It seems people will do absolutely anything except take their anger out on people who might deserve it.

Beat your wife and kids? OK

Run over brown people with your truck? Terrific idea

Shoot your boss? What, never

Well, I know why, it’s because the media rallies themselves to get you all riled up about the gays and the browns, so your rage won’t have any consequence

They do the same with Islamic extremists in eg Pakistan, funnel people into stupid fundamentalist orgs so they won’t look into Marxism, and bonus points, the extremist orgs you’re propping up will even hunt communists themselves, the same way conservatives in the US despise anything socialist (in the UK we don’t know what communists are, we just hate scroungers, trans and immigrints 😡)

Kind of following up from my post the other day about CEO salaries, still thinking about it, I honestly don’t get how senior management are able to kid themselves when they only earn £200k themselves, real serf behaviour

    The simplest answer is that people who resort to extreme undirected violence are inherently not in a rational state of mind. Even the ideological fascists tend not to target the people that their ideology says are the real perpetrators. If the Christchurch shooter “logically” thought through his own Great Replacement theory, he wouldn’t have targeted random Muslims.

    Rational people would accurately target their oppressors. Mass shooters are not able to accurately identify their oppressors because, in order to commit a mass shooting, you must be in an irrational mental state. So they target people close to them or symbolic extreme targets, like schoolchildren. They’re lashing out with no coherence.
