Your guess is as good as mine; I couldn’t speculate on the thoughts of mass murderers. The cynic in me says that shootings no longer represent compelling content to the average consumer, so it doesn’t get pushed as hard.
I haven’t looked up any actual statistics comparing recent mass shootings in the US, so I really can’t say.
Shit, rich people are dying? We better get around to fixing this whole air travel issue asap!
Seriously, it seems like plane crashes are replacing school shootings as the American tragedy-de-jour
It’s like the pilot of a plane saying “well I warned you we were going to crash into that mountain, you idiot.” Not only did they fail to avoid it, they apparently had no plan in place for what to do after they crashed the damn plane.
This whole community skews hard towards dumb neolib slop. I still follow it because it’s honestly kind of fascinating to watch liberals respond to any pushback with the same blind rage that you’d encounter on r/conservative. The replies to your comment are a perfect example.
Spinelessness is the chief defining quality of the entire Democratic Party. There are very few individual exceptions and those people need to start a new party. The US needs a real progressive party. The establishment Dems have made it very clear they won’t support a true progressive candidate, so what’s the point of bending the knee to these fuckers any longer?
Hey check out this hotshot over here with a long term memory! No, didn’t you hear she ran a perfect campaign they just couldn’t get enough celebrity endorsements…
Thanks for being the sole voice of reason here. You laid it out so clearly and I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the only one to read your comment completely. It’s always odd to me how liberals in America get so offended and immediately abusive/dismissive towards anyone who dares contradict them. It feels like they would gladly tune in to Maddow every night to watch her tease them about another bombshell Trump tax scandal that doesn’t exist. They’re addicted to this drama, and they get every bit as furious as their conservative counterparts when you try to point out that they’re falling for literally the exact same fake scandal from 6 years ago.
Why do I feel like you wake up every day like a kid on Christmas morning hoping for the ceasefire to fall apart? You seriously just trivialized genocide, you… special person you.
I love that consumers might be causing financial pain to big corporations, however:
Target, Walmart, and Amazon have always engaged in practices that harm individuals of every color and creed. The fact that DEI has become the impetus for these boycotts is evidence of the extent to which republicans still control the narrative. Liberal media sources follow right in step and whip their audiences into a fervor as well.
In reality, these companies directly exploit workers all the way down the supply line and up to the point of retail. We’re supposed to be mad that a small portion of those being exploited won’t be as diverse? That really sounds an awful lot like some neolib right-to-work shit.
Amazon in particular. We all should have absolutely buried Amazon years ago. Better late than never, but getting rid of DEI is not even in the top 100 horrible things Amazon has done.
