Have I been missing something?
The recent shooter of Charlie Kirk didn't write any manifesto or anything like Luigi Magione. Both had massive impacts and people are just waiting for this shooter to tell them what to be angry and do something about it, but in reality it'll just confirm what they think but most won't do a single thing to act on these manifesto. I believe people should actually act in their own little way to make things better. Be that what you dedicate towards, form community with others. Create social networks of caring about the people near to you. Volunteer in events, participate in organizing.
There has to be more than just anger that boils till the water evaporates.
Since the Kirk shooting, there has also been the ice shooter any now a church shooter.
I think the day of the church shooting (the more recent one) there were two other mass shootings.
It is quite odd to become numb to this. I remember coming home from school and seeing the columbine shooting on every channel, it being a discussion for weeks and months.
They used to be rare enough to be named. Now they are so common I have to qualify which recent church shooting I’m talking about. I saw a headline recently that just said “3 mass shootings today” and I didn’t even bother to find out the details.
The details barely ever change, the response is always the same nothing, the people in power just don’t care. Over time even if you do care you just become exhausted. There’s literally not enough time to process one mass shooting before the next.
And now fascism has arrived and has decided it wants to make war against the citizens, so it’s a bad disarm. The loudest gun owners are excited about this turn of events, but they aren’t the only gun owners.
Part of me thinks this is all to the benefit of the owner class. A scared population is easier to control, just promise them safety. An isolated population that has no third place to go to due to the threat of violence is easier to exploit. They don’t fix it because it’s working just fine for them.
Yeah kirk was weeks ago. This is America, blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne
