Those who condemn the expression of violence but are not willing to condemn the vigorous and consistent spread of irresponsible false narratives - especially when they know damn well they’re false - are as culpable of violence as are the vulnerable suckers who believe their lies.

You are insightful on many topics, so it's a disappointment how wrong you are on others. Living in a free society means we are exposed to false narratives, and every individual must act their own arbiter of truth. Words are powerful, but they are not violence.

Words are absolutely violence. Read a little history. Start with Germany and Rwanda.

Words are not violence. Violence is violence.

Indeed we should resist spreading false narratives, and fraudulent web sites creating division such as the lie that David DePape was right wing when he was a member of the Green Party, a nudist, BLM believer, a Castro supporter and believed Jesus was the antiChrist.

The sticks-and-stones coping mechanism was from an America that had far harsher speech and far less violence.

Could violence be the music, the symphony of the unheard who have been cast aside, cast out whose voice have been denied to be heard whose words are deemed vain callous and offend-able

The Fact they blamed MAGA republicans right away instead of waiting for facts is sad.

This is a fact of nature; ~38% humans have enlarged amygdalas (the part of brain that deals with fear). They lack guilt, shame, remorse. Trauma causes both normal & enlarged amygdalas to become overactive & making victims act psychopathic or even more psychopathic.

For those who are confused and defending "free speech": Hitler didn't murder anyone, but his words convinced others to murder for him. Osama Bin Laden didn't kill anyone on 9/11, but his words convinced others to fly planes into buildings. I can go on all day, comprehend?
