ā€œThough his statements were intemperate at times, he has never, and would never, commit any act of violence against another human being over a political or philosophical disagreement,ā€ the statement read.

Cognitive dissonance. He literally committed an act of violence against another human by shooting at FBI agents. Their whole damn family is fucking stupid and Iā€™m glad the piece of shit is dead.

I love their word choice. I think posts which are active threats that the FBI has to deal with are a bit more than ā€œintemperateā€, but okay.

Hereā€™s your pacifier, and hereā€™s your Fox News. Now run along and stop making statements to the media.

This is exactly how they want you to feel, because it will sensitize you to the violence, you eventually move beyond the mere vocal, and theyā€™ll have the war the want, because you and everyone like you will do the same thing. Youā€™re far from alone in this thinking, so they are winning on fronts that we dont acknowledge, at least not ā€˜in the clearā€™.

I know the outcome when the oppressive far right starts acting up, we have history books. Theyā€™ll start the war, they always do. Our mindset isnā€™t a problem, theirs is.

ā€œThey always doā€ - Iā€™m not talking skirmishes here.

I also do not disagree about the mindset. But that mindset has been well and contuously fed and watered; cultivated
