@emptywheel

Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      There was no one cause. It all contributed. It was all decisive. Justifying immoral actions now that FBI is investigating is just cowardice.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/844604525415583744 …

      Sorry, where did you invent the "justifying immoral actions" from?

      I consider it immoral to memify messages of hate to deliberately support the rise of fascism.

      In my mind, saying, "Hey it was only one part of equation" is justification of that behavior, however subtle.

      So you'd rather operate without actual facts or expertise. Gotcha. Be careful of becoming what you oppose.

      No, I very much appreciate the research. Just feel it's important for people to understand that many causes all contribute.

      Don't feel it's helpful to folks understanding to downplay one cause just because it wasn't "THE CAUSE". There is no "THE CAUSE"

      Again, I really think you haven't read the piece. You are taking a decidedly anti-intellectual stance & making shit up.
