This is a country that has spent over a century valorizing the white men who fought & died to keep Black Americans in bondage, so enamored by it that they routinely dress up in costume & relive it.
White people dying for the preservation of white supremacy is a feature of white supremacy. So don’t expect anyone who’s committed to preserving white dominance to be moved by the deaths of cops or white women beyond accepting it as a necessary blood sacrifice.

Every time the NRA says that they have 5 million members, they are also saying:
"We represent less than 2% of Americans and less than 10% of gun owners."
We cannot let the NRA hold America hostage.

It appears CBS posted a horrific video of today’s high school shooting.
In a surreal move, they appear to bleep out profanities screamed by the young victims, as if that’s the most offensive thing about the footage as it loops over and over.
Additionally, I can't really criticize people who are dragged into cults and brain-washed by sociopathic leaders, because that is exactly my situation right now. The Cult of the Gun, and its brainwashed callous leaders, is clearly in charge.
I can never again look down on a culture that practiced human sacrifice, or child sacrifice, because my own culture does just that for the sake of the Cult of the Gun.
I think a lot of the problem with White Men (tm) is that we still lie to ourselves and think we are on top of a meritocracy, instead of a centuries-spanning evil dystopia. The best we offer is a hand up to the top, instead of help dismantling the whole horrific edifice.
