  1. CW: US politics, recent death

    The recent shooting death of noted racist, nazi, white nationalist, and fascist Charlie Kirk, who basically advocated for the elimination of gay, transgender, and virtually every other non-white minority, has prompted some progressives to say that we have now answered the question "Just how big a piece of shit do you have to be, and how much fascism do you have to do, to prompt a progressive [1] to engage in the kind of political violence beloved of the fascist extremist right?"

    This is incorrect. We have not answered that question.

    We have, however, discovered an upper bound on the value. [2]

    Edits:

    [1] Apparently this was not actually a progressive shooting a nazi; it is now reported as a right-wing extremist shooting a nazi. The "why" should be interesting, if it is ever reported;

    [2] This conclusion is now incorrect, based on the previous footnote. We do not know any bounds on the value.
