      They’re asking if he was on anti-depressants. Everyone else is a murderer, terrorist, what have you. When it’s one of theirs? Just a misguided kid on SSRIs.

        Contrast with keying a car and being labeled a terrorist. By scratching a cybertruck, you become an enemy of the state—something a republican school shooter could never dream of.

    Young white men are being indoctrinated with 24/7 propaganda telling them they are the real victims

          I’m sorry, I try to keep my media intake low, but what is being said that makes these white men feel like victims? Or, portraying them as the victim?

            Are you really fully unaware of incels, the manosphere, and the alt-right pipeline? This shit is all over social media.

            There’s a strong encouragement for men to fall into this “redpill” philosophy that casts everyone who doesn’t look like them, especially anyone who ends up on the less-privileged end of any measure of intersectional privilege, as an aggressor attempting to steal their place in society and “replace” them.

            Have you heard anyone complaining about how you can’t make jokes anymore or can’t compliment women anymore? They’re echoing a hallucination of white male oppression by queer feminist socialists. In response they elected Trump and spend their days rumbling around in their massive coal-rolling pickup trucks that have never seen a speck of dirt or a heavier load than a few groceries or maybe a couch.

    They were saying he was an illegal all over MAGAtard social media. Until the facts came out. Then they started deleting in mass to cover up their lies.

    I was recently thinking it’s says a lot about a culture, where kids shoot up schools regularly, but immigrants getting a terrible treatment never seem to shoot up an ICE office or other government building.

      People in US culture want to think this is a product of white christian men getting hurt and isolated to the point that the poor innocent souls wander into committing a school shooting.

      The negative mental health is only part of the equation and isn’t even critical to it, what IS critical is teaching christian white men that they have the inherent right given who they are to commit violence and nobody else does.

      This is why you see that “incongruity”.

      I think both are part of the same culture to be honest, they are just in very different positions both pushed to an extreme situation (the kids shooting up schools and the government officials threating immigrants like crap). Personally I believe you get what you give and this is the result of a society that is getting what it has been giving (or not giving, really). Really sad situation where a lot of people get way less than they deserve (the parents of the killed kids, the children of the deported families etc)

        “We need Jesus in schools!”

        No joke, I’ve heard people say that exact thing in response. That taking God out of schools is what started all this, so if there was more prayer in school, we wouldn’t have shootings.

        Yeah, because nobody does mass shootings in religious places.

    Curious that this is still happening even though Musk has killed the woke mind virus and these guys have won forever.

    Is this where we say: “this wouldn’t have happened if Florida controlled guns like a blue state!” And then offer thoughts and prayers? Seems like how it goes with the shoe on the other foot.

      I’m not aware of any blue state with an effective gun control system. And I’m not saying that to dunk on Dems but as a general observation of the US as a whole.

      And aren’t “thoughts and prayers” a conservative thing to do? I’m a bit confused by your comment, it’s giving mixed messages.

        yeah our gun control laws suck. even if you are on the side of control, if you look at what we do, how, and why, you will have to admit our gun regulations are dumb.
