      I agree wholeheartedly and that’s fundamental to the point I was trying to make above, which was rebutted with a “but what about body count” argument

      The original tweet is making a body count argument, which is what I was poking at

      Both of the body counts were about intentional attacks, it wasn't comparing oranges to orangutans like you were.

      I would agree except that it was arguing the one is not as important as the other *because* of body count. Whereas I would say it’s all worrying because it is social in nature and the intention factor

      Body count is important. Nobody AFAIK has denied that in this thread except, wrongly, you.

      “The need for introspection, dialogue & reformation belongs not in the western world” That claim was supported by comparing body counts. I just don’t think that’s sound reasoning, even if it is practically useful information

      When ethnically motivated violence pops up anywhere, I’m going to be on the side of “Let’s have some introspection and discussion” at the bear minimum

      No you aren't, and neither is anybody. You know and I know about the barest miniscule fraction of the ethnically motivavated violence that has happened on this planet, even just in the last few months.

      That seems like more of a bandwidth problem than a lack of concern for ethnic violence elsewhere. But also ethnic violence elsewhere is not typically a threat to the values I hold dear in my country, because those values never existed to begin with in most of these cases

      Concern without knowledge is mere virtue signalling. When there is immigration to "your" country the behavior of everybody everywhere is relevant to the future of your values & to something even more personal most of us do also hold dear, the future of our particular descendants.

      The limits to our knowledge -- and the very real and related limits to our sympathies, the preposterous pretenses of virtue signallers notwithstanding -- are the biggest reason we have property rights, borders, and other such abstract limits on face-to-face association.

          But guys, the shooter here was not an immigrant. Certainly destructive ideas can be homegrown? I don’t really understand the pushback here

          My response to Nick was limited to what I was responding to. WRT to other points u have made, I get the import of what u are saying, R O. But if u read a few other points I have made on this tweet, u will see there is no pushback. u are conflating using artificial equivalence.
