They posted graphics calling him a "biological female" before he caved. Rittenhouse backtracked his criticism not even 12 hours after the online hate from his fellow conservatives started.
I’m assuming you’re an adult and probably already know this, but don’t drive yourself crazy. Step back and disconnect from this if it’s stressing you out.
I’m a dyed in the wool progressive and used to frequently argue with libs about my being in favor of responsible firearm ownership. I’ve learned to just ignore them if they’re being assholes or are arguing in bad faith, as I see is the case here with a few users who can’t stop trumpeting how they’re arguing in good faith. Funny, that.
Yea, thanks. I had hopes for lemmy because the user base was smaller, but at this point i think all online forums are epistemically captured by one side or the other.
I don’t want to hang out with conservatives. I’m for socialist left values. The only thing I asked is if it was murder or self defense because I know the narrative that is typically spun here is devoid of the facts.
When I got o argue with conservatives about this pos idiot kid (Kyle R) they point to all the misinformation that trickles out of this narrative from the left and my job doubles.
My end game is to not make it easier for conservatives to whitewash what happened. But if we can’t even BEGIN a conversation about what happened that day then I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried it in the past when this was brought up and the outcome was the same: every thread devolved into the label campaign “you’re a conservative” / “you’re defending a pos” / “youre a fascist” etc etc

And yet, you persisted.

Stop trying to relitigate a case on behalf of a murderer who will never thank you for being “on his side”, maybe?
I’m not interested in defending Kyle. I just want the facts of the events to be clear. If just that is enough to trigger so many of you… I don’t know. Its sad.
I agree with the other chap. The issue is you’re on .world, but because it’s because .world is full of centrist neoliberals that think they’re leftists. Blahaj, in my experience, is a nice compromise between .world and .ml.

Your problem is that you’re on lemmy.world, one of the big instances that skews left because lemmy users in general do.
Find yourself a right-wing lemmy server. You’ll be happier there without any lefties to contest your claim of leftism.

Lol you just labeled him right wing hahaha fucking hell you people are ignorant as hell.
Oh man. If you think .world skews left, I know some instances that could blow your Overton window wide open.
