it was the performance of a guy "owning libs". It is not much of an honest debate if the guy enters it with a set of pre-packaged ideas that never get updated.

- akimbostrawman 1y agoOh well if he was a [political buzzword] i guess that changes everything and he actually deserves being shot for opening his mouth.
- password54321 1y agoNice strawman.
- akimbostrawman 1y agoThanks but you i can only credit you.
- bigyabai 1y agoTheir comment wasn't a strawman. The "event" in question was a political rally, not a moderated debate. He was there to promote his platform, anything else he did was part of the performance.
- jalapenos 1y agoThat's actually how you feel though right

- alickz 1y agoI don't think you should be killed for performances either If you/society see the performance as beyond the pale, inciting violence then you should arrest the person and give them due process, or change the laws to reflect your beliefs
- bigyabai 1y agoI agree. How do we stop this from happening? You seem to implicate "you/society" as the issue, but I didn't shoot anyone. So really it's society's issue, and we're in this situation because the Overton window is so irrevocably wide. Moreso than ever before, our bipartisan system is chock-full of extremists. People who want to kill CEOs, people who want to kill politicians, people who want to kill minorities. The ordinary response is always "well, some gun violence is tolerable" but that doesn't seem to be reflected at all in this comment section. Many people are treating this as entirely unacceptable - so, from square one, how do we want to legislate a solution?
