I get on the internet and suddenly. piles of shit everywhere trying to be armchair psychologists or using the worst shooting in US history for politics. cmon guys. The most amusing and frankly enraging thing about this is all the Republicans politicians and Trump/supporters tweeting this or w/e with "scary muslim statements here" while not giving a single mention to the LGBT community. Or the Hispanic community, as it was Latino night. | ||

No. It's that they're explicitly using this for political gain and shameless base pandering immediately after the tragedy, with Trump busy "congratulating" himself of all things instead of actually making any effort to...I don't know, take it as a tragedy, emphasize with the victims, and give people some space to mourn? No? Let's just skip straight to ignoring the victims and go straight to the Muslims then. Instead of talking about reasonable gun control limits (background checks and the like), or presenting an actual plan for combating ISIS or radicalized Islamists that doesn't devolve into BAN (and/or deport) ALL MUSLIMS, or address the deep systemic social issues surrounding Muslim alienation in Western society, or that it's an indication that homophobia in the US is still an issue (obviously, but this was a hate crime explicitly motivated by such)...instead we'll spend their time obsessing over the word "Radical Islam" as if saying it will make it go away (even though it was just used in a speech by Clinton), while Trump makes vague statements making it sound like Obama had a hand in it, and go ahead and erase the victims of the tragedy itself while we exploit it. | ||

Malaysians didn't seem to care much about the shooting. Made me kind of sad. I'm glad you guys seem to care about it. Hugs for LT. All of the hugs.

I can't wait for that shitty sub to be banned, and for the "The Cuckening" to commence. It'll be better than when r/fatpeoplehate was banned. | ||

"Exploiting". Clearly he should just not talk about it as a presidential candidate lol. Let's not shit up offtopic with dumb shit and just leave it at that. I was actually very pleasantly surprised by the warcraft movie. Had low amounts of dialogue and good quality action scenes. Got me hyped for the next few. | ||

I thought it was a bad movie with some nice action and pretty visuals, which is what I expected going in. Was worth what I paid for it. | ||

Oh come on, nobodies erasing the victims of the tragedy except that guy who shot them all. All the condolences in the world don't really shit except to make people affected feel better. It's fucking pointless having every politician come on board offering their deepest sympathies we already know the vast majority of people think its an atrocity. It's just as much a routine political stunt as trump's speech and they both feel they are doing the right thing. Banning muslims is the republican version of banning guns. They really like their guns. Talking about homophobia being an issue in the US when the murderer comes from a religion that advocates murdering gays and a culture that is currently still doing it. Okay. This guys cousins or whatever are going to the weekly gay beheadings back in afganistan but it's the US homophobic culture that's the problem? Look nobodies saying the west can't do better facing systemic oppression and whatnot, but acting like this is a regular joe american who happens to be muslim is ridiculous. Nobody is saying he wasn't mentally ill but there are a lot of mentally ill people and nobody else shoots up gay bars. I'm not saying I agree with the trump side of things but can you put away your partisan pitchfork and your left-wing idealism and try to understand what nearly half the fucking population of your country are seeing. Changing cultural norms and such is a slow process and it takes time and integration sure as fuck takes time. You really think if this guy had some sensitivity training or some class on gay rights or something this would have helped? Look at the anti-feminist stigma all over the internet if anything pushing these things too hard fosters more hostility in a certain percentage of people. In my opinion shit like this is an accident waiting to happen and you probably can't stop these guys from trying to murder people they hate but you can stop any old suicidal guy walking into a store and buying a fucking assault rifle and as much bullets as he can hold. But obviously a lot of guys see this as an affront to their freedom and believe they have the right to defend themselves and such and I understand that and you should too. You're not going to make any leeway in this if you see them all as disgusting pigs. The most you can hope for is change as our generations age. But that will happen regardless of what you do so if you want to change anybodies mind you might want to be a bit more reasonable. If you want to say that all the anti muslim pitchforks are nonsense I'd agree with you. If this guy was raised differently he could have easily shot up a school or something. But saying that the other guys are baseless in their claims that his background had everything to do with his choice of actions is pretty hard to defend. Saying it's a product of some homophobic american culture is only going to go down in the your own political circle. nutjob shoots lots of people isn't a new story. anders brejvik was anti islam this guy was anti gay the other guy was anti black a lot more guys just lash out by shooting up their school or where their perceived powerful oppressors come from. you won't be able to stop every mentally ill guy from blaming a particular group for their problems hell most people can't even get over blaming their team in league of legends. Just seems to me you're lashing out against the perceived powerful oppressors of right wing/conversative cultural norms. Your emotional responses are the same as every fucking one else and it's not going to achieve anything if you just post it around with people who agree with you anywho. Your kneejerk reaction that increasing levels of tolerance and decreasing levels of guns is the solution to everything is the same kneejerk reaction that every guy is saying we need to screen out the muslims and the mexicans. Your opinion is just a lot more reasonable but hey you're more intelligent and educated than they are, that doesn't make you a better person it just makes you smarter. Banning every muslim would have prevented this tragedy but that itself could be a tragedy of it's own. Things like this become more likely even if your intentions are compassionate and you overall achieve more good in the world by accepting immigrants in. | ||

I've also gotten a little shit just from some of the LGBT community for taking the shooting so personally. like it's not my tragedy to mourn because i'm straight, despite spending 5 years in orlando, visiting the specific club with roommates and having to spend all morning trying to figure out if i had a funeral to attend. And then the helplessness of having moved from orlando and not be able to donate blood, because so many others are unable to. | ||
