Even the Gestapo had the spine to show their faces.

... I graduated with my degree in 2011, lol.

Just in 2025 alone, there's been more than 300 mass shootings in the United States, and there's still a whole quarter to go.

Charlie Kirk literally "died as he lived":

Twisting the truth, to the cheers of the Far Right.

The answer was 5. In the last five years.

Now, he's right in one way. ONE mass shooting is "Too many", regardless of the perpetrator.

The follow-up, which he never got to respond to, was "Do you know how many mass shootings there have been in he last five years?"

I can't muster much sympathy for the man, but neither do I see this as a "win" for anyone.

Sarcasm aside, the Davis example is actually worse than my hypothetical above, since she was a *public servant* paid by the tax dollars of the people whose rights she demanded to be allowed to ignore.

If your beliefs make you unable to perform your job, then you need to find a different job.

The entire debate is about "Erick's insistence on making blanket statements.

I agree the environment is "chaotic" at the moment. Wild, inflammatory generalizations such as the one he's making do not help.

Statements that begin with "All" do nothing to help the situation you describe.

Nonsense. He's ranting at strangers. It's a purely performative act with zero consequences, that accomplishes nothing other than making him feel better about himself (like any other act of Slactivism).

What makes this worse than other forms of Slactivism is he's lashing out at his own allies.

You could be joining the discussion in a productive way; instead you'd rather browbeat people because it makes you feel better about our inherent place of privilege without actually...

... y'know...

...accomplishing anything useful.

Good luck with that.

Your entire argument predicates around "It's your fault because you didn't do enough."

The problem with that stance is that you don't know a damn thing about what any given person has or hasn't done.

Blanket statements aren't arguments. It's just pseudointellectual bullshit.

I've seen your idea of "talking it out". You've got a lot of blame to fling, but I don't see you doing much. You're not interested in solutions; you just want to yell.

Kindly hush and get out of the way of those of us who are actually trying to fight this.

This reads like intentional rage-bait, 'cause it's a little hard to believe you're actually this dense.

Even if this was true, that doesn't make people fighting it now a bad thing.

1. Review the adage "Never punish behavior you want to see more of," then
2. Take your tantrum elsewhere.
