So much mainstream “discussion” of the recent political assassination is hypocritical posturing with a dark agenda. We’re seeing a lot of fake moralizing designed to legitimize future violence instead of calls for calm and de-escalation. If we were actually having a serious discussion, we’d make a clear distinction between an act of political violence, which is an affront to freedom that we must always condemn, and a demand that we celebrate the victim’s legacy. Unfortunately, we now find ourselves living in a funhouse mirror world with its own dreamlike rules, with even some previously sensible mainstream pundits straining to sanitize reality.
