        Is there a struggle session? I barely know how to use this site. Maybe I'm missing context

        I know people have posted about his "inconsistent" politics elsewhere. To which I say for the most part... who cares? It could've been a hardcore neo-Nazi who did it and I'd still say they did nothing wrong in that instant. This isn't some blanket life-long absolution of all his bad posts and opinions. I just think if you're a mass murdering CEO and some person is pissed off enough to blast your ass, well, I understand.

        That transcends their other political views. Or, more importantly probably, it is part of the reason they hold reactionary views. Everyone is shaped by the reality they live in. Why anyone would expect any American to have consistent politics or to be on the left is beyond me. The US is insanely reactionary. There is effectively no "real" left here. If you live in the US or west broadly, you should already know this from your own life. I don't know what people wanted or expected here. 🤷‍♂️
