Let's pretend that impressionable bigoted people don't use actions like these to commit what they believe is justifiable violence against others. Because so many people throughout history have been so rational when it comes to reasons to hate others.
Another laughably dumb take by a guy with no shortage of laughably dumb takes.Quote:

Except he doesn't remain silent. He only speaks on the thoughts of others. Never giving his own thoughts. Never. He simply mocks others and moves on. It's childish at best. Foolish more than likely.Quote:

If you keep beating a large audience over the head with nonsensical rhetoric for months on end, a decent amount are going to buy in. Look at Birds of Prey. He's indoctrinated with Trump related nonsense.Quote:

Why do you think Asian hate crime jumped so dramatically after COVID came stateside btw?
I wasn't trying.Quote:

They should. I mean we can't control ourselves against committing violence against citizens (or former citizens) of an area in which a virus originates can we?Quote:
