Mass Shooting thread

Ostfriese · 06-21-22, 11:50 PM

Argumentations among Americans (not just politicians) these days seem to be a simple "we against them", with arguments reduced to "it's their fault" and the population at each others' throats, while the richest 1% fleece the rest of the nation relentlessly and a minority of christian fundamentalists dominates the reshaping of society which already produces far more losers than it can handle.

Quite obviously this occasionally creates preople who go on rampage, but it's seemingly never treated seriously for more than a few days of the usual round of arguments ("their fault" "no, their fault" "guns" "no guns" "thoughts and prayers" "we can't do anything") before fading out in the similarily usual "nothing" that is actually done. In the end everyone waits for the next shooting, hoping it won't be his/her kids' and relatives' names being listed on the NY Times front page for the entire world to see.
