It's not causation. You may want to look at extremist formations while you study up on the history of antisemitism. For starters, look up stochastic terrorism. Also, this: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/10/squirrel-hill-shooting-trump-anti-semitism-america.html …

Interesting you bring up stochastic terrorism Bc that would further support the idea that this event probably had multiple things that incited it.

And lastly using slate as evidence doesn’t really help support your claim when you are trying to convince others this isn’t just partisan politics. Are we going to cite the jacobin and Fox News next?

“Slate” as evidence is a bullshit poisoning the well argument. That’s Dahlia Lithwick. You’d be hard pressed to find as respected a legal commentator and this fits a pattern of brusque dismissal of expertise. Here’s a piece by Ioffe. Don’t dismiss it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/outlook/2018/10/28/how-much-responsibility-does-trump-bear-synagogue-shooting-pittsburgh/#click=https://t.co/P7G4vqmqX8 …

She is also deeply partisan. Being an expert in a certain field doesn’t mean you are above the partisan fray.

And no if you are expecting me to bow down to appeals to authority that isn’t going to happen. Especially when what is presented is opinion pieces with vague evidence at best that seem more like they are searching for connections rather than actually providing them.

These are people with experience with anti jewish pogroms, with experience under regimes like Putin that used rhetoric to incite violence against political opponents. We don’t have RCTs on political rhetoric and incitement of violence (impossible expectations)this is what we got.

If your personal epistemology rejects human experience as invalid we can’t help you.

Not what I said mark lol. There is a difference bt saying having an experience with an issue is valuable and making appeals to authority. And when your argument starts to consist of “she has more experience than you” you have moved to the latter. But we are going in

Circles probably time to agree to disagree.

"Agree to disagree": What someone who can't support his arguments says before retreating from the field.

Lol you have given opinion pieces while not actually addressing any of my arguments but please carry on with this train of thought.

But please by all means address one of them? Where is the link bt a man who didn’t support trump and trumps speech that didn’t mention soros and anti semitism. It is also interesting Bc the sources you provided even stated that the soros caravan theory started outside of trump.
