Has anyone provided an iota of evidence that what is driving this horrific surge of anti-Asian violence is "white supremacist domestic terror"?That would require data showing who is primarily perpetrating the violence and with what motive. Where is that? https://t.co/7p7mUmloDW— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 17, 2021
Please empirically prove racism with math! Show your work now!
Further down the thread he links to Batya's thread that the guy was "eliminating a source of temptation." You could probably make an argument there that maybe this was anti-Sex worker violence or more misogynist rather than racist, but Glenn is not actually making that case. He always has to say things in such a way that he looks like he's just doing cover for whatever horrid bigotry is happening, and then just links to a bunch of people mocking him for it as proof that he's right somehow.
Hell I'm amazed Glenn isn't making this case as the alleged killer has said pretty much that it was motivated by misogyny rather than racism. The amazing thing about Glenn's contrarianism is he doesn't bother choosing a framing where he could sneak his weird views in, even when a very simple one exists.
Edit: just so it's clear, I'm sure both racism and misogyny were a motivation, and I'm not meaning to suggest race wasn't a factor.

Real sick of this asshole.

Sure, I'll even ship it down in a 1m thick metal shell fired out of a giant railgun so you get it in time.
Question: How big of a rail gun would you need to nail someone in the head, from the northeastern part of the US to Brazil?
