At least when the target is generally regarded as evil by 90% of people. Just look at the front page of reddit, it's wall to wall shitting on UHC and being oddly supportive of violence for civility liberals (i'm assuming the astroturfers don't have a coherent line yet)

    Because the only outcome that is relevant is a systemic one. Killing one dude does not make systemic change. I really don't understand what's so hard to understand about that.

      I really don't understand what's so hard to understand about propaganda, especially propaganda which reveals that 90% of even the most civility poisoned liberals are supportive of this, having systemic effects. I don't understand why "inspiring copycat murders" is the only effect you would deem tangible.

      Seems like an ideological commitment to the idea that violence towards our masters achieves nothing except in very narrow prescribed circumstances. IMO this is yall experiencing the last vestige of civility brainworms.

          You're going off on how this event, which has already inspired widespread discussion, admiration and support, will have no effect- despite those things in and of themselves BEING EFFECTS OF THIS ACTION. All because you won't be satisfied unless someone kills capitalism itself? lol ok

          P.s. my favorite part of this thread so far was the guy bringing up the Shinzo Abe shooter and how literally effective that was
