Yes WW1 happened because of a single incident setting off a firestorm and not due to ideologies of imperialism, militarism, monarchism, jingoistic nationalism, and the desire of the Anglo-French alliance to prevent any competitors to their global domination being confronted by Germany which felt entitled as a white nation to its share of genocidal extraction.
Correct, WW1 would have happened regardless, Franz Ferdinand getting shot or not, the economies of western Europe were just too primed for war at that point
Me when all I know about WW1 is that some rich guy got killed and then something something history happened: DAE political assassinations bad?
Don't threaten me with a good time anyway. The country would've detonated and there are probably over 5 billion people that would be cheering right after.
I'm simply not so sure we haven't arrived at the same place anyway. Living in deeply Maga area, we've had fireworks shot off all night last night, as well as people posting up on corners with flags and guns. One person in my area said they were heiled and yelled "white power" at.
It concerns me that people are trying to downplay this situation just because the man didn't die. I think it's the opposite. People are feeling riled up and emboldened in a way I don't think they would if the shooter had succeeded.
C'mon Jack we need to finish the job! Just so it's clear to 
, that this is an issue I feel very reach around the aisle about, here's a picture I secretly keep in my closet of my pragmatic messiah

you have the chance to do the funniest thing ever and are our only hope
Hex Bearers, channers, chapos.chatters, DO NOT do an

I thought UlyssesT retired.
No Sir! Just have learned from the best of the best by being terminally online, Sir!
Hexbearglyphics are a thing of beauty.
Also living in Chudland encountering the same issue. There's a lot of the obvious militia sorts stirring about, I kept seeing cars of them otw home, decal of this and that group. Reddit for my state vaguely had a post noting the like 3 dems and their supporters are starting to get phoned in threats from the local militias, it was quickly removed cuz reddit, but it seems my area isn't the only one experiencing shit.
Trump literally had an Iranian general assassinated and it sparked a skirmish lasting less than two weeks. Not a world War.
Ah, but Iranians aren't people, you see. It only makes sense that the consequences were less severe
God I remember that day. Everyone on the mainstream internet was afraid of WW3 for two days.
.... and then Covid 19 happened...
Didn't the government of Iran offer a bounty against Donald Trump in response?
Oh well, I'm glad the country will not detonate now. I can breathe easy knowing that all we will see from now is the legendary American ability to treat everything with a sense of zen like calm, without making any rash decisions.
lol If you aren’t cheering for the US to fail at this point, you are a fascist there’s nothing worth saving at this point
I’m just disappointed we don’t have any privatized suicide booths because dying slowly in a decaying empire is not ideal
It would actually be bad, and it is bad that it happened right now anyway. Who the fuck you think is gonna get hit with retaliatory measures from this?
Granted this person is probably a lib and doesn't mean it this way.
Well he's partly right IMO that it would have detonated all that stored resentment that reactionaries have towards the "liberal leftists" (they rarely make distinctions) and (((the elites)))
But uhhhhh having Trump alive and able to instead further foment and concentrate it towards his political enemies is much much much worse.
It's like saying that a powder keg exploding is dangerous therefore we should be glad all that powder is instead in the guns of our enemies...
As opposed to failed assassinations that famously have no consequences
Kim Jong Un launching WWIII because his dear large friend Donald Trump was killed
Wow. We are very lucky we escaped the specter of Trump dying so we could get the possibility of Trump as president where this time he can act like a dictator and legally imprison, torture, or murder, etc en mass and he can do that to anybody. As you can see - we are very luc—
Hold on. I'm being told in my earpiece that we need to go to commercials because I'm acting like a fucking idiot. Well, we need to go to commercials because I'm acting like a fucking idiot...
The US does need to be detonated though 
how is amerikkka detonating a bad thing?
because there's no left wing in the US that currently has the infrastructure to protect marginalized people so the most likely outcome will be liberals sitting on their hands while people of color and queer people are murdered. it has the same flaw as accelerationism, we have no way to guarantee something worse won't come out of this.
America collapsing is unambiguously good for the world, no matter how many people are hurt here
In no way am I defending the existence of this fascist settler colonial project that wages endless suffering around the world but the most likely outcome of an American collapse without an actual left that exists beyond posting is probably more fascist. Is it better for the world if those people have nukes? Idk comrade.
yeah you're right, things will get so much worse, i shouldn't have posted that 
to be fair, the USA is the worst and shouldn't exist!
Libs really love selectively overestimating the military preparedness of MAGA CHUDs.
Great man theory dipshit historicism
Trump being martyr would probably be way less funny tbf.
A billion percent more annoying full stop. We'd probably have Biden leading his eulogy and performatively conceding the election so Trump could be honorary president for his funeral
Honestly kinda thankful he survived due to this. Would be much easier to use his death to justify superfash shit too.
Plus, there is inherent comedy in a gunchud kid on a shooting team MISSING with an AR PATTERN RIFLE at 130 METERS
oh was it confirmed it was an AR rifle?
Says so in the news!
lmfao what a fucking dingus
Social contagion. That is going to be a problem.
What happens when a mf doesn't understand historical context
my hyperbole!
