    Oh no, bad thing happened, so clearly [latest right wing boogeyman] is responsible! Let’s not even offer supporting evidence.

      The supporting evidence is his manifesto. His hate for “powerfull” “wealthy” white people came from the idea that they harmed him and were responsible for his problems.

        Maybe you should actually read the article before claiming you have evidence:

        Metro Nashville Police Department officials say they are aware of the tweets and are receiving phone calls about them but would not confirm their legitimacy.

        David Raybin, attorney for Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale’s parents, told WSMV he could not confirm the legitimacy of the writings.

        “We have never seen a manifesto at any time. We’re not in a position to authenticate these pieces of paper. We have absolutely not released anything, but we certainly did not release this,” Raybin said. “It’s inappropriate for me to make any further comment about it.”

          So you’ve shifted from his manifesto not being littered with CRT ideology to the police will not confirm that the journal is authentic.

            No, I still hold the position that the right wing is using CRT as a boogeyman, and an unconfirmed manifesto (that doesn’t even having anything to do with CRT, let alone being littered with it) in no way supports your claim.

                Yeah, it’s almost like I don’t want to lend any credence to terrorists/terrorist orgs.

                    If your water stops working in your bathroom, but you still have water pressure in other parts of the house. Without looking in the pipes, is it wrong to say that there is a clog?

                    Even though you never looked?

                    I never claimed to know what’s in Hale’s manifesto if there actually is one, and I don’t need to because I know what leads to a metaphorical clog, and CRT ain’t it.

                  You’ve said over and over that you want to better understand conservatives, then you say stuff like this. You also whine that you can’t just defeat the point of the sub by posting lefty shit.

                  Do you honestly want to understand, or is that just an excuse?

                    You’ve said over and over that you want to better understand conservatives

                    No I haven’t. I understand conservatism plenty. It’s all about fighting literally anything that would make the world better, more empathetic, more prosperous, more fair, and actively pushing for regression and death of humanity.

                    I’m not here to understand conservatism better. I’m here to stay in the loop, keep my debate skills in check, a bit of entertainment, and on the off chance a fence sitter is passing by, hopefully enough context for them to see through conservative bullshit.
