“Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) left critics dumbfounded on Friday after suggesting that James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate from Texas, would engage in religious child sacrifice. …
Lee’s social media post also included an animated image depicting a child being sacrificed to an ancient deity — a post that left several onlookers appalled.
“Nothing to see here, just a Republican Senator accusing a Democratic Senate candidate of child sacrifice,” wrote journalist and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan on Friday. “But, hey, don’t you dare criticize [President Donald] Trump as that could lead to political violence.””

Ah! what could our Family do without the moralist? He has always been our stay, our support, our friend; today he is our only friend. Whenever there has been dark talk of assassination, he has come forward and saved us with his impressive maxim, “Forbear: nothing politically valuable was ever yet achieved by violence.” He probably believes it. It is because he has by him no child’s book of world-history to teach him that his maxim lacks the backing of statistics. All thrones have been established by violence; no regal tyranny has ever been overthrown except by violence; by violence my fathers set up our throne; by murder, treachery, perjury, torture, banishment and prison they have held it for four centuries, and by these same arts I hold it today. There is no Romanoff of learning and experience but would reverse the maxim and say: “Nothing politically valuable was ever yet achieved except by violence.”

"I am not suggesting that censorship offers any solutions, and I am not contending that everyone is equally to blame. I want to pause to acknowledge the strange new physics that is distorting how many people understand the world. The information delivered in feeds and podcasts has been torqued away from reality to seize our attention. Just as many children’s brains have been hijacked by TikTok feeds of cute cats or pimple popping, political debate is now captive to a kind of alarmism that dehumanizes by default and announces any deviation from the norm as proof of systemic collapse. Allen and his cohort would likely echo what my social-media commenters tell me each day: That there is a war happening in the United States, and that the system is irreparably broken. For a nation founded in a revolution that met tyranny with force, violence can seem far too logical in the face of such flawed conclusions.
The truth is more complicated, and more challenging: The nation’s political machinery, upset by technological change, is strained but functioning. We must commit again to the basic national project—to disagree, even viciously, while maintaining respect for one another’s humanity and a desire for truth. We must discount much of the venom we see online, and from pandering leaders, as a distortion of reality, not a mirror. If we do not, more people will die."

@nm thanks for sharing. i skimmed your text:
> A philosophy against suffering cannot [...] build liberation through cruelty or peace through domination. If it does, then whatever purity it once had is gone.
without speaking about the specific incident, that made you write this post, i think there is a problem with this purity culture of #nonviolence. internally or externally, it pushes everyone to condemn the kirk shooter, to condemn hamas, and – as #MargaretKilljoy did repeatedly on her #podcast – to condemn animal liberation protesters. i'll link to that last one (as an example of what i dislike, even though it's by self-described "vegan" "anarchist" )
but — !
#racism is #politicalviolence.
#zionism is #politicalviolence.
#speciecism is #politicalviolence.
and all of these oppressive ideologies have killed and are killing disproportionately many
more people.if we condemn these acts of so-called #politicalviolence towards oppressors and demand "peace", let's be careful that we're not asking for that #negativepeace, which #MLK describes all to clearly in his #LetterFromBirminghamJail.

CW: Politics; video with excessive profanity
Just learned about this Hasan Piker guy.
https://x.com/JeremiahDJohns/status/2043683447340691947
He's a Twitch streamer. That's a video of him promoting political violence. "Let the streets soak in their f[***]ng red capitalist blood"
An article on him, hoping the Democrats don't become a leftist version of #MAGA :

This is bad. If people do not like a politician, they should deal with them either through legal channels (if they have broken the law) or democratic ones. In the UK, political violence could lead to an authoritarian regime using it as an excuse to restrict civil liberties (and the biggest parties are all keen on reducing civil liberties anyway).
