Iryna Zarutska's life was ruined. When liberals downplay events like these, it pushes people to the other side, even if the other side has issues. It's not hateful to want less crime.
The barrier on HN is higher, but it's happening. Same on reddit. I'm my local sub, any time a political topic comes up, a horde of low karma, low activity accounts come online to cheer the administration or ask fake "concern troll" questions. The Internet of today is not the Internet of 2005.
I'm not allowed to disagree with people? What is wrong with you? And yeah, I use this site rarely. I also work and program and do many other things in my free time.
Sure, and Charlie Kirk was murdered by a US citizen. It's okay for us to correlate a rising trend in political violence with something other than immigration.
It's not as pleasant or vindictive as saying "the nonwhites did it" but it certainly seems to hold true when the political pot boils over. It's rarely the immigrants taking potshots at the president or storming the capitol, but instead deluded ideologues who are naturalized Americans.
You mean "natural" citizens. Naturalized is when one is not a citizen, but is made one.
On that note, the administration has started the process of de-naturalizing immigrants, which is something I'd never thought I'd see except in extreme cases.
For casual observers, this is where the fallacy is. I have to wonder what your media diet is, that of all the things to complain about, a false statement about the murder of a woman to justify watching the destruction of the country is the one a person lands on.
Our justice system is being ripped apart. Allies don't trust us militarily or economically. The president is pardoning people openly for money. His family is taking in hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency from anonymous sources. He shrugged off the murder of a Washington Post journalist while standing next to his murderer and called a journalist "insubordinate" for asking the question.
I read American and European news every day. I live in a relatively poor large American city. I continue to believe both sides show similar corruptness.
