That's the point. He's changed. Ever since
@michaelshermer gravitated towards the IDW, he's been regurgitating right wing propaganda about the "violent left," even though by any reasonable measure right wing violence is far more prevalent and deadly. 2/1 reply 0 retweets 15 likesShow this thread
This serves to paint a false narrative that the left is more violent than the right, a story right wing propagandists intentionally promote and @MichaelShermer seems inadvertently to promote. He seems only to criticize RW violence when that asymmetry in his criticism is noted.3/3
