The shooter was clearly driven to violence by socioeconomic hardship
Also, the gun had nothing to do with it. It was because our country does nothing about the mental health crisis.
What? Government subsidized mental health care? What are you, a commie?
You think you’re clever but you’re just an asshole. Keep defending fucking nazi terrorists, scum.
It's a joke on how white mass shooters are portrayed as victims of society instead of as terrorists
I mean... aren't they both?
There are millions of poor people that don't commit hate crimes or terrorism.
Yes yes we're all tragedies of pseudo-random determinism, 7 billion products of our environment, very sad much insight.
That's why you have to put down the rabid dogs humanely.
Yes, but thats's removing responsibility on the perpetrator's part, and we obviously can't do that. We're assumed to be responsible for our actions.
We can hold someone responsible for their own actions while still acknowledging that people are a product of their own environment and try to study and address the underlying societal/economic conditions that led to these situations occurring in the first place.
Yea I completely agree
No, it’s very clearly a “joke” about how the left oftentimes attributes crime in urban areas to socioeconomic conditions.
The original commenter here is simultaneously making light of a right-wing shooter with racist manifestos and also making fun of the left.
Nothing has gone over my head.
Im 100% certain something has gone over your head
Insects, birds, planes, clouds, celestial bodies
I took it the same way they did. I thought they were mocking the left.
They are mocking the left, just look at their other comments.
That's a funny troll result at least. Good for them.
c/whooosh
No. The intent of the commenter’s comment is very clear to me and I guarantee he’s laughing at the fact his comment was upvoted while mine was downvoted.
Check his comment history. He’s a right-wing troll.
