    on the other hand, a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade is the most deeply American thing I’ve seen :agony-immense:

        Mass shootings are so ingrained into the public consciousness as a uniquely American phenomenon that I would not be surprised if there would be a chud brain that thinks mass shootings are patriotic :pain:

        There's a lot of hogs out there who are so far gone they hate America (and by extension things like the 4th) because the government isn't as openly racist/ghoulish as they are

          Right, for a completely nihilistic fash this would be a good way to keep up the shock and horror after something like Ulvade

          Alone, shooting up a July 4th parade in a ritzy part of the country might seem slightly less depraved than an elementary school. But it's the fact that this comes after Ulvade (which comes after other events, etc.) is a compounding factor that maintains the terror. And there's plenty of these chuds who want to do that, so rather than think "when will it end?" my mind is headed towards "who's next?"

          They might not be able to completely exterminate their targets, but they can keep commiting acts of terror.
