  • I watched it. Felt nothing.

    I’ve been hyper-aware of the possibility of a school shooting since I was in grade school. I’ve watched Palestinians be murdered for over ten years. I’ve watched poor young Russian idiots and Ukrainian soldiers blown apart for the past three years. And I just saw one of the biggest cheerleaders of all that in the States killed.

    “Sick reality” has nothing on it. A piece of shit who advocated for and contributed to the shittiest of shitty policy in the US, which has led to the deaths of numerous other people, was killed, and by one of the shitty policies he himself advocated (political violence or gun proliferation, as you prefer).

    This isn’t even getting into the ‘less’ severe domestic dangers he was part of pushing forward - the concentration camps for immigrants, the rampant dehumanization of LGBTQ folk, the stripping of medical assistance to the filthy poors who are too sick to be worth keeping alive.

    Fuck him.


















  • I mean, other than some folks jumping in to defend the honor of the Fatherland helpless foreign country which needs terminally online Americans to defend it, I don’t really know that there’d be a big difference in reaction.

    There’s not much here that’s… actually offensive unless you really try to read into it? “Ha ha, debt goes up, major restaurants, car type that’s fucking everywhere despite no reason for it, overused national symbol, food additive, regional hat, flag bikini, national obsession”

    I guess the diabetes bit?

    I don’t really know that an Argentine drawing the same tongue-in-cheek style pic with inflation, whatever national chains are prominent, vehicle jokes, regional dress, a national-team shirt, and a soccer ball would really get a majorly different reaction.
