People on this forum applauded Charlie Kirk’s murder too. Unfortunately theres a number of people here who believe it’s okay to murder instead of argue with words. Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent
- ath3nd 6mo agoPeople on this forum often confuse not crying for the death of an evil racist white supremacist fascist with applauding their death. > Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent Agreed, just look how the US handled Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and now Venezuela and Iran.

- mindslight 6mo agoIndeed. I've seen much more outright support for the murders of Pretti, Good, and Taylor than people "applauding" Kirk's murder. Never mind the recent support for the mass murder of Iranians ("bomb them back to the stone age" etc). Unfortunately those incompetents who take refuge in violence are now in charge of our society.
- mindslight 6mo ago(I suppose I'm getting the reply-less downvotes from people's cognitive dissonance getting triggered. Just because it's possible to frame a murder as being legally justified, does not absolve you of the fact that by adopting this justification you're still supporting a murder. In fact I'd point out that the most horrific atrocities in human history have been legally justified. Randomly-directed violence doesn't really scale up, whereas organized violence does)

- mindslight 6mo agoI intentionally repeated the same word for consistency, and that was the word used by GP's comment. If you don't like the word, then feel free to mentally replace it with something else, perhaps "killing". Especially if that can help you engage with the substance of an argument.
