“Stochastic” terrorism is not the same as actual terrorism, if only because you don’t actually know that it’s stochastic terrorism. Half of the comments on lemmy since ck died could be considered stochastic terrorism. People been saying that it’s ok to kill nazis for years, but everyone has a different idea of what a nazi looks like. Just a matter of time until some nut decides someone is a Nazi and kills them. Stochastic terrorism.
Who is dehumanizing who? Calling people a Nazi is dehumanizing. Not saying actual Nazis don’t deserve it, but the term gets thrown around a lot, and when the message is also that Nazis should be killed, it’s stochastic terrorism because somebody might act because of misunderstanding or because they are crazy. Also anyone who is intolerant thinks they aren’t, or they justify their intolerance because they perceive their enemies to be intolerant or immoral or evil.
Who are some nazis that should die? Trump? Anyone who voted for him? Anyone who said something homophobic or transphobic? How do YOU identify a nazi?
And when you have any of the shit-spewing right-wing grifters, like Kirk, Shapiro, Crowder, Prager, literally getting rich off spreading hate, I feel no need to defend them when they become target of their own fruit.
How else will they be stopped? They feel no remorse when ‘others’ die. And a LOT of people died, even in the same day as Kirk, yet those people don’t give a shit.
Why should I give a shit about such people?
And where do I draw the line? Again: when you start going public with hate against minorities, you are not deserving any tolerance.
Yeah, kinda. I guess maybe you can clarify. I’m saying that killing Charlie Kirk was an act of terrorism. I guess my comment only makes sense if the perpetrator was motivated by left wing ideals ie left wing terrorism, but that isn’t clear yet.
No one deserves to die for speaking their truth.
That said, it isn’t the US left using the military and terrorist tactics to go after anyone who disagrees with Dear Leader
Ideological killings is terrorism
Charlie Kirk was one of the biggest sources of stochastic terrorism.
So what’s your point?

When people call themselves Nazis, you don’t have to guess.
When people dehumanize others, you don’t have to guess.
Acting intolerant loses any tolerance given from others.
It’s that simple.
You can always shut up about being a bigot. When you blame minorities for things billionaires are doing, you don’t deserve empathy.
Who is calling themself a Nazi?

There are people who see no problem with calling themselves Nazis.

Did you have the impression that I disagree with this?
Yeah, kinda. I guess maybe you can clarify. I’m saying that killing Charlie Kirk was an act of terrorism. I guess my comment only makes sense if the perpetrator was motivated by left wing ideals ie left wing terrorism, but that isn’t clear yet.
You haven’t said much since it was revealed the shooter was from a Trump suppporting Mormon family and he was a goyper.
CK wasn’t far right enough for him! Does that technically make CK a left winger victim of far right extremism?
Working on my house, so I haven’t seen a motive yet. Has he said anything or is it still people fitting him into whatever narrative they prefer?
