To every leftist who's about to come down here and post "the right is the side of violence" or "the shooters are groypers", I'm not going to argue with you about obvious events and if you're intentionally obnoxious I'll just delete the comment and block you.

This essay was designed to try and reduce further violence. I chose this type of appeal because it seems obvious that many of you feel that violence against people like me is morally justified. Liberals will not do well if these trends escalate. Some of these people are my family, I'm not thrilled at the prospect. You can heed the warning or you can ignore it.

I agree that the country seems to be heading to more violence. I disagree with the "don't do it, you'll lose argument."

The better argument is "don't do it, it's wrong."

If you don't like that one there's always "don't do it everybody loses."

I don't think that argument is going to work on the kind of people who think that not advocating for children's genital mutilation is an offense worthy of death.

Sorry, you're going to have to give me a link for that one.

Are you saying that people on the left who want civil war also want to mutilate children's genitals? Or am I misunderstanding you sentence?

Referring to the "transgender children" phenomenon.

Nicholas Decker is a nobody that some provocateur blew up on social media. Keep inverting reality.

So? I just used him as a one-off example. I think the past two weeks have made things pretty clear.

They've made clear that "the right" is howling for blood.

From Matt Walsh's declaration of war, to Ingersoll's peaceful little message. He was the managing editor - not some random opinion eriter.

I can heed your warning? I work, I shop, I go to the gym, I eat, I sleep.

Heed what warning?

I remain a firm advocate of nonviolence. My warning is simply that if violence breaks out in a larger scale, American liberals will not fair well. Some of those people are my family btw, I'm not exactly excited about the prospect.
