3/ "the grind" is only a good use of time when it's combined with education related to the work being done. Making sure fonts match is great, by why did the MD want one font over another?

2/ "minor" formatting changes in communication. Even small tweaks to a chart for example influence the takeaways from the viewer in all regards. What are you trying to communicate? What do you want to highlight? What do you want to de-emphasize?

I had a small piece of this later in my career that fortunately was less a "grind" and more about communication. My former colleague @MonocleMan1 liked your tweet. At the UChicago endowment, I worked under a guy who taught me the value of

2/ before anyone chimes in, the lack of anti-fa murders isn't a defense of them. Their actions *could have* resulted in death. But if we're comparing murder rates, anti-fa loses to any right wing group with even 1 murder. It's not 10x, it's infinite, currently.

No....I'm not claiming that anti-fa aren't lefists...I'm pointing out that they haven't killed anyone as far as I can find. Pulse was terrorism committed by a Muslim targeting gay people. You're claiming that the Pulse terrorist was anti-fa? Or left-wing? Or what?

2/ if we want to just look at deaths, then anti-fa isn't even part of the conversation. toddlers with guns literally killed more people than anti-fa, literally, in the past 4 years.

Sorry, 25k? You're multiplying 9/11 deaths by 10? If we want to debate numbers, have to be specific. You also seem to have switched the type of attack. If we're talking anti-fa assaults, have to compare it to broader hate crimes, not just ones resulting in death.

3/ I have no desire to demonize republicans or NRA members or any other group. It doesn't matter. My response to Nick was to counter the common confirmation bias driven belief that muslim or left wing terrorism in the US is much bigger than the facts support.

2/ This whole line of thinking is simplistic partisanship. Who cares what party Lincoln was part of. We should be thinking in terms of values and actions, not party allegiance. This came up because of your claim that anti-fa has existed as a concept for a century -> continuity

"back door".....this is so weird. You're trying to demonize who exactly? Southern KKK democrats who then switched parties? And that's supposed to make modern democrats look bad? Trying to demonize a current political party for anything 50+ years ago is just silly.

2/ this is a really simple partisan line of thinking. My group wants to defend themselves against the bad guys. Sure, my group has some terrorists in it, but they're not really part of my group. The bad guys in the other group though? That's different.

The "self-defense" intended by 2A and articulated by groups like NRA is also to oppose a potentially despotic government. "self-defense" in a very general sense. Not criticizing that. Consider what the anti-fa would argue they're fighting against? (not defending anti-fa)

This is the exact framing used by any group to criticize any other group. "My group is mostly well intentioned with good values; the exceptions are exceptions." What do you think the average anti-fa supporter would say? Give me a steel man argument please.

Consider that the republican and democratic parties switched places on many issues over a century. You honestly think there's a clear and consistent "antifa" philosophy? If so, I have no idea what it is, and I'd wager neither do the participants.

Wrong analogy. It’s hard to talk about anti-fa since there’s a lack of organization and clear ideology, but a statement of support for it by an average American doesn’t mean they’re condoning violence. To some crazy lefties, support for the NRA is supporting school shootings.

You’re ignoring the actual economic incentives in favor of handwavey abstract claims. I think this is why you’re misunderstanding blockstream’s incentives.

2/ is he representative of right wingers or supported by most? Of course not. Same statement applies to *all* terrorists.

Agree that grouping in general is unfair. Dylan isn’t representative of “right wing.” Same issue with labeling any terrorist. It’s always non-representative extremists.

Not true at all. Roof bombed a black church with the hope of inciting a race war (in his own words) as part of his white supremacist philosophy. He expressed support for confederate iconography for example in the midst of the debate over confederate flag.
