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

    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.

      Yeah, but the reality is that it’s very hard to spot a ‘leftist’, whereas MAGAts tend to make it the primary part of their personality, and display it in their trucks, yards, clothing, etc.

      MAGAT’s have perceived threats, but they wouldn’t know what the enemy looked like if it were right in front of them. They make themselves vulnerable to guerrilla attacks. I mean it’s literally like a bunch of dipshit British soldiers standing around in red jackets with muskets.

          What the fuck are you even talking about? The vast majority of people are to the left of MAGAts. But they’re just normal people. MAGAts go out of their way to make sure everyone knows exactly who they are, and what they think

            I thought you meant actual leftists. I see now you had it in quotes so if you mean anyone to the left of MAGA then yes there are many such people. Probably about 60% or more of the country.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    “DISTRACT THEM FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES!”

    Fascist rightists are so transparent.

      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?

      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.

    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
