"As Tim Walz Encourages Resistance, Minnesota ‘ICE Watch’ Declares ‘Time Is Ripe To Embrace Militancy’"
https://freebeacon.com/crime/as-tim-walz-encourages-resistance-minnesota-ice-watch-declares-time-is-ripe-to-embrace-militancy/
"We within the belly of this imperial beast face a turning point," [MN ICE Watch said]. "After seven full months during which our protests have utterly failed to slow the gears of the war machine, there is nothing left to do but escalate" (emphasis theirs). "The time is ripe to embrace militancy on the ground, both to keep ourselves safer, and as a demonstration of our commitment to the words ‘by any means necessary.'"
"Miltancy" can only mean pseudo-military violence.
On Wednesday evening [in wake of calls for "miltancy"], Walz told residents [not to calm down, but] to continue resisting ICE...[he said it's] "a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government."
I don't think you're reading at 100% here. That article pretty clearly says "Minnesota ‘ICE Watch’ Declares ‘Time Is Ripe To Embrace Militancy’" That is: "ICE Watch" said "embrace militancy" not Walz. I also don't see that article quoting Walz saying "resist ICE", the author of that article claims Walz is calling to resist ICE. This is the only quote in that article from Walz:
Let’s be very, very clear: This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it is a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government
Nothing in that is a threat of rebellion or a call for escalation. So: so far, the only ACTUAL quote from Walz is a quote we agree is a call for deescalation. You keep throwing random, unrelated quotes from other people, as though that indicts Walz.
AND...... What u worry about little ol' me when I notice it
No, I was worried he threatened rebellion, as I said above. That's why I looked through his tweets and statements, like I said in my initial reply. When I couldn't find it (again, because I was concerned about a governor doing such a horrible thing), I asked you. At the time, I fully expected you to be like, "Oh, here's where he threatened rebellion, <insert quote here>". That has not happened, and in fact the opposite has been established (namely: Walz calling for deescalation).
Now it's more an issue of honor (in this case: your honor) of being willing to retract the claim or substantiate it with an actual Walz quote threatening rebellion. I value, and assume you would value, making statements rooted in truth, with clear evidence to support them. When I err (as we all inevitably do), I try to be forthright in correcting the error. It always stings a bit to say, "oops, I was wrong." But it's not hard, it's part of learning. I remember once hearing "changing your mind is the best way to show you still have one." I view it as part of that process for myself, as well as my honor and duty to my fellow humans, when I err.
All that matters at this point in the conversation (absent a clear, direct quote from Walz threatening rebellion), is this: Do you still have a mind, and the honor to admit Walz had certainly not threatened rebellion when you wrote that?
