I disappeared down the r/socialistra rabbit hole on Reddit lately. Even some of the left have bought into the NRA propaganda. Couldn't happen in any other country

Can't wait to hear about some mass stabbings from a single, lone stabber so we can once and for all prove that it's absolutely a mental health issue and absolutely nothing else.

^ Exactly.

You're on a roll with those.  I actually feel rather pleased with myself anytime I manage to score myself a page break.  Own it like a badge of honour.

Houston-area school district threatens to suspend students who protest after Florida shooting

 

 

Needville ISD Superintendent Curtis Rhodes on Tuesday threatened to suspend any student who disrupts schools or walks out to protest current gun laws.

 

In a letter sent to families and published on schools' social media sites, Rhodes said students would face a three-day, out-of-school suspension if they joined in growing protests nationwide over the shooting at a Florida high school last week.

 

"Life is all about choices and every choice has a consequence whether it be positive or negative. We will discipline no matter if it is one, fifty, or five hundred students involved," Rhodes wrote. "All will be suspended for 3 days and parent notes will not alleviate the discipline.

 

"A school is a place to learn and grow educationally, emotionally and morally," Rhodes wrote. "A disruption of the school will not be tolerated."

The US is basically Footloose right now. MAGA is John Lithgow and the opposition is Kevin Bacon. Hopefully it all ends in a sweet barn dance with lotsa glitter. And a surprise walk-on appearance by Kevin Bacon.

And I'm sure in his mind that's the way Jesus would do things.

[Nebraska]

he has politicized religion to the point he doesn't even care what jesus would do. his narrative is based on opposing what the mainstream media suggests- making guns harder to purchase- because that would mean he would also, probably not be able to have a gun. and if he can't have a gun, he'd have to depend on the police; and that in a conservative mindset, is a communist ideal. 

 

the whole angle about being an alpha male that is so masculine you have a gun and are basically walking around shooting every "savage sicko" and "sicko shooter" is just a talking point the NRA has used in it's advertising of why you need a gun. that's why these guys constantly harp about how great patriots they are. because having a gun, also means you love your country.

"no guns in school. Gun control for under 21. "

 

Borrow gun from older brother. Hide in bushes. Shoot them as they get off the bus.

[Nebraska]

one of the surviving student's from the florida shooting is now getting death threats addressed to him and his family- all based on a conspiracy theory that he (and another student) are actors that "travel to various crisis when they happen": something even donald trump jr seems to shilling

If that means fracturing into several regional nation-states, I won't complain. You and I are both about 4K miles from all the DC bullshit anyway.
