This monster can call for direct violence against millions of people and suffer no consequences. But if I say I hope a particular individual falls down a staircase and shuts the fuck up, that’s too far. ‘Well it’s a chilling effect.’ And suggesting someone’s homeland get nuked is not, somehow. ‘Well it’s actionable because you have access to a staircase but not nukes.’ So I should hope his house gets nuked. ‘Well no there’s a connection between extreme rhetoric and inciting mundane violence.’ Oh, is there?
