I agree with your comments here. It's refreshing to see some semblance of reason on forums/social media. Concerns me with how these venues have become inundated with radical and low brow content. I see it across the political spectrum. Been using forums since the late 90s. Up until the mid-2010s I'd argue there was much much more reasonable discussion to be found. I don't doubt the proportional rise in bots have some play in it. Seems these places of discussion have become nothing more than a plot to sow hate and propaganda within our society. I miss the days when the vast majority of the population thought it silly to participate on these internet places.

    I'm not advocating for ICE's lawlessness nor tolerance for it. I'm just pointing out the stupidity of someone calling out to go murder with next to no context. What I mostly see for comments in this post are people regurgitating talking points and buzz words. Then there are the attacks on me misrepresenting my message or just plain acting like idiots saying nazi, nazi, nazi, ..... To think, these are the people who consider themselves the more educated side. Funny.

    It should be legal to shoot ice agents, on duty or off, particularly if they, as usual, are masked and not following police procedures.

    This isn't self-defense, it's just plain murder. While I don't agree with ICE wearing masks and acting lawless, calling for more violence is not the way. Don't become the very thing you hate.

    Looks like you have a misunderstanding of what a mathematical proof is. I have but a mere bachelor's in applied mathematics and employed as a statistical engineer for a couple decades now. If a proof is successful at showing a mathematical statement is true, it's a done deal. It doesn't work like science which relies on mathematical models to explain its anecdotes.
