Okay, then how about the fact that the books were removed on religious grounds. Please enlighten me as to your justification for how using religion as a pretext is totally fine, but educating children as to the reality of human social interactions, is heinous?

Again, you do not care. It’s just whatever fits your narrative.

Not a historian, but from what history I know, it generally depends on the momentum of the person who was assassinated.

If the assassinee is both a) popular and b) not a force in the status quo, then I would say that generally assassination halts their platform.

If the assassinee is popular, and at work in the status quo, it only serves to make their platform more visible and therefore generally stronger.

One example I can think of of the first situation are the Roman Gracchi, who were populists during the late Roman republic. Assassination of two successive ‘Brothers of the People’ led to a complete rout of their platform - the Lex Agraria.

There are many examples of the second situation - MLK jr. is an easy one. The platform of MLK jr. had already come to be accepted in the nation’s consciousness as right - it is only the logical conclusion of the cessation of legal slavery some 100 years prior. Therefore, when he was assassinated, it only served to justify the directive of the nation.

I’m certainly open to examples exploring exceptions to the two cases provided, as well. I think it’s an interesting topic.

ITT: “Blocking isn’t a necessary feature, specifically because I do not get harassed.” Also: “Because you COULD just make an alt, take the time to make a fake email, and even potentially be required to have a fake ID in the future, muting and blocking are LITERALLY the same thing”

Any disincentive is one more step some spineless bastard has to go through to harass you, even if there are work arounds.
