THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE TO ARM UP AND BE SEEN READY TO FIGHT

These people know you're a doormat and a pushover.

I have to admit, one of my first emotional responses was anger. I want vengeance. When will we see the day the bullies, abusers, murderers, and their enablers receive justice?

Not civilized "justice" in court rooms, on pieces of paper, with well-dressed men and women arguing politely over legal arcana.

Blood for blood. There should be a mortal fear that if they harm one hair on our heads, something worse will happen to them by far.

Don't tell me this won't bring anyone back. Don't tell me to be better than our enemies. If you will assault someone over their skin color, gender, sexual orientation, you don't deserve the breath of life.

The problem with mob justice is lack of due process. It frequency gets the wrong person as it can't be reasoned with.

The problem with mob justice is that it can be leveraged directly in to fascism. This is exactly what happened with the French Revolution and the Soviet one. In both cases valid anger against oppression was directed in to paranoia that allowed for the reestablishment of an authoritarian order instead of liberation. Anger is foolish and easily manipulated. That's why it's the only emotion the right wants anyone to experience. That's why it's the only emotion patriarchy allows men to express.

Anger is good for destroying things. Some things need to be destroyed. But those things that need to be destroyed are systems, not people.

Anger is activating and should absolutely drive you to action, but the action you take shouldn't also be decided by the anger. Let anger wake you up, and compassion guide the action you take.

History repeats itself, at least most of the time. That's why we should learn from the past because humans haven't changed that much in the way we think under certain circumstances.

Just fyi, the new york post is as dogshit as fox news. If you're looking to get actual information, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Conservatism is a plague of oppression, violence and death. It always has been. There is no place in a modern society for conservatism.

When you see your conservative neighbors, co-workers and relatives, remember they killed this innocent child. They did this.

"Owasso police issued a subsequent statement on 21 February to say that an autopsy indicated that Nex had not died as a result of trauma." STFU

[–] KredeSeraf@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes. The totally normal spontaneous death of a 16 year old completely unrelated to the physical trauma suffered just before. You conservative apologists are always so fast to jump to conspiracy, why not now?

[–] Shenanigore@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Mostly I wanted to tell you drama queen fucks to stfu bout blaming half a nation.

[–] Shenanigore@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you understand anything people say to you or do you just twist the meaning and play dumb to score points in your own head?

Oh don't worry, I understand dog whistles very well 😋😋😋
