I mean as far as I know it had no long term effects. Shootings aren't exactly rare in the USA, what's the take here?

    One thing it's important to keep in mind is that sometimes we (non mainstream worldview people) can give the ruling class too much credit. We assume that the bourgeoisie is always acting in lockstep with each other and the state to control our social and political realities. This is definitely not the case as there are many competing interests in play.

    I think the most likely scenario is that this was a botched op. There was supposed to be a specific media narrative concerning the shooter's motive, but the media class felt whatever that narrative was, it was too damaging to their interests and so they pushed back against the actors at the deep state/TLA level.

    The west's intelligence agencies have been shown lately to be less than competent. If anything, this should give us a glimmer of hope. It's not a perfect analogy, but the I feel like the ruling class right now is akin to the genetic makeup of ruling families of hundreds of years ago. Those families became so inbred that their genetic diversity stagnated, and eventually adaptations that would never have been selected for naturally began to dominate allele frequency. The same thing is happening to the modern bourgeoisie, but on a cultural level. These people all go to the same schools, are from the same ethnic background, and essentially all come from a small group of families. Their culture is almost completely insular. Without a new injection of "cultural DNA" they've stagnated. Cultural traits that never would have been selected for naturally start to dominate. Maladaptive elements are becoming the norm.

    The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what the motive was or what the intent of the TLAs was, or even whatever social engineering project they were trying to develop. We should be making note of the cracks in the armor, however. We're not going to get much of a chance to seize power in the imperial core, but we should be ready if and when that chance presents itself.
