minus-squarebreadsmasher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoAt no point did I ever justify murder. We can discuss how words can be used to inflict violence. And draw upon historical figures as examples of when that has literally happened. I never said he deserved to die. I am arguing with the articles wording of “he only ever used words”, which glosses over what those words were
