   This is some weaksauce BS. you obviously didn't click through on any of the links. Just from the couple I spot checked, in one he exaggerates the allegation far beyond what the source itself claims, in another he asserts an allegation as facts when the cited articles makes clear the claim is a disputed he-said-she-said with no hard evidence in either direction.

   Coates makes his living off stoking outrage, I guess he earned his paycheck from you today.

     @realcaseyrollins i mean READ THE PIECE. every quote is a link. you may dislike the author, i certainly agree he’s a partisan, but the text is well documented.

     @interfluidity Sharing an article by #TaNehisiCoates, a radical leftist, doesn't quite make your point the way you think it does.

     Like I said, this rhetoric is a self-report of left wing extremism.

     @interfluidity Frankly, accusing #CharlieKirk of "spewing" anything resembling "bile, hatred, and bigotry" is a bit of a self-report.

     I'm not going to pretend that #CharlieKirk was some moderate golden boy, but he's probably as moderate as you can be while being to the right of #BenShapiro.

     @interfluidity BTW, I'm not declaring that you're on the far left like it's some novel observation (we have spoken about politics many a time!), this is more broad commentary on everyone else that is using such commentary when it comes to #CharlieKirk, ironically accusing him of extremism while painting themselves as the less extreme ones.

     one thing to say about Charlie Kirk is he had enormous emotional range. he could project — very effectively! — reasonableness, bonhomie, good will, even across deep social chasms. he could also spew bile, hatred, and bigotry in a way that left little doubt he meant it. 1/
