    if the person who did this was left wing in any way at all then the government is going to go to town clamping down on the left in the UK. i absolutely disavow the kind of fucking moron who thinks they're doing a service for socialism and marginalised people in this country by committing a lone wolf stabbing that will be weaponised against the left and already-persecuted minorities (even when this MP was a removed who i have no sympathy for).

      Yeah, I thought we settled the "adventurism is bad" issue like a century ago. Whether it's worth condemning or not depends on the situation, but it's not a productive approach.

      Oh shit, I didn't think of that. But anyways, it looks like the conservatives are blaming it on Islam, not on the left, since the murderer was a foreigner.

        oh, some info came out about the perpetrator? shit, that's really bad news for certain minority groups in the UK. the right wing backlash could get very nasty indeed.

        everyone here is so edgy and jubilant over this. my first thought was to worry about how they're going to use this against marginalised people if the attacker ends up being a member of a minority group.

        Sorry but Salafi Islam is a radical leftist ideology of hate, I don't make the rules
