Those who cheered on the latter murder should now be examining their consciences.
The historical record is very clear: in politics, violence begets violence. This story is only beginning and it may not end well for America.

political voilence causes more political voilence
I think that’s kinda true, but I don’t like the way you phrased it
It is very shortsighted phrasing that only serves to tell people that we shouldn’t engage in violence for the sake of self defense because “it just makes more violence”.
When in reality, it is just a way to tell people to sit down and accept the violence being committed against them by the system as normal and that rising up against it is somehow an immoral act.
Apples and Oranges mate. Such a shortsighted view to boil down all of the nuances behind the systemic reasons that people engage in political violence down to just “violence begets violence”.
The right-wing assassin is a direct result of the Republican’s brand of vitriolic, jingoist rhetoric that tries to convince its cult that the country is “being invaded by evil foreigners”. Not because of the death of one CEO. His murder wasn’t anything special other than it got an exaggerated amount of media coverage because he was rich.
Either way, America has been on this course for far, far longer then Luigi has even been alive. His alleged actions did not cause this. This story isn’t “just beginning”, it began almost a century ago and is now reaching its climax.
And, just for the record, I still proudly cheer for the death of scum like that insurance CEO. He deserved so much worse than the quick death he was given. Who did commit the act is a hero for the people.
Hard pass. Dude was a far right extremist judging by his views who was radicalized into ending a political opponent for “his team” while the other was due to the crushing pressure of the uncaring and unhelpful health care industry. Completely different and I award you no points.
I don’t think you understand OP’s point. They aren’t saying that the motivations are equally valid, they are saying that political violence of any kind will always escalate into further and wider violence.
Luigi’s violence was not political. Full stop.
then what was it? was he trying to make a point of some sort? the whole deny, depose, ect writen on the bullet casings?
was it simple murder? because if so I doubt he would’ve written a manifesto about it
Can you show me where his actions supported a particular party? Affordable healthcare is not a political party.
physically fighting against and killing a member of a large power structure like this is a political act. There doesn’t need to be an organized political party on the other end of this for it to be political
for example, the 2020 BLM protests, were those political acts? what political party did they support?
