I’ve noticed that half the media freakout is mid-level political commentators coming to terms with the idea that they can also be victims.
The fact that a lot of left commentators are realizing this along with the rightoids is a little disturbing because where have they been in the last several decades of escalating right-wing violence?
They are not soldiers. They do not kill each other.
They shout at each other on camera. Their animosity is probably exaggerated. At least one commentator brought up meeting him in person, in a debate, as a reason his death affected them more. Soldiers rarely meet opposing soldiers in such good terms as even the spiciest debate.
There is a reason propaganda needs to dehumanize and otherize the “enemy”.

Why would he celebrate the assassination of a political commentator when he holds the same exact job title
Why would a soldier want an enemy soldier to get killed when they have the same job title

Fascists are my other, thanks.
Human rights are a social contract and they specifically and deliberately opt out of it.
I mean, they aren’t the brightest people.
