Yeaaah, this was quite the experience I have to say 🥸

But super glad to know people like you are around on the internet too!

No, you're right on that.

It's becoming clear that this article was a poor choice to represent the more measured left-leaning view I meant to use to criticize the narrative being perpetuated by the leaders on the right

Frankly I wasn't expecting either, I absolutely regard myself to be at the bottom of the Bluesky barrel

I was just frustrated with how the leaders on the right are accusing the left as mostly supporting the assassination and wanted to say something

This small attention was quite a harrowing moment

Sorry, yeah, this wasn't an analysis on the article as much as it was a comment on how the political and thought leaders on the right are handling the situation.

I would prefer to have quoted your take instead, Ezra's just happened to be there.

And I'm tired that they say nothing about it, but when it comes to this, they put on the biggest performance of their lifetime.

I think that's fair.

I'm just so incredibly tired of how the political and thought leaders on the right handle situations like this time and time again.

I'm not even sure if they are genuine in their grief or if this is just another political opportunity to them.

I don't think he's exercising his executive powers and running his businesses within the boundaries of the law at least.

As for his personal conduct, I'm still waiting for the Epstein files. Well, on top of the existing allegations.

None of them, I just don't think he should've been shot.

But my comments were also primarily about my disagreement with how the right, and their political and thought leaders, are handling the situation.

want to imagine

You could argue that the left has been doing the same, but the talking points are entirely different

The right, as of now, are saying that the left SUPPORTS this assassination

The left, in general, has been crticising the right for INACTION

These not not the same.

But the responsible way to do things would be to introduce policy without further inflamming the situation or scapegoating any particular group of people

Increase policing? Sure. But to blame it on a group of people (in this case, the left in general) stands to invite consequences that I don't even

There are only that many times you can fan the flame before things go out of hand, and doing so at such a moment in time is a blatant disregard for that tipping point

Political violence (and any kind of violence) has to be addressed, yes, absolutely

both are practicing politics in the way that it was meant to be

But in a push for their own political agenda, I don't think leaders on the right will prominently acknowledge that takes like Ezra's exist

labeling them as hypocrites that pretend to love peace and inclusivity, yet (in their view) are also supportive of these acts of violence when the victims are those they disagree with, such as Thompson or Kirk

But most on the left are like Ezra, understanding that while they disagree
