    Huh. I don’t really consider Kyle Rittenhouse a valid source of my moral philosophy, so I’ve never heard his manifesto before.

      Considering the lack of consequences for his actions, and that he’s been paraded around since by the party that won the election, it shows the moral philosophy of the country and its legal system.

        At best it only shows the moral philosophy of the plurality of people who bothered to vote, and your defeatism is tantamount to enabling their attitude.

        One guy had an idea of the relationship between property and (black) lives and got into a fight which ended in a death and was acquitted for murder.

        Do you think that because Casey Anthony was acquitted, America thinks killing kids is no biggie? What if a few people signal boosted her to rabble rouse their base?

        It’s a handful of morons who are now disproportionately at the helm. They don’t speak for you or me.

              Yes, that’s exactly what I said. You are definitely communicating in good faith and continuing to respond to you would be a good use of my time.

                Oh no, someone gave up on arguing with you in good faith when you’ve been glib this entire time!

                Everyone else but you has to play by the rules, eh?

                  Using obvious sarcasm as a rhetorical technique is not in bad faith.

                  Aggressively playing dumb to manufacture an excuse to attack the person doing so as if his argument were sincere, even though you yourself admit you knew he’d “been glib this entire time,” however, is in bad faith.

                  This is your warning.
