    The ‘left’ doesn’t worship politicians like gods. I would honestly be indifferent if 90% of the Democratic establishment got wiped out.

    The fact that they’re frothing at the mouth without any actual evidence of the shooters ideology is all you need to know about their intentions.

      Right? That guy needs to chill out. Charlie Kirk was worth no more, and probably even less, than any of the other hundreds of people that die any and every day from gun violence. People on the Right have literally just discovered what America is all about, I guess?

      lol

      Let them target Democratic leaders instead of trans people and Palestinian protestors, although they would do all 3.

      I would bet real money that this was done by the current administration… just like the bs attempt at shooting trump.

      Yeah, Nazis burned it and blamed the Jews Communists, then used it as an excuse to start rounding them up.

        They caught a guy, Lubbe. As far as i know it is not clear why he set the fire as the Nazis never had any evidence. There are 3 theories:

        • the Nazis ordered him to do it.
        • he was doing it as a communist
        • he just did it as vandalism/arsonism

        But we do know that they absolutely used it to crack down against the communists–

      Short answer: Yes

      But we live in a time where history is rewritten daily. Hitler was a socialist - bullshit for example.

        People were also conflating Hitler as a socialist then.

        The whole point of that was to discredit actual socialism. It wasn’t socialism to them, but a dog whistle for nationalism.

        It would have been more accurate to call that the National nationalist party.

          Hitler was a socialist… so as long you were wealthy, ayran, and loyal. Eveyone else got brutal totalitarism and capitalism while fed to a war machine to keep the lie going.

    I didn’t even realize the right new what stochastic terrorism was. If they did I assumed they wouldn’t talk about it considering how often they engage in it

      I didn’t even realize the right new what stochastic terrorism was.

      Obviously considering the context, they don’t. An assassination isn’t stochastic terrorism, and nobody on the left is calling for violence. That’s them. So the accusation is a confession in this case. This post is literally stochastic terrorism, and a call for violence.

      Those J6 “rioters” were some dumb motherfuckers. Too bad they got a gift of little to no punishment. In fact, I think the shooter was one of them, that was let out by Trump (not really, but that’d be something). Soft on crime, hard on minorities Trump.

      Guns are the great equalizer. You don’t even need great aim if you’re shooting into a crowd.

    You know my high ass thought of something.

    There’s a loneliness epidemic and at the same time the biggest spread of hatred I have ever seen in my lifetime.

    A bunch of men feel sad, alone, and hatred. That makes me sad.

    All while being conned by the billionaire class.

    Classic abusive “look at what you made me do!” rhetoric.

    I also think that wanting to kill half the population is a bit of an overreaction. Especially so, since they’re already ahead in the kill count.
