    but all the right wingers on social media were saying that it’s so telling that there’s no riots when somebody on the right dies???

      I think people have a pretty distorted view of the cultural background of ww2: Folks were anti-Nazis because they were “the bad guys”, not because of their ideology. I mean, sure , a fair few people probably thought fascism was shit but the popular acrimony against Germany et al was not anti-fascist in essence. it was simply old-fashioned war and they were the enemy.

      Just like all the racist jokes your shitty uncle made about Saddam in the 90s and/or 2000s

      I’m sure that’s exactly what they were all thinking as they let some air out of their monster truck tries and made sure the 37 flags were all set before they drove onto the beach with their cooler full of natty daddies.

      Ignore reality. Fight against your perceived threats. The blacks, immigrants, women who stand up to you, and people who make you feel bad.

    But these “white men” have been doing all the mass shootings these past 10 years so I hope they fight themselves.

    Woe is me, the persecuted man at the top of the hierarchy! Look how small my slice of the pyramid is! Nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen!

    … dude, just wear eyeliner and listen to My Chemical Romance like the rest of us did in our teens and you’ll eventually fit in. You’ll outgrow it.

      Absolutely, when white men are being oppressed, it’s generally by other white men. So I guess white men are fighting back against other white people. But no that’s not it, for some reason they are oppressing minorities of all kinds instead, because skin color and culture scares them. In fact everything scares them, like science and everything based on reason even human rights are scaring them now, so they want to take them away.
      Why? Because they are so fucking stupid, they are scared of everything about society, because they understand nothing, and that makes them scared.
      You don’t have to be white for that, problem is when the majority with all the money and power feel that way, things must have gone completely haywire in that society. They are oppressed by their own, but blame everybody else!!!

      Regarding Charlie Kirk specifically, he was white right wing extremist who condoned gun violence, who was killed by another white right wing extremist, who used gun violence to kill him.

      What the fuck is it they think they are protesting? They are their own worst enemy, not normal sensible people who actually care about other people. Or what they call “radical left”.

          The logic is along the lines:
          I’m starving and they want to give everybody food. But I don’t want everybody to have food, I want more food just for ME!.

          And:
          They want freedom of religion (normalo people) , but as a right wing extremist I don’t want that, I want all religious privileges for MY religion, and none for the others. So I can discriminate them, but they can’t discriminate me.

          There is no living peacefully with such people, they hate everything that is in any way different from themselves, and they are selfish to a degree they believe they are somehow entitled to have it better than other people.

          And the “somehow” is because of their race and their religion which is barely religion, because they have zero actual religious knowledge, it’s merely a faith they believe agree with all their own prejudices about the world,and their sense of entitlement.

          It’s insane that so many humans have such low intelligence. And I’m not talking about learning from books and being good at science, the bigger problem is that any sensible social intelligence is completely gone for very large parts of American society, and we just saw it’s a problem in UK too.

            Yeah, it’s all about in groups and out groups… which is about controlling people by making them part of a group and others not…
