Because I’m sick of seeing the same trite “how is this satire” comments every time I post in this community, I’ve decided to start including the definition for everyone:
OH THE HUMANITY!!!
Anyway back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Imagine seeing that the entire nation will hate you forever if you shoot up a school and then seeing that the nation will love you forever if you take out a CEO and you still choose to be the biggest pussy on Earth by going after innocent children.
That’s irrelevant in this case. The shooter was a 15-year-old student at the school, not an outsider who picked the school to target.
Glad to see that the US is back to normal despite the weird politics and everything.
Repeal the 2nd
But then how will we kill CEOs?
I read about this French invention that works pretty well. I’ve got the sharpener ready.
And just how are you supposed to kill a man with a baguette?
Dwarf bread!
absGeekNZ has begun a mysterious construction!
Board rooms, not class rooms.
Omg my thoughts and prayers didn’t stop it?
Noooooooo…
Think and pray more, we don’t have time for rookie numbers.
Thank GOD it was only a School getting Shot up and not a CEO! I ALMOST thought I had to Care!
Authorities are busy trying to determine whether Luigi Mangione was involved in the school shooting.
Oh was there another school shooting?
I hear there was one in california around the same time Thompson got his medical license revoked
It’s some sort of irony that I don’t think things will change for the better without violence. The ultra wealthy that drive a lot of culture war bullshit, that enshittify everything for more profits and “growth”, who pollute the air we breathe and water we drink, aren’t going to just give up power.
I’m just so tired of everything being so needlessly bad. Stop shooting kids and teachers. They aren’t the problem.
We never didn’t need violence and always will need it… Police is institutionalized violence, the judiciary system is how we figure out how much violence to punish people with.
Society needs them as long as there are things society wants to stop people from doing. It’s when this system doesn’t work anymore that we need violence from other sources, but still, we need violence.
Ugh, this seems to be the way I find out about most school shootings these days.
Seeing that there has been a school shooting in the US is a bit like seeing that a new Call of Duty game has been announced.
Pretty sure there are way more school shootings. There’s only what, 15 cods?
From the owner of the onion on Bluesky:
The 39th time we’ve had to post this, and this time about The Onion’s original hometown.
I wondered if the Onion would post it given that this time it happened at their home. They’ve been more picky about which school shootings to post the template for in the last decade
2 each month? Sometimes its 7 or 8 in a DAY.
Ah. SCHOOL SHOOTING.
Sorry. Carry on.
CEOs not schools
Shot CEO’s not schools.
No see, if you put that in there you are obviously inciting violence.
“CEOs before Schools” I can stand there with a straight face and talk shit about how Libertarian policies are the best thing for the nation and that liberals waste money on dance and music classes for kids who should be learning a trade…
Wow, what an interesting graphic. Maybe the government should start using nonviolent tactics to deal with rapists and murderers. Why lock a child molester in prison when you can do a sit-in or a letter writing campaign?
I didn’t realize we were protesting rapists.
I don’t think it is possible to go draw conclusions to individual countries and peoples situations from that statistic.
Also the historic lense cannot analyse the advancements in oppression since then. If you go to prison for sitting on a street, like climate activists in the UK and Germany do, you might as well go to prison for smashing something. If you are painted as terrorists by a complicit media, for throwing soup onto the plexiglass in front of an old painting, what is the point in not using means that actually achieve something?
If your adversary is willing to murder you at the earliest convenience like Assad slaughtered his people in Syria or Israelis are slaughtering Palestinians, or well the US healthcare system is letting its people die en masse, nonviolence can only do so much.
Final thought: No campaign is completely violent or nonviolent. You always have both aspects. At the minimum a threat of escalating to violence is necessary for nonviolent campaigns to be successful. Many campaigns fail, because they make it clear from the beginning, that they will not escalate, and so the government just ignores them.
Good news! Those points are factored in already.

I want to obviously incite violence tho
bro, you’re on lemmy.world, careful now
That’s a really good point. Don’t spell it out. Short and sweet makes for a better motto
