    just below that you have a lib going

    I wouldn't characterize it as an assassination, myself

    ...I feel that calling this an assassination is somehow dignifying the murder/murderer, and taking into account too much the murderer's beliefs/policies. I can understand using the term "assassination" if you take down a brutal warlord, say, or a head of state who's leading a genocide or in some other way doing significant harm to the world (Trump or Putin, perhaps). But this was the senseless murder of a peaceful, cultured, positive, and intelligent person. Please let's not try to assign, or seem to be assigning, any sense to it...

      ??? assassination is a neutral word, I don't get the logic here. There's nothing dignified/undignified about it.

    Lol typical Yankeecentric brainworm.

    Edit: reminds me of how during the peak of #Resistance my lib friends were all exhilarated cuz the LIBERAL party won the Australian election. You know, it’s literally called LIBERAL!!!!

    any time i talk shit on wikipedia, I make a throwaway with a gibberish username and password. You don't need an email to make an account, which is pretty nice. But if you don't make an account it will just list your IP, which I don't care for, since that can be used to approximate your physical location.

    I'm going to start a part called the "We won the election and people like us" party and everyone will just go along with it because clearly the name is what matters.
