#32> Think twice before sending a message, even over Signal. You will likely not be able to predict when you will be sued, investigated, or otherwise thrown into the lime-light. Or, radical new idea here, how about conduct yourself in a reasonable way where if everyone in the world read your text messages you wouldn't be fired or go to jail?
It wasn't that long ago homosexuality was illegal and considered a medical condition.
There are plenty of other examples for why this is a bad excuse to not secure communication.

Are we asserting here that the traditional rules of martial engagement are the same across all cultures in the world? Or we are saying that European cultures are not fairly similar to one another in this regard, due to a shared religious heritage? I’m confused what people are angry about here.
There are no "traditional rules of martial engagement." White people surround, mob up on and beat the shit out of people just as much as people of any other race. To imply that white people are above such behavior (and thus that other races are less civilized) is a white supremacist and racist mentality.
But you already knew that.

My dad always said "Don't do anything you wouldn't want people to read about in tomorrow's newspaper".
Many people also say "What would Jesus do?"
No one can live like Christians believe Jesus did, but it's a guide. No one can be perfectly honest and moral 100% in their lives. It's a principle.
I think the point of the OP comment is "the first lesson Tucker should get out of the ordeal is not being a racist fascist, rather than cover your tracks when you're a racist fascist."
I also think it's valuable for people to know just how revealing text messages can be, and so if you have any valid concern about being targeted by the state, clearing your communications history is wise.

There are so many things you can do that are ethical and illegal. Or ethical and legal and would still piss a lot of people off. Or, how about just wanting to rant off the record with friends?

Yet, that is oftentimes the reality. You _are_ being watched (online).

You inferred a lot of stuff that quote doesn't actually say.

The small political portion of this post is almost irrelevant to the message.

Yes, it actually does. You've never had intrusive thoughts or been caught up in mob/tribalisitc mentality?
The excerpt you quoted makes it worse. In it, he acknowledges that he has absolutely no empathy for the person being beaten. Yea, great clarification! thanks! And no, I have not fantasized about a mob beating a person to death.
No, it doesn't make it worse.
I loathe Tucker and am joyous to see him fall. He is a disgraceful human.
BUT, for him to say "I had this thought, and I don't like it. Even though I don't like a person, I realize I shouldn't wish him to be harmed because that kind of thinking is toxic" shows self reflection and a desire to not be the bitter death-wishing brand of human.
