You made a very specific, very inflammatory claim.

>I have personally witnessed violent statements on Twitter over several years usually coming from leftists such as AOC.

Kindly provide the evidence or admit your claim was mistaken.



A clearer more accurate statement than the parent statement would be:

I have personally witnessed violent statements on Twitter over several years. Postmodern leaders, such as AOC, have encouraged low levels of violence using the Twitter platform.

This definition of violence is meant to describe violence as a spectrum which includes the destruction of property and destruction of job prospects of conservative individuals.

As far as I know, AOC has NOT tweeted the worst levels of violence. I apologize for using AOC as the primary example. If I could edit the parent statement I would because she is NOT the best example. It is also possible there is a less inflammatory word to describe cancel culture and property destruction than violence; I don't want to mix two things up.

The AOC tweets I was referring are below:

- Encouraging riots.

AOC, protests/riots threat: https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1334184644707758080

"The thing that critics of activists don’t get is that they tried playing the “polite language” policy game and all it did was make them easier to ignore."

- Encouraging cancel culture.

AOC list tweet, is now deleted but was widespread. https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/132481791745673625...

Other tweets I've seen:

Mike Adams bashing soon after suicide before burial: https://twitter.com/ProfeRandolph/status/1286440502271901707

Most Rand Paul violent tweets were deleted. Most were anonymous. This is where Kelly Paul states her memories of the tweets. https://twitter.com/KelleyAshbyPaul/status/13483463720434524...

Hang Mike Pence as recent example. Most of these were deleted. https://twitter.com/TeaPainUSA/status/1348828960679997440
