I agree! But on Bluesky left-wing threats of political violence are rampant, while right-wing ones get quickly shouted down and reported. Other sites have other problems.
Let's be honest, there shouldn't be threats of political violence from anyone, regardless of their views. It's not how you behave in a civilised society.

Compare the abuse that Singal’s detractors are directing at him with the stuff that he actually posts and publishes. The notion that he’s the “bully” in this situation is insane.
You’re right that it isn’t a hard call, but you got it wrong.

Brazil has responded more seriously to a former president attempting an auto-coup to illegally retain power after losing reelection, and to online disinformation that helped fuel it. The example puts the US to shame.
Maybe something to do with dictatorship in living memory, and thinking never again.

This is the mentality that is addicted to alienating ever larger swaths of the country, including growing numbers of non-whites. Politically not effective.
Here's an idea. It's the same reason why "the country" decimated the continent's natives, enslaved Africans, still worships many of the slavers, barely became a fledgling democracy in 1965, and still prioritizes the needs of one demographic. Maybe that demographic just wants to keep its advantage?
Ok, cool. No room for introspection as to why the country was more repelled by progressives than by a kleptocratic authoritarian
