    Are you equating:

    • People taking a job where you wear a mask to cover up because the shit youre doing has been considered illegal for decades
    • People taking a job where you knowingly ruin government programs that millions of people rely on

    With:

    • People saying “Charlie Kirk was hateful and inspired violence”

    ?

      There are very much other instances of us on the “left” doing this. People have gotten fired for their anti-black, lgbt etc speech. This is very much the same type of argument they are making. This is echo chamber talk and the downvote that I am seeing is very much a reflection of the lack of self-awareness that we often accuse them of. Do reflect deeply, and not act just on the basis of your emotions and biases.

      Also, do dig deeper, some have said much more than “Kirk was hateful.”

        So… To you, hate towards a group of people, and hate of a person spreading hate for a group of people - thats the same thing to you?

        You see absolutely zero difference between “this person did awful things” and “all ‘x’ people are awful by nature of being born as ‘x’”?

        And you want me to reflect on my thoughts?

        Wow. Those are some wild leaps.

        Enjoy your day, I have no interest in anything more with you.
