Why was this life worth more than a school shooting victim or a starving Palestinian child?

I wish the left was 1% as active and mobilized as the right claims it is.

[–] Guidy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I wish the left were as armed as the right, because armed citizens are harder to oppress.

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

When leftists stop the purity tests, they will mobilize.

So literally never.

The fucking Reichstag fire.

Of all the things you could invoke.

Edit: seriously, this is doing my head in. I've been staring at this for several minutes.

Edit2: Just to be sure because this is fucking important: if all you know about the fire is that it's related to the Nazis, I implore you to read even just the first paragraph of the Wikipedia entry.

"we're the Nazis, and we're so glad that we can use this as an excuse to continue doing Nazi shit"

[–] don@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 days ago

Shit Nazis doing Nazi shit. It’s as republican as republicans get.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 6 points 5 days ago

It used to be called Godwin's Law, but what if the probability is one right from the start?

It's the same rhetoric even the president was using before this.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 52 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Seems like they're scared in all honesty. This woke them up from their cocaine delusions of being untouchable.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Good. I hope they remain scared for the rest of their pathetic lives.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

They only have two settings: angry or scared.

Why was this life worth more than a school shooting victim or a starving Palestinian child?

Or the life of Melissa Hortman?

I mean, I know exactly why, but I would like to hear them explain it.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pure insanity. Good luck America; you're gonna need it. Fuck knows rationalty has gone out the window. All the loudest voices are fucking maniacs.

[–] popjam@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

NFL just held a one minute silence for Kirk to a packed stadium. Mass psychosis

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Did anyone tell the NFL that today was 9/11?

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

And about the other school shooting?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

For a man that could never just shut the fuck up.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I hope people shouted over it

[–] amotio@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

My screen almost cracked from the compacted stupidity in thus picture. I am so glad I don't live in USA. Not saying we have it that much better where I live, we have elections around the corner and our village idjits are loud, but atleast we do't have THIS.

I am sorry America.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 days ago

“DISTRACT THEM FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES!”

Fascist rightists are so transparent.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago

they are setting up the premise to attack the "left" so just in case its more than likely a right winger, they can say see they are not so bad, or he was a register dem at some point.

[–] aviationeast@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Pretty sure with the rhetoric the shooter was a MAGA supporter.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Surely, you don't mean those "leaked" internal investigation documents written under the oversight of right-wing cronies that describe the bullets as having "transgender" and "anti-fascist" writing on them aren't absolute, indisputable proof that the shooter was a radical commie? What are you, reasonable?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 5 days ago

I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't a government operation. The gun nutters from either side have never shown evidence of being that good a shot.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 7 points 5 days ago

Because they’re not in the ingroup

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Seriously the left needs to get better at mobilizing and calling them all out. We need constant content so when this stuff happens it's easier to pull from and show them the shit they said

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

The mental gymnastics here hurt my brain

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

Of course they are. They only know hate and weirdness. It is who they are.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's always violent rhetoric from right-wingers. Shit, even Tom McDonald put out a song condemning leftists before they even had a suspect. It's crazy to me how easily they're fooled by the machine.

[–] Joeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

This is just normal projection like always...
