Pretty simple to see how drawing a comparison between Kirk and myself, and then directly referencing myself in a manner that references how Kirk died, would be taken as an implication that I should be shot to death publicly. It’s a dogwhistle, vague enough to deny but clear enough that those who want to see it that way will.

Maybe you didn’t mean to do it, but I am certain others do want me killed. Communists being killed isn’t exactly anything new, if I told the wrong person that I’m a communist and I was alone, I could be dead today.
