If they’re reluctant to reveal them it’s probably because they were made by Leftwingers.

The flip side of the seriousness of the charges only going one way is mindless defense of your side.

Thank you, with that in mind, and my opposition to any censorship, no matter how ugly the speech is, anyone that wants a link to the (now scrubbed) El Paso shooter’s diatribe, send me a note and I will forward the link.

I do not glorify or like or even understand this kind of hate. But I do accept that it will always exist and that knowledge of it helps to harden ourselves.

Hat tip to Wayback.

The “cure” is much worse than the disease.

Why do we not know more about the TX shooter? Did he live with his parents? His grandparents issued a statement, did he live with them? That house he lived in was pretty upscale, didn’t anyone notice he was in trouble mentally?

What gets me is how commonly Left Wingers believe (or act like they believe) that Cultural Marxism was a nothing sauce and yet if its influence disappeared from their lives all at once many of them would probably hardly recognize themselves.
