"Politically motivated assassinations"? Should we bring up the comparative list of politically-motivated extremist incidents in the US and see which side is enacting most of the violence?

Yeah this happened once during the 2020 July protests in Serbia. As we walked, we passed a WW2 memorial and the guy leading the group took a moment to stop, comment on it and chant "death to fascism" a few times. Then out of the blue two guys started yelling "death to communism".
To be fair, "death to fascism, freedom to the people" is a communist slogan known by everyone from ex-Yugoslavia, but getting triggered by someone disavowing fascism right next to a statue that shows how fascists murdered civilians in raids in your own city is... worrying.

The next chant should be "death to fascism, death to capitalism"
Fascism is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. We need to go back to the correct timeline. Socialism was the improvable system. Capitalism is social darwinism (read: a lie)

For some reason there seems to be this idea that everything must either be fascist or communist or somewhere between. Like they don't believe in the existence of other political philosophies.
They're obsessed with the political spectrum being one-dimensional, it isn't.

Weird how every anticommunism turns out to be fascism putting on a performance for libs.

All they ever do is “No, u…!”
Haven't had an original thought since 1936.

Including the ones in Minnesota today?
The Minnesota ones are particularly interesting. The Democrats had a one-seat advantage in both chambers of the Minnesota legislature. The assassin specifically targeted one Democratic member of each chamber. The Minnesota House is now tied, and the Senate will be tied until Hoffman is able to work or (or Minnesota allows it, I'm not sure) is about to designate someone to vote for him.

Can't cast Wish @ level 9. Gotta be at least level 17. Git good newb

"I cast that wish at level 9" is a weird phrasing. So far as I know Wish is already level 9, so there's no other level to cast it at. Older editions had "limited wish" but I don't believe they had upcasting. It feels very "how do you do fellow children"

It's kinda "fellow kids" but also a lot people don't know the rules of the games they play.
This one's a fascist tho, so fuck them.

I don't want to be fair to fascists but the current social context does align leftism with labeling the fascists/GOP as "fascists".
Similarly to how 15 years ago someone shouting "let's go, Brandon!" would make you check that hadn't been teleported into the middle of a little league baseball game versus now where you just check how close the nearest exit is.
Edit:
We know who the fascists are. They know they're fascists. There's no reason to act like this was some Rube-Goldbergian word trap that caught out a hidden impostor. This just tripped up an idiot who probably hasn't mastered walking and using slurs at the same time yet. Their masks have already been torn off ages ago. If y'all think playing coy with fascists is some great, newsrag "SLAM" then have fun.

There should be rules that disincentive assassination so this doesn't happen again.

I suppose I shouldn't say anything bad about Nazis, either, since the GOP gets compared to Nazis? Give me a break. Maybe instead of listening for dog-whistles, they should look into why those comparisons are being made in the first place.

Specifically, any one party shouldn't be able to take advantage of a momentary shift in power due to an assassination of a member in the other party.

Do I sound like I care that Nazis are malding? If so, pardon me. I'm just saying it doesn't feel like much of a gotcha to say "they're answering to 'fascists'!" when they're rightfully called "fascist" more than their political party nowadays.
