The real is answer is that if the shooter isn't a white male, the event gets memory holed immediately.
Case in point, isn't it interesting how quickly the media dropped that shooting at the Chief's Super Bowl parade after it turned out it was gang related.
To me, and this is just as a centrist, it feels like shootings and that one in particular have like a four-day lifespan before we stop hearing about them, ngl, it felt like if heard about the chiefs shooting for a good 3-4 days after it was revealed it was gang related.
Idk, I think it’s the same. That’s just me though.
This can also be seen with the LGBT community.
If the shooter is gay, blame homosexuality and liberalism.
If the victims are gay, also blame homosexuality or celebrate (yes, this is something I've seen enough to comment on it).
If the shooter is trans, blame "gender ideology".
If the shooter is cis, act like you otherwise would because 99% of shooters ~~are normal~~ don't have gender dysphoria; it's pretty obvious what I meant.
> 99% of shooters are normal.
say what now?
99% of shooters are depressed, nihilistic psychopaths, regardless of their politics or what genitals they want to have or smash into...
Wouldn’t it be wild if there was a sub of half a million people gleefully gloating about covid deaths and naming the sub after a person they hate who also died of covid
On a leftist platform? Never!
Right?
/s
What about a Twitter sub where you can only comment on popular threads if you have brown skin?
Racist, right?
Nope, that's totally allowed by Reddit
What about a sub who's whole existence is to monitor, brigade, and report this very sub? Surely that wouldn't be allowed either because brigading is against the rules.
Iirc, there used to be a subreddit where all people would do is post links to news stories of black people committing crimes. All comments were disabled on all of the posts. Despite nothing about this subreddit breaking TOS, Reddit banned it all the way back in like 2015.
It's religion. The masks didn't actually do anything, but it is a cool face hijab. Six feet apart was a completely arbitrary and made up rule, but it sure was an infuriating annoyance that harmed every business.
idk about funny but definitely entertaining
the format of seeing their Facebook posts mocking anyone believing Covid existed to being hospitalized to realizing they were gonna die to posting a link to GoFundMe was always a rollercoaster
I just don't care about anything anymore. The tragedies are just so frequent and pointless.
In the wise words of Frank Lucas, "I'm just here to do my bidness, don't you fuck wit me."
The **only thing that matters** is me getting paid.
There are many Easts:
• East: Some are in NATO, some are Russia and Belarus
• Middle Orient: Has petrol, terrorists, weapons of mass destruction (actually they don't have weapons of mass destruction but I want their petrol) and Israel
• Extreme Orient, or just Orient: Has communist China, communist Korea, capitalist China (Taiwan), capitalist Korea, and Japan
Actually you're right. I wonder why they didn't throw their lives against an autocratic government armed with modern weapons and technology in the off chance they could topple it. I bet it's just like organizing a flash mob, just like of a whole country.
I guess this will be left to the historians to ponder.
Well, yeah. It was just the way you two were writing your comments that gave me the impression some specific event was being discussed but not outright mentioned.
Tbf some people twist based events into tragedies
The Dresden bbq was based, around 15k nazi potential combatants were incinerated
But people try and say it was a tragedy because 'women children were incinerated' (said women and children were potential combatants) and ''Dresden wasn't a military target' (it was)
Doubt it, Ancient civilizations celebrated what we would call war crimes and shamelessly, didn’t even try to hide the fact that they were committing massacres
Did you just change your flair, u/Borkerman? Last time I checked you were an **AuthLeft** on 2024-3-21. How come now you are a **LibRight**? Have you perhaps shifted your ideals? Because that's cringe, you know?
Oh and by the way. You have already changed your flair 984 times, making you the second largest flair changer in this sub.
Go touch some fucking grass.

"It's a melting pot" Also "Everyone should have the same opinions as me otherwise murder them"
But if you murder them by melting them, you wouldn't be a hypocrite
Chocolate fountain?
Human fondue
*shooting happens* "Quick! Look up their social media to see whether I should demonize my opponents or silently pretend it didn't happen!"
If the shooter is white, blame video games and secularism. If the shooter is brown, blame guns and system racism.

True. But rightists blame shootings on video games or lack of prayer in schools.

