Possibly the worst defense yet of Garry Tan’s tweeting of death threats towards San Francisco’s elected legislature. In yet more evidence for my “HN is a Nazi bar” thesis, this take is from an otherwise-respected cryptographer and security researcher. Choice quote:

Best sneer so far is this comment, which links to this Key & Peele sketch about violent rap lyrics in the context of gang violence.
And this is why whenever I send non-threats to people I oppose politically, I prefer black metal or WP skinhead lyrics.
Silmänkantamattomiin jää silmät sokaisee Viima täynnä vimmaa viiltää läpi käsien Vuoret ympäröivät saalistaan, niin vailla uskoa Mistä voimme täällä elää? Mistä löydämme tien eteenpäin?

I’d feel pretty threatened if someone suddenly began messaging me in Finnish if not for the fact that I am Finnish myself.
