> people will be shot

> “I’ll happily provide video commentary”

And your knee-jerk response is to defend other parts of his statement? It’s a perfect example of leftism amok because it’s a common one I’ve increasingly heard over the past few years about the indifference or glee to rich people dying.

We can easily flip this into a right-wing statement and it will be highly disapproved of.

“Right wing nationalists will think your statements excuse leftist tendencies towards violence, and shoot your for this in an uprising. I’ll happily provide commentary.”




No my knee reaction is not to have a knee jerk reaction.

Turnabout, sure, let's look at it. Your version of the statement hits me the same way as the original.

Kudos for that, btw. It's a really good equivalent statement.
