Following this literal 🙈🙉🙊 advice is great for helping Rush Limbaugh get away with promoting the lie that this white supremecist was actually a leftwing eco-fascist https://t.co/2AaDQWHa5l

I’ve been completely astounded lately by the liberal “censor everything, report on nothing” approach to the Christchurch massacre. What do they believe this will achieve? It seems that my side has a really distorted understanding of the way the current media environment works, the way idea transmission works, and how best to contextualize such events.

Sticking your head in the sand and hoping for the best seems like one of the worst possible approaches.

I’m not saying that the shooter’s idiot manifesto should be posted everywhere, but examining why events happens, their causes, the ideas behind them, seems pretty valuable to me. Otherwise, there is no method of preventing such events, and no understanding of their etiology.
