      Yeah, the killing in Charlottesville was a "one-off event." And the beatings. And the Tree of Life synagogue massacre. Another one-off. And the Christchurch mosque massacre. Another one-off. And the San Diego synagogue shooting. Man, the bodies are piling up from these one-offshttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1129601398432309248 …

      So, good job everyone who radically inflated the significance of that one-off event in August 2017, because it's influencing the conditions by which Biden can feasibly present himself as a desirable alternative, and cast internal Democratic Party debates as counter-productive

      2016 Orlando shooting (worst mass shooting in US history at the time) was also a "one-off event" despite vague ideological similarities that you can infer between it and other events. My position is that the Orlando shooting didn't justify threat inflation; you clearly disagree

          As with Nazis the number of ISIS sympathizers is small. What is worrying is the infrastructure (in ISIS' case mainly online propaganda) that allows for the radicalization of lone wolves. Stochastic terrorism. And very worrisome if done by powerful people.

          Right, so the actual violent, terroristic threat posed by both groups (Nazis and ISIS) in the United States is extremely small. Always happy to find common ground.

          Similarly to kids dying in detention centers -- 1 is too many in this case. You are right that it isn't a fundamental issue but not rejecting it as a society will easily make it one

          What about the Proud Boys that are intentionally getting into street fights on the upper west coast and did a demonstration in NY of assassinating a socialist before going up and beating up counter protestors

          odd comparison. i don’t know of anybody who is saying neo-fascist groups should be treated like isis. you said in other tweets that people who critically examined contemporary fascism were playing into the fbi’s hands and propping up a police state. idk, i haven’t seen that.

          9/11 justified 2 wars and a permanent surveillance state that will probably never go away. Now a new threat is being paraded around to justify even more curtailment of American freedom.
