I know they’re going to say it is only jokes. Fuck that. I get y’all want to be edgelords, but this is the most dangerous thing that has happened this century. I would be surprised now if we make it to the end of the year without some people getting assassinated for real, and it will target overwhelmingly the leftest end of the spectrum.

Example, example, example. There are others.

Y’all are on the precipice of finding out firsthand the difference between “OMG I’m so oppressed, the police are racist and I’m struggling to pay my bills, civil war y’all” and “OMG I’m so oppressed, a gang of big violent fuckers with bats and boots and the support of the government just attacked my whole community, seriously hurt me, and burned part of my house down. They told us if they find us here tomorrow, they’ll kill us.”

    I’m not saying it was a smart thing for the shooter to do, or that I’m celebrating this event or what it could’ve been, I’m just saying that it’s perfectly normal and understandable for an oppressed peoples to not have sympathy for the misfortune of their oppressor.

    Plus, the whole advocating for political violence is NOT a sign of a healthy society

    Yes, we are not a healthy society
