I'm wondering if there are parallels where commentators have so quickly and viciously mocked the victim of a crime like this. It feels somewhat new but I recall when George Floyd was murdered 5 years ago the boot lickers disgustingly tried to blame drugs or his health, and when Heather Heyer was murdered by a car attack in 2017 trolls pointed to her health.

Recine makes a good point here IMO - plus when Erika came out with those leather pants she looked too couch-like for JD to resist. It was I think Taylor Lorenz' video on Charlie Kirk where she makes the point that his whole job was to go out there and say the thing, whatever the thing is that has the most invective and is most inflammatory towards whatever minority they're trying to bully that day, and for having so publicly made that his identity people genuinely did not care when he met his end. She also says that it is natural that another chud grifter will always come next to stick their head up and replace him.

This goes back to even Michael Brown. People were freaking out over the desecration of memorials for Renee but cops did the same shit to Michael Brown. They had dogs piss on flours/candles/pictures around town. They would dismantle and destroy stuff. It's one of the first things they do when something like this happens. Trayvon was pretty quick too.

The wealthy need to do atrocities in order to maintain power and wealth. However they need some kind of popular support because a state apparatus is needed to hoard and protect that level of wealth. The people who have been propagandized to hate the state in a libertarian sense, are now needed to support it. Watching a white lady get gunned down by feds would cause a dissonance. The wealthy need people who can break down the libertarian ideals so that the dissonance is dismissed. Basically they need fixers who can make the hypocrisy work.

This is where people like Walsh and Kirk come in. The dissonance can be dismissed if the victim deserved it some way, or is part of the enemy. State violence against an upstanding member of their cohort is bad, state violence against the enemy is normal. That's what the state is supposed to do. Therefore they demonize victims to this end. The victims must have deserved it in some way. They were bad people and the state under their control only punishes bad people.

This creates the downward spiral in decorum we have noticed over the past two decades. The more they rely on this method, the more it diminishes "discourse" on the right. At some point it becomes completely incoherent and dysfunctional. Couple that with industrial technology and organization, you get mass atrocity. Couple it with social media and spectacle? Idk what the fuck is going to happen. It's not going to be great.

You, aliiberal: "Adventurism is bad because it is incapable of bringing about systematic change and is a waste of revolutionary potential"

Only now do I realize how much Kirk fucked around before finding out

So many posts lately are designed specifically to tempt us into fedposting.

This must be how Jesus felt when Mr Satan spent 40 days trying to seduce him with his sexy Afro and handlebar moustache

The fash know they're insulated and backed up by institutional state violence so they can say whatever they please without retribution, in reality they are the ones doing the violence both physically and verbally.

I’ll just say if I was Renee’s child I would be making a note of every single person who talked shit on my mother and I would get my vengeance one day

You know what else is cool? Buckshot! Your standard 00 buck shell contains nine .30 caliber pellets, which means one blast from a shotgun is the equivalent of an entire mag dump from one of those concealable purse or jogging pistols. Now think about what mag dumping the shotgun is equivalent to!

bug-facts That is a fun fact!

I think comrade Che wrote about this in his treatise on guerilla marketing. He suggests that one or two promoters might surprise a whole group of club-goers in the back of a party van and dispense their whole tube of concert flyers. He leaves it as an exercise to the reader to imagine how many organic advertising impressions this creates, but assures us it is substantial.
