CRAZINESS ABOUNDS ON THE LEFT:

This is so goddamn depressing. I've been saying for years that our problems with epistemic hygiene have been getting worse on the left, and here, arguably *the* most successful left-of-center public intellectual makes my point for me https://t.co/7lSth9WDXy

TRUE:

Repeat: the answer isn’t “pick up the microphone that Charlie Kirk was holding.” The answer is to use the full authority and force of the law to restore conditions in which people can speak without fearing for their lives. https://t.co/AE7lweRteY

NEW FRONTIERS IN DESPERATE FALSE EQUIVALENCY:

We “cancelled” the Dixie Chicks by not buying their music or going to their concerts.

You canceled Charlie Kirk by assassinating him.

AS THEY SHOULD: After Wayne, MI Church Shooting, Other Local Churches are Taking Security Far More Seriously.

Helen and I were walking and cut through the parking lot of a local baptist church, to be met by a rather large and formidable woman openly carrying a holstered Glock. She was friendly enough, and clearly decided we were not a threat to the kids in the church daycare playground, but she was on guard, and rightly so.

ALL THE BEST PEOPLE ASSURED ME IT WAS UTTERLY SAFE: Cannabis use associated with quadrupled risk of developing type 2 diabetes, finds study of over 4 million adults.

WELL: After Kirk shooting, Utah governor calls social media a “cancer.” Will we treat it like one?

If only there had been some sort of warning.

WELL, HE’S A 21ST CENTURY PRESIDENT, YOU KNOW: Trump administration launches flying taxi program.

HIGHER EDUCATION AS HATE: NYU adjunct: Charlie Kirk not a ‘victim,’ MAGA = ‘liars’ who should be ‘excluded from public discourse.’

MASSIVE RESISTANCE: Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University operate ‘DEIJ’ office, encourage reporting ‘bias.’

ANOTHER HIGHER EDUCATION BRAND BITES THE DUST:

UPDATE:

You called it “a war” the day before the assassination and said your side should use “any means necessary.”

You made up a quote to dehumanize a man who was just murdered

I'm so happy you were fired!

And I hope you never find gainful employment again!

Stop dehumanizing conservatives

Our society can't tolerate people who celebrate the murder of innocent people anymore. https://t.co/nDltUIFJ78

SOME, BUT NOT ENOUGH:

Wait until the haters of Charlie Kirk find out their anger is based entirely on quotes taken out of context and flat-out lies about what he said.

Cognitive dissonance will glue most of the haters to their original positions, with word-salad explanations of how they have been…

ADVICE FOR CONSERVATIVES FROM MARK JUDGE: “Don’t enter a kill zone where you’re an easy target.”

CHANGE:

For those uncomfortable with communists being fired, please understand this is as NICE as the Right will be from now on. You can see it in incidents like this. This has happened many times in the past few days. Previously, nobody would have touched this animal.

Not anymore. https://t.co/OQLKEWUxxD

PREFERENCE CASCADE: Three Million People March in London to ‘Unite the Kingdom.’

WE KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT ONE.

One would think after the highest profile political assassination in decades, network and published media would go out of their way to correct disinformation.

And they aren't. So now the question is, why aren't they? https://t.co/AijI0VKOcD

They know when they want their troops angry, and when they want the opposition quiet. And they conduct themselves accordingly.

JULIE KELLY: IT’S JANUARY 6 RULES NOW, BITCHEZ: “The criminalization of free speech and support for cancel culture for everyone–from President Trump down to his voters–related to Jan 6 established new rules. Now, it’s time to follow them.”

The problem democrats have is that they radicalized so many people so far that those people can’t be reeled in or hidden anymore when it’s inconvenient for them to be seen.

We all see them now.

The Washington Post once led a jihad against a young Trump 1 staffer because, they said, she sort of had her hands make an OK sign when asked if she wanted water at the Kavanaugh hearings. They tried to destroy her life for this.

JOHN KASS: Democrat Assassination Culture Killed Charlie Kirk. “What infuriated the left was that Democrats couldn’t compete with him or his ideas. So they killed him.”

OH, LARRY: Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe spreads debunked rumor about Charlie Kirk assassination suspect.

It remains impressive how liberals can spread disinformation with impunity while supporting censorship in the name of combating disinformation. https://t.co/UAojD6zl8b Laurence Tribe's claim that Kirk's shooter was MAGA takes disinformation to a new delusional level…
