there was no good-faith and productive discussion to be had when you celebrate murder
how can you call others a tankie when you dance on graves as they do?
i have sympathy for the americans who are wronged by the man murdered but instead of violence maybe you consider reading a book to understand the world around you and be open to the power of faith to restore your love of humanity instead of parading violence
Maybe. But it is not necessary. A big part of the reason why Liberals are so annoying is the basic fact that Liberalism is an idealistic philosophy. At the very root of everything is the belief that if enough people believe in something, it is sure to happen. This is why when it comes to Liberalism, everything is an awareness campaign. All we need to do is identify the good beliefs, never stop shouting the good beliefs at the top of our lungs, and liberal utopia will manifest itself.
A lot of these people are true believers, who see themselves as the front line soldiers of an information war. They see the demise of the United States, or the western liberal democratic alliance more broadly not as a material process, not as the chickens coming home to roost, but SIMPLY as a crisis of epistemology. The masses are wrong because not enough of them understand we are the good guys! There may be some fed admins floating around, but I am convinced that the admins of .world genuinely believe criticism of the United States on social media will lead to the extinction of democracy and that they are "doing their part" to save it.
