God I fuckin... Like dude the fucking right gets upset when the fucking left wants to increase gun laws when there's a school shooting, but the fucking right is too stupid to fucking realize that if they stop being literal facists than maybe, just fucking maybe, kids won't be as depressed. Maybe if these kids could actually fucking see that its okay to be different, they'd be fine. And it fucking sucks because anti bullying shit like literally never features LGBT scenarios. Like actually fuckin run it back in your mind, cause I know damn well I never saw ANY anti bullying thing for gays. Hell, I fucking got suspended from highschool because a kid called ME a [that one really mean word for gay people D:]. If I wasn't such a narcissist I legitimately would not have made it out of highschool.

A lot of these school shootings involve a kid from a very conservative family getting utterly blackpilled on some QAnon conspiracy bullshit and going off to do an adventurism against the PoC in school who have been bullying him merely by existing. And I can't help but feel that conservative adults are quietly thinking to themselves "Good, I wish more people would behave like this" as they publicly shake their heads in disapproval.

Whether its Dylann Roof or Patrick Wood Crusius or Kyle Rittenhouse or Daniel Perry, this is just a Kristallnacht by drips and drabs.

The mind of a conservative is actually insane. They will hear someone say the most vile, bigoted thing about minorities and just go "well we were all thinking it" like honestly it is insane. Its like they think that conservative views are the default, and any white person who disagrees with them is either "brainwashed by the left" or just acting like they disagree with conservative views because muh "woke society will kill you for agreeing with the truth"
