Some context clues you missed… “Typical” as in mainstream, and “leftist” is put in quotation intentionally. Also, we’re discussing American politics, so if you’re not familiar with our thinking, and are not interested in framing within that realm of thinking, then you can take your drum beating elsewhere. It’s useless in this discussion.
Comment on The Left Wants Violence!

By "leftist" you mean centrist right? Because every leftist knows violence is the ultimate tool in our arsenal.

Well, whether the world likes it or not, it impacts everyone globally. That’s Neo-colonialism for you.

OC said “opposing views” and it’s absolutely not leftist to bring violent against opinions. There’s nothing left about murdering a podcast host.
The world is probably a better place with him gone but a leftist should know eliminating an extremely minor player doesn’t win us the game.

In a war you take out the enemy propagandists.

I usually agree with you but I’m not with you on this one. Unless the goal is an actual civil war, his death is just the silver lining on his murder. Just handing the GOP a year’s worth of ammo for free.

Pretending Kirk was an important figure, even in MAGA is a weird thing for people on the left. He was a college campus agitator, and not even the most prominent one of those. Your comments are a caricature of militancy.

Lying to yourself that he wasn’t one of the most globally recognisable names in the alt-right pipeline is ridiculous.
Fact is the dude has had a decade or so of helping lead up to the stage of the world today. Far more “important” than probably 99% of the world in terms of his effect on it.

Did Sun Tzu say that? Not to be a dick, but I’m pretty sure you don’t have a source for that beyond, “because I want to kill right wing propagandists.”
In which major conflict was killing propagandists a high priority and doing so led to good outcomes?
