Excellent piece. I had the same arguments with them back at the time when it happened. It boggles the mind how people can just suddenly go off the deep end whenever something violent happens. It’s like they intentionally eschew all powers of reason to make the most conflicted, illogical points possible. Whether it’s Israel-Palestine, Atlanta shootings, Kyle Rittenhouse, or any other violent act that makes news headlines, it’s guaranteed to be a couple of weeks where I sign off social media to avoid the annoyances and I’m guarantee to argue with people I usually agree with.
I'll never forget a conversation you and I were having with another guy where we were trying to explain that the fact that the shooting involved a white man and Asian women didn't make it racist. He seemed like a perfectly reasonable guy, but he just couldn't accept that the possibility of racism wasn't the same as a guarantee of racism. He could understand all the points in isolation, but just couldn't put them together. It was surreal!😅
