I know they’re going to say it is only jokes. Fuck that. I get y’all want to be edgelords, but this is the most dangerous thing that has happened this century. I would be surprised now if we make it to the end of the year without some people getting assassinated for real, and it will target overwhelmingly the leftest end of the spectrum.

Example, example, example. There are others.

Y’all are on the precipice of finding out firsthand the difference between “OMG I’m so oppressed, the police are racist and I’m struggling to pay my bills, civil war y’all” and “OMG I’m so oppressed, a gang of big violent fuckers with bats and boots and the support of the government just attacked my whole community, seriously hurt me, and burned part of my house down. They told us if they find us here tomorrow, they’ll kill us.”

      I know how to shoot, too. I haven’t done it for a long time. I’ve had friends in the military, known people who talked about killing people, having nightmares, saw them having trouble adjusting back to normal society and trying to deal with it. It’s not really my world; I’m not familiar at all, but I’ve seen enough little touches about it second or third hand to at least hear some little stories.

      You have not the slightest fucking clue what you’re talking about unleashing, like it’s a big game you’re playing. Not an inkling of a fraction.
