the political violence was already here, it's just very slightly less one-sided now

There's even a chance this is right wing infighting

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Mfer we are publicly celebrating it

There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

I think of them every time I cut, chop, or saw something :sicko-wistful:

People die every single day because of the political descisions of the ruling class. Political violence is an every day reality. Liberals just think our deaths are acceptable because we should of "made better decisions" or "worked harder" or whatever. But people are killed every day no differently than if they were shot. And then let's not for get that Kirk incited right wing terrorism against people. But he wears a tie and has a nice job in media so they view him as human.

Fuck liberals

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fuck your Democratic process. That process is currently engaged in a genocide and has engaged in sanctions that have killed millions fuck yo tears political violence has ALWAYS been endorsed

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month ago

Watching an absolute implosion of lib in-fighting right now 🤣..

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Noo the Democratic process that was going to kick in any day now if only you tankies had just voted for genocide!

[–] SmithrunHills@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

American liberals are such fucking cucks. Republicans literally were hollering and celebrating when I think it was Nancy Pelosi or someone else in the Dems got shot at, but sure, let's lionize the fucking bigoted POS propagandist who promoted hateful ideologies and violence towards minorities. Palestinian children being bombed at by Israel? Completely justified and they even make some milquetoast "it's bad that they did it but what can you do?" and then claim it's actually good if it means killing "Hamas terrorists". Vietnamese and Iraqi civilians who did literally nothing to them but whom they've been propagandized to think are evil scum who deserve to be invaded and brutally murdered? Well, we don't care about those people, it's the vets who are the innocent smol bean victims! When they go low we go "how hard, sir?"

god i hate the fucking amerikkka so much

Are regular US mass shootings non-political?

[–] heatenconsumerist@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kirk wasn't even the largest school shooting TODAY mate. No, they're only "important/political" when they're adult white males.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

My first thought was of a lib that does not shed any tears re: Palestinians but suddenly thinks its too much if a white public figure eats shit. Bleh

Liberals go 'no don't wish for their death' before advocating for military expansion and never stopping the Ukrainian war, Atleast be honest this time this guy deserved to get shot
