School shootings like the one in Nashville this morning happen once a week in the Empire homeland. The pols are all over this one, maybe because the shooter was a woman this time, maybe because it happened inside a church at a private school, maybe because the news cycle was a little slow. Or something.
All mass shootings combined happen at a rate of almost two every single day. On January 1, 2022 alone there were seven.
We’re supposed to vote for more Democrats and more gun control to fix it.
That’s not going to work. I’m sure deep down we all know it.
The culture is insane, and that insanity is essential to who we are and what we’ve done to each other in the name of profit and the almighty war machine that powers the Imperium.
In the year to come hundreds more people will die in whatever incidents qualify officially as ‘mass’ shootings.
Thousands upon uncounted thousands more will die in ones that don’t, in ones that aren’t shootings at all.
Madness is normal.
Pass the hot rocks. If you can afford it, it’s time for a massage to let the pain of what we’ve become slip away for another little while.
