Yeah I don't think they were talking about keyboard warriors that would never actually do anything.

If keyboard warriors aren't effective, then why are they among the first people that dictators go after?

If keyboard warriors aren't effective, why do MAGAs put so much effort into the Conservative Propaganda Machine?

They are ineffective. Dictators tend to suppress all dissident speech, not keyboard warriors specifically. Also, they can't go after anyone not in their country. Obviously, the internet gives people that ability.

Most of the keyboard warriors I've seen are non-American. Trying to egg us on into indiscriminate violence.

Even if the keyboard warrior won't actually do something, that doesn't excuse you from doing the same.

I'm not the one calling for indiscriminate violence. Sheer stupidity playing directly into Trump's hands.

Who's calling for indiscriminate violence? I'm all for carefully targeted violence. Let's make it count.
