Stochastic terrorism strikes again. This is directly because of Moms for Liberty and Libs of TikTok.
Imagine thinking you’re helping society by blowing up elementary schools and libraries.
Must be a isis thing

They notice the more educated you are the less likely you are to have the same views as them. They don’t see it as education they see it as a affront to their way of thinking! So yeah I think it just started unfortunately.
The thing is, they do. They see public schools as “libtard woke factories”. They want to move to a system where everyone homeschools their children with whatever bullshit idiocracy they believe instead of…you know…actual information.
Yet, those who incite this hatred, meet with no negative consequences.
We go high, they go low.
We turn the other cheek, they throw a temper tantrum for not handing them medieval torture devices.
“Owning the libs” birthed literal psychopaths, who want the state to torture people to death, as entertainment.
As it turns out, “winning the moral victory” is still just losing.
True. If you really want to win the moral victory you have to take action to stop letting your peers across the aisle get away with inciting this shit. (Speaking to leadership in congress here). You have to take action against propaganda outlets like Fox and OANN and Alex Jones and so forth.
I’m extremely grumpy today… sorry for this rant.
I guess what hit me yesterday is Biden’s statement about being friends with McConnell.
I cannot comprehend considering that man as anything but a villain and a lifelong enemy. And it got me wondering what kind of person could consider him a friend? And how seriously does someone like that really take problems in this country? Kind of feels like the life and death problems we peons face aren’t life and death for those in power, ya know?
There is no moral victory just people in power telling you to be subservient and accept their behavior or you can’t go to their imaginary billionaire land in the sky. I mean even the turn the other cheek is always misrepresented. Old slave laws prevented hitting someone a certain way or they could be released, you turned the other cheek to force them to hit you in an illegal manor and try to get released or force them into a position where they couldn’t hit you that time. It did not mean turn and let someone hit you ffs.
We turn the other cheek,
You know that meant when you get hit make sure you turn your cheek so they have to hit you a certain way and release you according to slave laws back then or they couldn’t hit you in that positon. It does not mean to take things as they come it’s a statement to force your opponent to misstep.
Schoolchildren.
These people are targetting schoolchildren for the love of fuck. These people are targetting pediatric cancer patients. I’m not even just talking about the (almost entirely nonexistent in most places) trans children that the GOP have decided are a good target for the internet hate machine, but just everyday schoolchildren. At what point do these fucking people sit there and think that not only is blowing up a random school of SCHOOLCHILDREN a good idea, but it will somehow bring sympathy and support for their cause?
THERE ARE EXACTLY ZERO SCENARIOS THAT COULD POSSIBLY EXIST WHERE THREATENING CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IS JUSTIFIED.
When is our government going to start hunting down these people like the dogs they are, charge them with all sorts of domestic terrorism charges, and throw them in jail for life? Because when you start to consider blowing up elementary schools as a viable idea, you are no longer fit to live in or even be welcomed in civilized society.
Thinking they want sympathy or support is a mistake.
They want fear.
Lol, they’ll gladly look the other way while one of their zealots shoots up school kids. Dolla dolla bill.
Just republican shit.
These Trump supporters are out of control.
They are domestic terrorists following an insurectionist. Let’s not give them any more branding
These Trump supporters are ~out of control~ a waste of carbon.
These Trump supporters are
out of controla waste of carbon.I think you need two of those little guys before and after: “~”
So… jail time? For inciting of violence as well as the threats. Lock them all up.
The only reason the Overton window is going to shift left if because all the right wing nut jobs loose the ability to vote.
That’s because Trumpism turned it into a domestic terrorist group.
And one more thing…I just don’t understand the sudden hatred of libraries.
Even if you are the most racist, hateful person on the planet who believes that any book even mentioning a black person should be banned, there are ways to handle that if you really, really feel the urge to do something.
- Step 1: Go get some mental health treatment, because you clearly have issues that need to be resolved.
- Step 2: If you’re stupid enough to skip step 1 and are hellbent on “doing something”, go to the library with the bad evil books.
- Step 3: Check out the books in question.
- Step 4: Never return the books.
There you go. You’ve done your part for your white supremacy movement. You removed all the bad evil books from the library. You will go down in history for your patriotic actions on this day! Never again shall our schoolchildren be subject to the evil horrors of Hank Aaron’s biography or reading about a rabbit with two dads, because of you! Rest. Go home, soldier, you deserve it. Problem solved. And look, nobody died!
*(we’ll just skip over the part where the library just spends another $12.95 to replace the book. They don’t need to know that.)
They hate libraries for the same reason they hate public schooling, and every other public service. Because it’s money they pay to help people who are not them.
The hate for libraries and schools goes further than that. Libraries and schools are places where people can learn things that contradict their indoctrination.
They hate libraries for the same reason they hate public schooling, and every other public service. ~Because it’s money they pay to help people who are not them~ Because they’ve been manipulated into doing so.
Libraries are amazing. I’m a bit biased because my wife is a library administrator, but so many people don’t know what libraries have available. Ours, and this isn’t a big city, has free 3D printers, online ebooks, audiobooks and streaming movies, fun kits you can take home with you like a ukulele with an instruction book, a PS5 and an HTC Vive in the teen room, even a pancake printer. It prints pancakes in any shape you design in some simple drawing software. How cool is that?
They’re opening a new branch and they’re going to include, again for free, a room with a lockable door and a sign-up sheet that has a shower and a washer and dryer in it. One person at a time, but think about how many impoverished people could use a shower and some clean clothes. And the library is there to help them.
But these people think all libraries do is give porn to children or whatever.
Libraries have long been a cornerstone of enlightened society. Only republican swine could oppose them.
The hate isn’t new. The targetting of libraries just went quiet for a while.

I keep saying, none of this is new, conservatives have always been awful.
They hate libraries because it’s part of education. They are seeking to dismantle education so people have no choice but to either pay out they ass to send kids to their religious school because the government vouchers don’t cover the full cost or have to forgo education entirely and might as well send the kid to work because of relaxed child labor laws and rising costs of everything.
These people better see jail time. No one, fucking no one, should be able to attack children and get away with it. And all because they’re scared that people are different from them. What childish bullshit that culminated in attacking the most vulnerable.
LEAVE OUR KIDS ALONE! Alright, now let’s send a bomb threat to a public school. /s
