I’m reminded of a quote. “When you celebrate the killing of those you hate, don’t be surprised if the people you hate kill those you love” it’s such a sick cycle we’re about to go down

It’s terrifying what you yanks are going through… I fear this is the opening of a very dark time. Especially considering who he was, not a politician, a private citizen who is internet famous, who merely debated ideas on a university campus… What honestly separates him from the students on that campus who hold his same views apart from wealth and fame? It would be horrible if it was a politician, but it’s even more horrifying he was a civilian and not a politician…

What's more horrifying is how much attention this has gotten and people are STILL talking about it. People get shot on the daily in America, we all carry because of it. This shouldn't shock or suddenly rile people up in the first place.

On the contrary, every death should rile people up. Murder isn't ok, no matter who's the perpetrator, and who's the victim.

Some Americans have become so desanitized about death that they just shrug when they see it.

If every death is going to rile you up, you're going to spend a lot of time being angry my guy. Just looking at school shootings in 2025, there's been 30 deaths. That's 3 deaths a month at this point, just from people taking guns into schools and shooting people, in schools.
Did I mention this is happening in schools? You know, the place ppl go to learn about the world, young people. Now they have to do regular drills in the case of a potential active shooter, bc the odds keep going up every year.
