    :what-the-hell: :amerikkka-clap:

    I apologize for being dickish to the people that got shot, but this amoral "culture" has raised multiple generations of "le epik trollz" and people no doubt do this shit because they think it's funny. I pretty much live every day of my life in fear of some nazi killing me for literally no reason, and getting praised for it by the masses.

      Isn't "populism" a neolib dogwhistle for "anything that helps and is popular with poor people"

        It can be that. It's also a pre-marxist form of "leftism" that has been rendered obsolete and reactionary by the invention of marxism and scientific socialism.

        when i had it laid out to me explicitly that the original KKK was just as intentionally silly and irony poisoned as the alt right dweebs today like the proud boys it really clicked for me

            It's been a while since I read anything about it so I don't have any links off the top of my head, but if you look at all the klan's ranks and stuff it's all just stupid - empires, realms, dominions, imperial wizards, grand exchequers, grand scribes, hydras, grand dragons, grand giants, goblins, furies, etc & so forth. In the 1800s whitey could sit back and feel secure that those silly boys putting on white sheets and riding around like hooligans calling each other goblins were just goofballs. Meanwhile the black people you never spoke to on the outskirts of your shitty little town would be terrorized and persecuted and the whites who weren't involved in the KKK never had to see shit. They could pretend like their cousin was just some nerd playing at fantasy bullshit and drinking with his other useless friends on the weekends instead of the terror organization they really were.

              Yeah the kkk call their leader grand wizard. That should be a boss in a mediocre rpg not someone leading murderous fascists

        I looked up that quote and no one can actually find the source. People like Eugene Debbs have said similar things and I think some black revolutionaries in the US have repeated similar sentiments. I think Sinclair said some similar stuff too.

      It was an ideological nazi who did this and aimed to kill black people because of birth rates or whatever slurry brained theory they come up with

            I see your point and I should not have used either of those words and I'll just swap them with less hog ones, but how monstrous one can be to get to this point of committing murder for e-clout? and what kind of culture are we fostering where shit like this is rewarded? It drives me into an absolute rage just how happy the lives of these monsters are.

              Yeah, trust me dude. Don't talk like that. It will fuck up your mindset, and I got into some hot water the other day for the same shit and I just grilled for like a week.

              and no, the hogs are most certainly NOT happy. If anything, they hate happiness in all its forms and want to see it eradicated so we can all be as miserable as they are.

                You two need to hide your misanthropy underneath miles of irony like I do :tofu-cool:

                  After my week-long self exile, I realized:

                  "Do I really hate people, or do I just hate the antichrist and how it has corrupted my fellow man?" :troll:

      but this amoral “culture”

      No the problem with american culture is that its incredibly moralistic but in the secular individualist Christian tradition. It is a sick morality used to justify hierarchy and oppression, therefore might is right, suffering is a sin, and weakness should be punishable, by death ideally. These shootings are just the result of taking these edicts to their logical conclusion with a good dose of white supremacy thrown in.
