The war on disinformation marches on. Mere speech is increasingly equated with violence.
1)Tucker Carlson decries the speech of his political opponents
2)An unaffiliated 3rd party commits a violent act
3)Therefore Tucker is responsible
4)Thus we must use the violence of the state to suppress his speech
Unlike in item 2, the act of violence in item 4 will be explicitly affiliated with the political detractors. The best way to oppose bad ideas is to advance better ideas.
If the post 9/11 and COVID usurpations were not enough, get ready for the new thought crime and disinformation paradigm.
