re: #286 Targetpractice

Again, no offense, but how is arguing over a word or the timing anything but a concession that Bee’s actions are on a similar if not equal level with Barr’s? The more we try to hold ourselves to a higher standard, the more they hit us for not meeting that standard.

Oh to be clear I’m really not arguing anything. I see both sides (no, not like that) of what folks are saying here. All views seem nuanced with good intentions. I was just answering your questions as I perceive it.

I could give a fuck either way honestly regarding if Sam should have said it, if she should have apologized and all that. I’ve seen it so many times that I’m just like, whatever. We have a Nazi traitor as President so I’m just not surprised by anything I guess and the playbook is so old. I don’t have anything useful here.

But I definitely have conflicted feelings generally about how we fight them and I don’t think it’s as simple as hitting like they do or conceding to their playing field. I still think about this a lot.
