MAGA Meltdowns and Violence in America.

‘Violence is Unnacceptable’.

But Poverty is also violence.
Racism is violence.
Abortion restriction is violence.
Capitalism is violence.
Sexism is violence.
Ableism is violence.
Transphobia is violence.

America loves violence.

Some just can’t handle it when it shows up at their own front door.

Much like Charlie, gun violence shows no empathy.

No one is safe.
Not children learning to read.
Not black women sleeping in their beds.
Not black kids with candy in their pockets.
Not concert or movie goers.
Not trans people existing.

Gun violence is the only American tradition that doesn’t discriminate.

It isn’t racist, sexist, or homophobic. It will take any victim it can get.

It’s unfortunate in every instance, sure, even when it’s someone I don’t like, but you can’t force me to feel bad about someone dying for the very thing they advocated for.

Gun violence is as American as free speech and apple pie.

But now there’s a list of (supposedly) over 50 thousand people on the left being compiled and doxxed.

The largest ‘mass firing operation in history.’

And I know at least one person who lost their job because they had a fleeting moment of joy and did what the other side does when someone they don’t like dies.

Put me on the wall or the doxx list, it doesn’t matter anymore, we’re all cooked.

(Comments in resonse to the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.)

(Comments in response to the murder of George Floyd.)

The world and the World Wide Web are broken.

I shouldn’t be required to mourn a bad person with harmful ideas.

And I’m now moving some of my writing to the draft folder just to be safe.

Weren’t they just crying over cancel culture?

Didn’t they just say that no one deserves to lose their livelihood over an opinion? Over free speech?

Kids keep getting shot at school but it was the fucking influencer who awakens your rage?

They bully trans kids to suicide or lynch them in the fucking streets, pledge allegiance to the Israeli war machine, but god forbid we burn a flag or laught at a meme (like normal) about a bad man taking a bullet to the carodid artery.

I didn’t even flinch when I saw the video…as he slumped into decorticate posturing and I realized I’d just seen a fucking political snuff film.

Trigger warnings are no longer recommended by the American Psychology Associaion, did you know that?

They say they cause more harm than good, but it’s probably because we’re all so fucking desensitized that it’s not worth the second thought.

You used to have to go to the dark corners of rotten.com or even the dark web to see something so graphic, but this was broadcast on Tiktok for children to see without as much as a cover photo.

I’m sorry not sorry for my lack of empathy. I’ve just been slowly desensetized by death since I saw a livestream of people jumping to their death from the Twin Towers as a tween.

Nothing shocks us anymore, and that’s what they want. It’s easier to terrorize someone when they don’t react or fight back.

We saw Isis burn a man alive. We saw someone live-stream blowing their brains out on Facebook live. We’ve seen photos and videos of kids in Gaza covered in blood and brain matter, bones protruding from their starving bodies. We watched a member of the Air Force self-immolate outside the front gate of the US Embassy of Isreal. We watched over 7 million people die from Covid-19 as we were gaslit to believe it was a hoax, FAKE NEWS SNOWFLAKE.

In 2024 there had been more than 400 school shootings since Columbine, exposing more than 370 thousand students to gun violence.

I’m so desensitized.

America made me this way.

There’s microplastics in my brain, a rapidly deteriorating climate, and billionaires who want us all to die from poison air, food, water in the name of fucking fossil fuels.

But the podcaster is where they draw the line.

People on the internet have been saying horrible shit to each other since the dawning of dial-up.

I guess it went too far. It reached their doorstep and now they’re scared, like my trans friends have been, like my brown and black friends have been, like my friends who can get pregnant have been.

We’re all down here together now.

I wish we’d use this opportunity to join forces and make real, lasting change to a system that was designed to kill us, but that’s not the American Way.
