> When I say "them" it is in reference to the statements made in the wake of political violence.

To the extent that this person is slandering someone I condemn it. To the extent that this person is referring to the bad actors responsible I support it.

Seems rather simple to me but let me know what you don't understand.

> What were the killer's motivations? I haven't been paying close attention.

I'm not trying to be combative but you're speaking from a place of willful ignorance. This is adding very little to the conversation.

We're talking about a tv show.

I try to have a consistent and coherent worldview.

It depends on to what extent the killing was leftist violence, and who you're referring to when you say "them".

What do you think were the killer's motivations? Let's see how closely you've been paying attention.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that this was a rule and I apologize for breaking it. I do occasionally overstep my bounds but I generally try to go with the flow of traffic around here.

In my defense, I linked to a very recent exchange that I had with that exact same person about nearly the same topic. In a normal conversation or debate that would be considered totally appropriate, and I imagine I was caught by an automated rule, since I was immediately throttled.

But I understand the reason for the rule and I will attempt not to break it again. Sorry to give you more work and thanks for the site.

You're making my point.

This is not cancel culture. What Jimmy Kimmel did was always out of bounds.

You are less credible than Nick Fuentes at this point.

None of the memes are exclusive to the right. Much of his writing is exclusive to the left. Why are you lying?

> The only facts we know

Who's we? You seem to have missed a lot.

Edit: The shooter is a deranged leftist. Absolutely none of the evidence contradicts this. Much of the evidence disproves the claim that he was a conservative.

Why did you lie about having stronger evidence?

> you can figure out sources yourself.

I have plenty but it's your turn!

"dressed like a" vs "law enforcement says"

Uh, sure. Okay. I thought you said you had a stronger case.

bitlax··on The Obsolescence of Political Definitions (1991)
It's not about what I have; it's about what's objectively true. Please lay out your strong case.

Edit: don't forget to provide sources!

Here's the thing: you're posting from an eight-day-old account. Maybe you're an alt of someone I've already been speaking with. Maybe you're a cocksure but confused college student. I have no idea. But you've made an appeal and I'm not cynical. You're asking me to do your work for free, and not doing so is my prerogative, as is your ability to say what you want about me. I think if you write for a bit about this situation I'll be able to see where it's going, and if I still think you're sincere we can go from there.

If you're sincere, how would you comprehensively describe the background of the shooter and his modus operandi? What sources have you used to gather this information to this point?

Ok! So first, how would you summarize the piece from NPR? Who are the major players? What is the issue? What are the causes? How could the problems be solved?

The public school stakeholders are not trying to maximize test scores and have said as much. NPR listeners have had complete control of these systems for decades so if they'd like to focus on different metrics they have the liberty to do so.

"Ok, I'm imagining myself as a fentanyl dealer. Now I don't want to go to jail for selling fentanyl. Someone died from overdosing on my fentanyl and I don't want to get caught."

"Wow I guess we don't want to put drug dealers in jail then."

Couldn't Mariann Budde advance a much more productive conversation by being empathetic with someone like, say, me?

No, you just can't follow the argument, but that's ok. At least you learned that your brand of sarcasm doesn't actually make you sound smarter.
