Yesterday: mass shooters are America's single greatest problem, what kind of nutjob actually kills other people to satisfy their insane ideology? Today: a person I've never met with the surname Koch is dead and this may be the happiest day of my life

I dunno, I'm coming from the apparently uncommon position of not wishing death on any of the people whose work I vehemently oppose

I'm curious: do you see a distinction between wishing vs celebrating? Is the mere feeling/thought worthy of moral approbation, or is it the public expression there of? Do expressed opinions of remote, 3rd-parties matter at all?

If, in my weakest moments, I find myself wishing real harm on people who are both politically active and (IMO) heinously wrong, I don't want to endorse those feelings in myself. And I especially don't want my community or society at large to endorse them

I think it's really, really strange to live in a society where various political tribes explicitly celebrate the deaths of their political enemies and then act like murder is some bizarre, inexplicable act vaguely related to psychosis + firearms

I think it's really strange that you don't see a significant difference between ppl commenting on a public person's natural death and ppl's reactions to multiple mass shootings.

I think it's fascinating to watch people literally celebrate a political opponent's death in between intense conversations about the hate-fueled radicalization of... their political opponents. I'm not surprised the obvious doesn't occur to them.
