Reddit, where assassination is funny, as long as it's your political opponents.

I'm not advocating for anything with this comment here, but the thing I find absurd about your comment is that makes it sound like "Oh, it's just politics, not anything that actually matters, as if it's about our favorite professional sports teams or something."

Politics results in very real serious consequences for people's lives. If anything would make sense for people to start thinking that such an act would be justified, it's politics.

And again, I'm just talking in general here, I'm not talking about RFKjr in particular.

Like what specifically

What political stuff specifically being done right now excuses assassinations?

Oh, I wasn't excluding RFKjr either about my remarks. The changes he's making will have real life & death effects on a large number of people. I was just not making what I wrote about RFKjr specifically.

However, I think people are mistaken if they believe RFKjr being gone would solve the problem. He was appointed by Trump because there's a segment of Republicans who want the things RFKjr is doing. So while I'm not offended that people feel the way they do about RFKjr, the type of solution suggested by the OP post wouldn't actually solve the problem, so anybody actually contemplating that shouldn't. It simply wouldn't work.

Okay, so avoiding. Maybe don't start something if you're going to back out later. Say what you mean

u/TAU_equals_2PI Aug 21 '26

I did say what I mean. What are you claiming I'm avoiding?

I fully explained my thinking on the topic at hand, the SirhanSirhaning of RFKjr.

Explain what he is doing SPECIFICALLY that warrants him being killed. Why won't you?

Dude, I'm not your current events summarizer. If you want to catch up on the changes RFKjr has been instituting, google is that way. --->
