The American mass shooting thread

[8ball]

also america been talking about a race war since the 50s or before

It has been a popular fantasy among the unhinged, true.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Can’t say I associate QAnon with mass executions but tbf I haven’t been keeping up.

Yes, they've gone there. They're calling for the mass execution of "pedophiles" and "democrats", which are the same thing. They're also calling for the execution of "the powerful secret cabal that runs everything" they view as corrupt (Democrats/Pedophiles). Its increasingly sounding like a bunch of crazy people about to go on a rampage.

if you don't see that the problem with america atm is that they allowed the Fash to become main stream

can i suggest you watch a Afpac video review or watch for reactions from Fox news and OANN

American politics went batshite and unhinged in 2016 , the republicain party openly took on fash ideas
as a reaction to trump be elected and it all still has to play out

remember an orange twat after someone was killed by a mustang driving into a crowd of people
"good people on both sides"

as an aside Tucker Carlson repeatly premoting the Great replacement Theory

I haven’t been keeping a close eye, but I gather their numbers have been sagging as they become weirder.

The California church shooter turns out to have been a deranged man from mainland China who hates the Taiwanese - sounds like he would have gone on to kill many more if parishioners hadn't tackled him.

Officials alleged that the suspect secured church doors with chains and tried to disable locks with superglue. The suspect also attempted to nail at least one door shut, according to Barnes. Bags containing magazines of ammunition, as well as several Molotov-cocktail-like incendiary devices, were found at the scene.

Laguna Woods shooting was 'politically motivated hate' crime targeting Taiwanese, sheriff alleges

'It is believed the suspect involved was upset about political tensions between China and Taiwan,' Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said.

I do remember a car driving into a bunch of people and a whole lot of people acting like nothing had happened.

But yeah, Tucker Carlson is batshit. Not a newsflash.

 

[Ax^]

the whole of Foxnews and OANN is batshite

its not a newsflash to most people

apart from republicans

they elected Mayors, Congress members, House of representation members and members of the SCOTUS under Trumps watch

if you let that shite become mainstream it a hard task to take it away

As crazy as QAnon is, there's a subset of Q that is even scarier. They're "Negative 48." They believe in some kind of weird number code where they add up numbers to reveal hidden messages. Sorry about the Scum link, but this is one of the few links I could find about it:

He said the group started off by sharing Gematria decodes - a practice of attributing numbers to a name, word or phrase using an outdated and debunked numbering system to derive some sort of secret meaning - but had "upped the ante over time", spouting out ludicrous conspiracy theories about Trump, the 2020 Presidential election, and "the end of times".

On top of this, worrying Telegram posts show messages discussing the need to "prepare, prepare, prepare" for the "termination event" while one Negative48 preacher spoke about the "importance of physical death" during a Zoom call in November.

Inside QAnon splinter cult who 'drink bleach' & could 'cause another Jonestown'

A CONSPIRACY cult who believe JFK Jr is “coming back” and who allegedly drink bleach could be edging towards a bloody end, experts have warned. From the outside, Negative48 may look lik…

These people are fully primed to go death cult/terrorist group. I saw a few of them interviewed at Trump's Nebraska rally, but I haven't been able to find the video today. These people scare me, not only because they could be violent, but they could also be my neighbors.

 

[8ball]

Oh, I’d forgotten about JFK Jr.

**Sorry for the twitter link


what wrong with that tupac has already returned from the dead and is a trump supporter

Batshit, mainstream, highly influential and promoting ideologies not dissimilar to stuff the Nazis spewed out.

Not sure whether we've had it but the Buffalo shooter cunt is pleading not guilty

no doubt wants to get his manifesto published more widely, hopes to get off like that other cunt that went tooled up and shot people.

 

[Nylock]

Wow, only 18 and already so full of hate.

No death penalty in NY state so I guess this piece of shit will have 60+ years in prison to ponder the error of his ways.

Or 60+ years to further entrench his views and radicalise other like-minded dickheads...

I mean, over there the Federal Government pays out quite a bit more per capita than our government does per capita for the NHS to get a much worse system. Palin's claims of "death panels" a decade ago are exactly what insurance companies, state governments and hospitals do there all the time for those unable to pay / not valuable enough to pay, and indeed were fighting to defend at the time. Its so ingrained in people's minds that even people like Bernie and AOC cannot bring themselves to abandon a blatantly failing system, hence "Medicare for All".

Sanders has said previously that the preferred option for him would be a UK-style NHS system or some hybridisation of the Canadian/Norwegian one but acknowledged that it would never pass in the current climate. M4A is kind of seen as an achievable first step toward that goal.

Yes, they've gone there. They're calling for the mass execution of "pedophiles" and "democrats", which are the same thing. They're also calling for the execution of "the powerful secret cabal that runs everything" they view as corrupt (Democrats/Pedophiles).

I've been listening to this podcast series on BBC sounds that gives an overview of the Qanon movement:

BBC Sounds - The Coming Storm - Available Episodes

It's an interesting listen... There are some truly batshit people out there....

The point you seem to be missing is that Tucker Carlson regularly promotes white nationalist conspiracy theories to his audience.

Thanks! I'll give it a listen.

Def worth a listen, if a little dated at this point.

Don't know if you've heard it, but they released an eighth episode:
The Coming Storm - 8. Epilogue - BBC Sounds

(this is only the second time I've listened to the series, the first time was when it was broadcasted on the radio (and only had 7 episodes)...)

I was waiting for his examples which he seemed to be threatening to drop…

I've mentioned this guy at work before.
Working in a UK university with all the benefits that implies in terms of conditions, holidays etc and this guy in his 30s (later I heard a colleague call him "Tory boy" ) ... initially before the "online atheist community" went down the manosphere plughole, we occasionally met on summer work and swapped stories about crazy American creationists ...

Keto diet, "bone broth" ... microdosing, Peterson fanboi ... talked about his 50-something mother like she was a fragile old woman ...building a BitCoin thing at home - anti-RFID wallet ...determined to become wealthy and go "off-grid" ... He must have hated having women running the department - the whole place was a liberal bubble.
I'd heard stories about his bizarre support for Trump etc and Brexit and one day when I was trapped in a room with him he was saying how the US media was totally biased towards "the left" ... used the word "intersectionality" - first time I'd heard of it ...and when I expressed my automatic support for maginalised groups "so you're an SJW then" ... during Covid he had Trump as a Teams avatar ...

It came to a head one day when alone early in the morning around election time within a few sentences "the poor want our money" and "Muslims are outbreeding us" ... all I could come up with was "maybe you should lay off the psychedelics" ...

Later there was an email suggesting we stay away from politics.

A younger colleague of mine who is stuck working there often ended up having to work with him- though he was more robust than me ...

So this university-educated English guy working in a university and clearly sucking directly on the Faux News teat ..
