    A whole slew of politicians from every party and every corner of the Union have more or less said “can the media and firebrand politicians chill out before we all start getting bumped off?”. I’m paraphrasing, of course.

      Seriously why is everyone surprised that other people who have to take a public political stance, and stand at a podium and trust their security, are now asking to not get killed at their job?

      Can’t. There’s no money in calmness and cooperation. Gotta keep people divided and fearful to keep printing fat stacks.

        If you read between the lines the messaging is “holy fuck, you got people killed in 2020. Cut this shit out because you’re getting people killed again”.

            Correct.

            The pot-stirring also exacerbated rioting in the summer of 2020, too. Both of those events got the media to lay off a little bit, but that only lasted for a little while.
