This tweet is a good example of a trend on here: to get people to not share even basic facts because they go against The Narrative. It's usually framed as "read the room" or "not right now," but the goal is to silence disagreement, no matter how factual. https://twitter.com/abgutman/status/1372308509962944513?s=19 …
The bizarre thing about people on the left doing this is when people on the right do it by, say, arguing that "now is not the time to talk about gun control," everyone on the left understands how nonsensical that is.
My view is that it's okay to report facts and share different opinions, even or especially when it's inconvenient, because I trust that people are smart enough to wade through disagreements and reach their own conclusions. Otherwise, society doesn't really work.
But what are you talking about? There are obviously tons of different hate crimes every year; should we not be concerned about large increases in a specific subgroup?
The question to ask might be: are there actually increases? I haven't asked it up to this point, perhaps I should've? Now I will. I tend to think there have been, but haven't seen any solid numbers.
pulling out crime statistic right after racism motivated shooting is the exact thing rwingers do
Or they "why are you deviating from the orchestra and not criticizing Tucker Carlson like everyone else?"
I always thought the "now is not the time for gun control" was more "don't jump to conclusions, this is a heated moment, lets not let emotions take over". Which AFAIK is the exact thing people pointing to facts are doing.