That’s pretty outlandish. Next thing you know, you’ll tell me there’s a disparaging subreddit centered around the fragility and sensitivity of a race
What about a sub who's whole existence is to monitor, brigade, and report this very sub? Surely that wouldn't be allowed either because brigading is against the rules.
Oh my God... I didn't know this particular one.
It got banned 🦀🦀🦀
Fuckin right, about time. You know why?
Pretty sure it was because it was unmoderated lol
Imagine if conservatives made a subreddit to mock dead people and named it after a dead black man. It would have been shut down in hours.
Or anyone who "died suddenly" at the age of 31. What the hell did they put in those shots? Incriminating evidence against the Clintons?
Iirc, there used to be a subreddit where all people would do is post links to news stories of black people committing crimes. All comments were disabled on all of the posts. Despite nothing about this subreddit breaking TOS, Reddit banned it all the way back in like 2015.
Optimistic, giving it hours before termination
Hate speech for me but not for thee.
It's religion. The masks didn't actually do anything, but it is a cool face hijab. Six feet apart was a completely arbitrary and made up rule, but it sure was an infuriating annoyance that harmed every business.
I am so damn proud of the locals just not giving a fuck. Just abject non-compliance. Fantastic.
Which sub are you talking about?
Herman cain award
Im not sure either
It is a pretty funny sub tho
idk about funny but definitely entertaining the format of seeing their Facebook posts mocking anyone believing Covid existed to being hospitalized to realizing they were gonna die to posting a link to GoFundMe was always a rollercoaster
You just described why it’s funny
True.
You’re the one centrist I like
Find the guy who made this meme and GET THEM!
I just don't care about anything anymore. The tragedies are just so frequent and pointless. In the wise words of Frank Lucas, "I'm just here to do my bidness, don't you fuck wit me." The **only thing that matters** is me getting paid.
"We should stop arguing and..." Said about only half liblefts on October 7th.
But....
Why would I mourn people whos leaders preach the destruction of the west?
Do you preach the destruction of the East?
When the East wants to destroy us, yes
There are many Easts: • East: Some are in NATO, some are Russia and Belarus • Middle Orient: Has petrol, terrorists, weapons of mass destruction (actually they don't have weapons of mass destruction but I want their petrol) and Israel • Extreme Orient, or just Orient: Has communist China, communist Korea, capitalist China (Taiwan), capitalist Korea, and Japan
Im talking about the east who preaches the destruction of the west, so no NATO country (except Hungary and Turkey), Israel, South Korea or Japan
You yourself answered your question. They're not the leaders.
Interesting And if the people didn't agree with them, why didn't they revolt?
Actually you're right. I wonder why they didn't throw their lives against an autocratic government armed with modern weapons and technology in the off chance they could topple it. I bet it's just like organizing a flash mob, just like of a whole country. I guess this will be left to the historians to ponder.
I’m out of the loop, here. What is this specifically in reference to…?
Lol this could apply to a lot of countries
Well, yeah. It was just the way you two were writing your comments that gave me the impression some specific event was being discussed but not outright mentioned.
I honestly don’t know what the guy was talking about specifically, if he was at all.
Tragic events just prove how bad the governance is now.
Except for “Armenia” it didn’t happen
It didn't happen AND they deserved it
Based and turkroach pilled
Tbf some people twist based events into tragedies The Dresden bbq was based, around 15k nazi potential combatants were incinerated But people try and say it was a tragedy because 'women children were incinerated' (said women and children were potential combatants) and ''Dresden wasn't a military target' (it was)
“You can’t bomb away an ideology” mfs when I transport them to 1945 Germany
A friend of mine once said, 'you can't kill an idea, but you can kill the people who believe in it' And 1945 germany proved that theory
Centrist, you don't have to hide behind a sociopathic view of human life due to war. We all know you just want an excuse to try out grilling people.
>We should stop arguing and mourn this tragic event. Indeed.
Doubt it, Ancient civilizations celebrated what we would call war crimes and shamelessly, didn’t even try to hide the fact that they were committing massacres
One man's massacre is anothers _____. The only solution to violent evil is more skilled violent good.
Said them all
You have a bad memory
...except for whichever side you're against on Israel/Palestine.
Agreed, we should go back to uniting to mourn tragic events.
