    No one's saying that it is just. It's just that if every great injustice incites you to rage, you will feel nothing but rage at any given moment. I don't have that kind of energy. It is difficult to get angry at one or two murders when the mass shootings and school shootings are so mundane that the news doesn't even report them anymore.

      Every great injustice SHOULD make you rage. And in this case the world is telling you that they will murder you. Murder is justified against you and yours. They are declaring open season on you, and rather than reacting appropriately we're just pretending we're too fucking cool to care about that.

      That's a dumb fucking take, and you should frankly be ashamed of it.

        rather than reacting appropriately we’re just pretending we’re too fucking cool to care about that.

        The appropriate reaction is to organize a popular movement of communists to overthrow the government, and that hasn't changed for the past 100 years. Rage is pointless and exhausting. Being angry isn't going to change a thing.

          Now on one hand we have every single communist in world history saying that anger is good and matters, caring is good and that we can't afford to give up on a single thing. On the other hand we have the internet poster who thinks it's lame to care.
