  …where do you think most democracies came from?

    They must’ve been… Immaculately concieved.

    Not from murdering people who speak their opinions.

        Those aren’t about murdering fellow citizens because of what they say.

  Tell that to France.

    Yeah well that’s a better example than the American revolution anyway, but I guess I view revolution against government as being a little different than murder of a citizen exercising their right to free speech. The French revolution also was fighting to establish a democracy, wherein people could freely exchange ideas and contribute to the shape of government. Democracy doesn’t work if people murder each other instead of discussing things and using your vote to shape government. Violence must be prohibited and overwhelmingly condemned or it devolves into a zero sum game. This isn’t a victory for the left, this is a loss for society, further degradation of our republic.

    The irony of using the American revolution to justify murdering people for speaking their opinion…

      You claimed it is impossible to murder your way into democracy, I gave you an example of people murdering their way into democracy.

      Shifting the goalposts to be about ‘muh freeze peaches’ is weak.

  The infrastructure for democracy is already there. It’s just been shelved temporarily by the current admin.

    Ideological assassinations are a huge step in the wrong direction. Once you open the door to violence in place of speech and exchange of ideas, it’s a bad place. Everyone should condemn this. Do you honestly believe it’s a good idea to start killing people? Who is next? It’s not always going to be people you disagree with, and ANY murders need to be condemned.

      This is just the trolley problem. If you can save 5 people by killing 1, is it correct to do so, or take no action?

      Well, we’ve got lots of people taking no action, and look where that’s got us.

        You don’t get to just kill people that you suspect are evil. This isn’t some complicated ethical dilemma.
