden 3y agoIt wasn't his hating on the victim that got him fired. It was his stating that the raging mob was not behaving appropriately for his race-based expectations of them.
- web3-is-a-scam 3y agoIt's much more likely that he got fired because of the Dominion lawsuit from his election fraud claims.
