Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

war is here

And they just now noticed? Quite low IQ maneuver considering it's they who started it.

Nothing really changed. They are calling for and actually doing violence for years.

[–] livejamie@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Here are some of the comment's below Asmongold's video where he says 90% of all of the violence is from the left, who continue to terrorize people daily, and that until violence happens to them, it isn't going to stop.

- They tried to kill Free Speech today. But all they did was martyr him. And they aren’t going to want to deal with the ramifications of it. (+7.4k)

- They killed the "lets talk it out guy". They have no idea what theyve done (+589)

- They could not win the debate, so they removed the debator. When the option to resolve differences through speech is removed, the only thing left is war. That is where we are currently at, and people feel it. (+361)

- Democrats havnt been this pissed since Lincoln took away their slaves. 😢RIP young man (+316)

- Ironically, this is going to be a turning point. In trying to silence him, they have made them a martyr. I’ve been saying this for years, it’s time to stop taking the high road with these lunatics. (+195)

- Being from the UK my government calls me far right, applies the law unequallly and persecutes the native population. Dont let it get this bad America. RIP Charlie. (+183)

- There's tweets, reddit comments, and bluesky comments already advocating for more violence against conservatives, and upvoted hundreds of thousands of times. They by their own words, are "just getting started". Keep your head on a swivel. (+175)

- Conservatives should no longer tolerate the intolerable. (+155)

- In the past two years there have been three high profile assassination attempts on Conservative politicians. Two on Trump, one which nearly killed him, and now another, unfortunately successful, on Kirk. All by leftists. In that same time, not one high-profile attempt has been made on a Democrat politician. (+140)

- MAGA won't be silenced. The left has been demonizing the right for years as being the violent ones. After today, they might just get their wish. (+129)

- I listen to both sides of politics . When one side keeps continuing to passionately assassinate the other side to silence them; I then lean more side that being silenced. (+108)

- You can only push people so far before they say “enough”. Enough of the riots, enough of the protests, enough of the doxing, enough of the rhetoric, and enough of the violence. To a certain point trying to take the high road has enabled these people to feel like they can get away with doing these things. So the only way to solve that is to start standing up and letting them know that they can’t. Time to rise up. (+82)

- I remember months ago when Asmon called it where something big was gonna happen due to the rhetoric like HAMAS DIDDY PIKER kept spewing would bring. Also not just Hasan but others in his orbit and community keep advocating for this type of violence and yet TWITCH does nothing and its such a shame. (+81)

Fun fact, Twitch is owned by Amazon. Amazon is a corporation that only cares about making a profit. If the top streamer on Twitch was about eating puppies. Amazon would be like "Yeah, eating puppies is not really bad cause we like money."

Lunatics, Trump assassination attemped wasn't even a left winger lol

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They start it. They egg it on. They should all go back where they came from.

Edit: Just in case someone doesn't get the context. I'm talking about the MAGA's. I told two of them a month or so back to go back where they came from. They balked completely at at loss for words.

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In their defense....it is very difficult to crawl back up into one's own ass

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

They crawled out of that hole they can damn well crawl back in.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

War on what? MAGA killing their own guys? Then yes let it begin

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 10 points 1 year ago

They are going to make tinyface their Horst Wessel.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Damn, Wikipedia already wrote a 15-page article about this. (at least it feels this long)

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, meet random violence with even more random violence, that will solve everything! It always works, like every single time.
