I don't understand your point; you think it's just fine that people deliberately slandered and lied about a pizza place to the extent that someone believed it, went in with an AR and fired rounds and that's all fine because no one died?
Surely even if you think that was fine, it would have been better than fine if the guy did that same thing to a pizzeria actually was a pedo ring? My comment was only saying that violence induced by outright lies has a relevant difference than violence which is a reaction to things that actually happened. Those seem clearly different even if you think censorship is not a viable or correct solution to "violence induced by misinfo".
You’re excusing violence cause by your party, but demanding change for the other party. Both parties need to stop the violence. Having actually fought in a war, violence is never acceptable unless someone is trying to take your life.
In fairness, American political culture does leak and infect the rest of the English-speaking cultural sphere, so we do have an interest in it.
For example, when Americans went nuts and tried to remove/deface historical statues, here in Finland local Leftist party's youth group suggested removing a statue of Mannerheim. Mannerheim was a war leader during the Finnish Civil War and led the Finnish defense against Russia during WW2.
He's literally one of the primary reasons those Leftist youth organization chucklefucks' parents didn't grow up behind the Iron Curtain, yet they wanted his statue removed. They definitely got the idea from the US.
No one can comment on the mere idea of violence based on lies without having picked a side and defending a specific political agenda now?
To my knowledge it was never the Republican Party's position is that pizzeria was a pedophile ring was it? What should being of a particular political party have to do with it, that event was based on 100% confirmed fake news. There are no conservative or liberal policies seem involved in that story at all?

If it’s unrelated to your politics, yes. What’s the point of you stating your opinion otherwise? Do you realize this can be construed as interference? Would you like Americans commenting on your political issues?
