Some dude tracked a lady down because she made bad comments on Facebook ("The shooter should have been a better shot"). He got her on camera at Home Depot, her job, and now she's fired. If you're trying to get some nobody fired, you're almost always the bad guy.

This image stays with me. It was August 2020, a crowd (mostly white) was marching in support of BLM. They demanded that everyone at an open-air restaurant raise their fists. This one woman refused. If you think their behavior was good and decent, we are in deep disagreement. 1/

Murdering an insurance executive is evil. Trying to assassinate President Trump is evil. Trying to burn Governor Shapiro and his family is evil. We must all agree on these basic moral values.

"You need to think of me as your momma. Do not talk to me in that fashion." This after the young man has been speaking in polite, courteous tones. He was just saying stuff she didn't like. Brave kid, challenging progressive conventional wisdom this way.

This ideology is on the way out. It's still widely believed and entrenched in many institutions, but its intellectual vacuousness is being exposed every day for all to see. They have no coherent argument, just snark and sanctimony. We've had enough.

Replying to @SwannMarcus89
The same reason some of us watch horror movies and get freaked out. We’re not actually going to be chopped up by a ghoul with pencil-sharpeners for teeth, but in the moment we identify with the victim and cringe on her behalf.

Still disgusted by how Arwen groomed Aragorn.

Chekhov once wrote that there are only three stories in great literature 1. A stranger comes to visit. 2. A man goes on a journey. 3. Will Stancil vs. MechaHitler.

It was a big story, but nothing changed.

If a random white person simply walked up to and stabbed a nice law-abiding black person for no reason, it would be an apocalyptically huge national story used to impose sweeping political changes on the whole country.

Really weird framing. Is The Economist saying that everything will be ok once girls outperform boys in everything? H/t @esanzi

He needs to be convicted in a court of law, because we are a nation ruled by laws, not the roar of the mob.

"Tactical error"? The assassination was (probably) carried out by a 22-year-old loser with no ties to any organization. He just felt mad and acted on his grudge. There was no strategic thinking behind his pulling the trigger. This was not some left-wing plan gone awry!

What a tactical error it was to kill this guy and transform him into a martyr if you were against him. Historical blunder.
