    it’s kind of dramatic to frame “hey it’s not cool to use our platform to jokingly encourage would-be assassins” as “capitulation” to such-and-such political movement. by all means make assassination jokes in private but it’s different when it’s through a megaphone like that - we live in an age of stochastic terror man, that shit’s been weaponized for a decade now and it’s silly to pretend it isn’t as long as the “joke” reflects your own feelings. this is some maga-level mental gymnastics, maybe think more about it.
