No twisting on my part, and for the third, fourth time? I agree on calling out bad behavior. My point is specifically about the specific terminology being endorsed and why it is a bad thing to be accustomed to given examples I have already cited.

You’ve completely lost the plot of my points, willfully misinterpreted what people colloquially know to be meant as “the little guy” in order to make this about something other than my valid concerns. Take care.

You gave an example of a threat. We’re talking about encouraging violence from others. All communication is intended to be persuasive. You’re arguing semantics in favor of the option that is maximally punative to the little guy. Find an even stronger term to oppose what Kirk stood for, call it evil, call it deserving of violence even, but don’t accept this stochastic terrorism phrase. It is already being used against people with no power by the powerful.

Lol, not at all, and we already noticed this thing for decades and used words and phrases to call it out, this isn’t new by any means. You should rightfully call it out. What’s new is attaching the word “terrorism” to it and an effort to get people to accept that definition. That has massive legal ramifications. People trying to keep the Dakota Access Pipeline (which has leaked and poisoned the land several times now) from being run through native land, could tell you the ramifications of being labeled an “eco-terrorist”, or the people protesting Cop City being built near Atlanta could tell you about being pursued by the government criminally as “domestic terrorists” .

Being concerned about government overreach, you’re right, I was out of my mind there, what was I thinking.

Complete and utter nonsense propaganda. This term is an invention of the state to facilitate censorship. At this very moment Trump and his regime, and the powers behind them , are working to get people banned off all social media permanently, arrested, and/or deported for saying hateful things about the Kirk death or things they feel contributed to the environment enabling the death, using THIS EXACT LINE OF REASONING.

Remember, the moment you accept words are violence, the ruling party will determine any words they don’t like are violence, and you will be oppressed. The Biden regime tried it too. Everyone has their pet cultural issues they want to see protected, but the grass roots leftists, get censored by both the big parties, so in general any victory for censorship will be a defeat for democracy and transparency.

If you push for the government or businesses to control speech, that same power will be used against you, if not by the current regime, then the next one. Freedoms once given up are incredibly hard to get back.

The German government is one of the most suppressive in the western world in regards to protests against a literal genocide happening right now in Gaza. A genocide legally labeled as such by institutions erected as a result of Germany’s genocide. Branding wise, Germany is extremely progressive, but in principle and practice, it is extremely sad to see how little Germany has come along.

Thanks for the reply! So you’re not a fan more for who he’s willing to talk to or “platform” as I’m hearing? Or is cozying mean advocating for fascist policies too?

Hi, I’m new to politics and looking for people to follow or avoid. Can you please elaborate on a view that Greenwald espouses which is repugnant or a deceptive mischaracterization he engages in? I would also be very appreciative if you could give me any trusted sources of news? All I know is MSNBC and Fox right now.
