1. On the left, @UWaterloo professor @EmmMacfarlane says “Burn Congress down”. In grammar, that’s the imperative tense, like saying “Go.” He called for violence. On the right, his lying non-apology where he pretends it was just something he’d “rather see”. Low character liar. 
2. Calling for violence against people simply because they hold a different point of view is morally disqualifying for any serious person. But Macfarlane is a professor, and young students are under his power. Does he threaten them with violence too? Does he bully his students?
3. We all screw up from time to time, especially arrogant professors who aren’t used to dissent. But Macfarlane won’t acknowledge what he actually said and he hasn’t apologized for it. Because he is not apologetic — he meant it. And he’s trying to blame other people! #sociopath
4. The grossest part is that he’s now trying to invoke “cancel culture” and to play the victim. Sorry Boomer, threatening your political opponents with violence, and then lying about it, doesn’t make you a victim. It just shows you’re untrustworthy and morally weak.
