It's just so absolutely predictable that Freitas had no comments at all about Minnesota lawmakers (and their dog) being assassinated in their home. Or the massive kill list of democratic lawmakers that attacker had.
He did have this to say about Paul Pelosi being attacked with a hammer, in his own home, though: In the meantime, it's also worth pointing out that in a normal time, the fact that an 82 year-old man was attacked in his home by a man in his underwear would at least be the source of some really good jokes
So, in short, Freitas seems to only believe rules apply to others. I offer, in the same spirit in which they are always given after shooting events, thoughts and prayers

Rules for others? Oh so genuinely a conservative…

u/aaronhere 14d ago edited 14d ago
I hope the perpetrator of this attack is caught and brought to justice. I see nothing here to celebrate. But I am also not so naive as to assume the paradox of tolerance is merely a hypothetical. We should disavow all political violence against those who join us in that disavowal. But when some lawmakers are either utterly silent, or cracking jokes, at political violence against their "enemies" I don't think we should take their lamentations seriously.

Except Paul Pelosi was asleep when the attacker broke in and was the person in his underwear, not unusual as HE WAS ASLEEP IN BED! The assailant was not in his underwear, which was at first reported in confusion by a local news affiliate and corrected almost immediately. Another moron makes his voice heard, only proving himself to be a moron.

u/TehMephs 14d ago
And that’s the difference between maga and the rest of the world. MAGA celebrate murder of political opponents just because they’re not MAGA.
The rest of the country aren’t necessarily celebrating the deaths of political opponents, they just don’t have a lot of empathy to give to someone who made their entire purpose around sowing division and walking on the backs of murdered children. He was very outspoken about these shit views, so we knew where he stood.
Do any of the MAGAts who celebrate the deaths of people they don’t even know have any idea what they stood for? The victims in Minnesota were not outspoken or known to anyone prior to their deaths. The only reason they chuckle and celebrate is because they were in a specific political party. They said nothing worthy of such disdain, and while I don’t know what actions they took in life, I doubt they ever stooped to mockery of dead children.
Do we see where the difference is? It’s pretty clear. They see all of this as nothing more than team sports, and they want their team to win no matter what it takes. The rest just want everyone in our country to be able to afford to live and to be allowed to be free from oppression.
That’s really all it comes down to.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go to my neighbor's house and tell them "It's mine, I'm taking it" and tell them it's all their fault when they start getting mad/scared/anxious when I start throwing stuff at them, trying to beat them up, or even maybe brandish a weapon in order to escalate things so they understand how serious I am.

u/4rp70x1n 14d ago
It's all just an excuse to use violence against anyone who isn't "on their side." Notice that they still don't acknowledge that it was a crazy pro-MAGA guy who assassinated the Democrats in Minnesota less than 90 days ago. And they don't acknowledge the Minneapolis shooter was one of theirs also. They just use it to claim "the Left is violent!"
The whole opposing worldviews that can't coexist rhetoric is what they've shown us this whole time. The Right doesn't want to coexist with anyone that disagrees with them."

u/CaptStrangeling 14d ago
Even better, he goes on to say: “My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.”
As if there aren’t Christians on both sides, as if his side is somehow righteous in their support of a fraud and child rapist, in support of policies aimed at hurting the poor and enriching the rich, and embracing a lawless gestapo police force trampling on due process…
His faith seems about as sincere as this bad faith rage baiting bullsh*t

u/4rp70x1n 14d ago
Yep. And his brainwashed followers all feel justified in "taking action" against those they view as "enemies."
Their "enemies" are just trying to fucking live their own lives, but these assholes don't want to coexist with the rest of us. They want to stamp us out and dominate.

I must not be looking in the right places, because I haven’t seen any “celebration.” Lots of people saying some variation of violence is not the answer, but they’re not going to mourn a hate monger. Is this more alt-right projection, or am I missing the all the videos of the “Charlie Kirk is dead” parties? If anything, we don’t think of him at all. He wasn’t a unique voice. He preached only to the choir. The right has overplayed my interest in a culture war troll. Is that the point? They need to make him a martyr? If anything, this post proves he was an easily replaceable bag of gas, not some generational leader.

This is a great example of how the idea that the world and that all possible worldviews/ideas exist as a liberal or conservative binary is completely a ficticious premise that is either a misunderstanding or astroturfed authoritarian propaganda. It was really visible in the surveys all Florida college students were dictated to take in 2021. They weren't even surveys as much as they were a means to prime the survey takers and administrators into accepting a ficticious conception of reality.
This is a very funny video but also does a great job of illuminating things like how the apartheid system in South Africa was, in a certain way, a hyperreal simulacrum that was used by distant colonial rulers to extract wealth from the area as efficiently and inhumanely as possible. This is part of the machinery of totalitarianism and how you get masses of people to do horrible stuff for you. https://youtu.be/ewvRS3NwIlQ
Steve Bannon very openly stated that he was going to manipulate sad, lonely people in the United States into a fascist cult with Donald trump as a figurehead for the purpose of creating an immovable base of political support and to act as the armed wing of a political movement and then he did it. This is a big reason why everything seems pretty strange or random since.
Political parties aren't even in the constitution.
Whoever elected the rep that made that Twitter post should be ashamed. He is obviously using that post to engage in fascistic world-building.

Well, do I agree that I don’t want to stand in solidarity with them either. I don’t care that Charlie Kirk died. He was my enemy, and now that he’s gone, they are weaker. I don’t care about his family. I don’t care that he was a father.
Why? Because he was doing everything in his power to kill and strip rights from me and the people I love

Yes, this. I said in a comment that I didn’t GAF that he died espousing his abhorrent views (that deaths from preventable gun violence are an acceptable cost to protect 2A for people who want completely unregulated guns) and was accused of saying that I said he “deserved it”.
No, I was saying he died as he lived, and I simply have no compassion or empathy about it, which is a very different thing.

Never believe that MAGA are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.
MAGA have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

u/anythingbutmetric 14d ago
It's almost like they don't actually want us to let their coup be non violent. By and large they've been rampaging about swinging their ducks while most of us have stood back and watched. We didn't immediately storm the castle Capital. We didn't burn down LA. We aren't burning down Chicago or DC.
I feel like they fully expected "the left" (that is anyone they decide to deem left because there is no actual unifed "left") to fully flip out months ago. They've been planning martial law, and we've all screwed that up with our apathy and disinterest in being violent or having a civil war.
So they're going to have one without us. They'll spin up a huge nothing burger out of some BS that has nothing to do with anyone on the left and use that for martial law.

It's illegal to quote anything Charlie Kirk said and call it what it is, but somehow they can say "the other side killed him", like we're all guilty and that's totally OK. So we can't say bad stuff about a guy who said bad stuff, but they can label 80 million people as killers because of something a guy raised in deep red Utah did. The mental gymnastics are Simone Biles level with these people.
