@1000dollarcrab A left wing third party. It can get hopeless and admittedly even a bit lonely. But I have a positive outlook on life and I have a clear goal. What are YOU doing?

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@1000dollarcrab And now you’re deflecting, proving my original point. I agree that obsessing over things beyond your control is unhealthy, but that’s different from being politically complacent. Currently, I am dues paying DSA member, building the eventual goal to breakaway from it and build +

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@1000dollarcrab @JosuePi650 It’s funny that you’re angry that nobody is bringing up a constructive argument, meanwhile you’re deflecting mines. You are way too old to act like this man. 27 years old and you finally found out the key to having a positive outlook on life is… meds?

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@1000dollarcrab Also there’s something very deeply ironic about making your argument about mental health awareness when Dems can’t even support universal access via Medicare for All.

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@JosuePi650 @1000dollarcrab Being a killjoy is precisely the point. Why should we celebrate Democrats when they’ve repeatedly failed us?

Also, very ironic about framing this as a mental health issue when neither party’s leadership supports guaranteeing universal healthcare through Medicare for All.

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@1000dollarcrab It’s a killjoy to point out how Democrats have failed and will fail again, but that’s precisely the point. I believe a better world is possible, just not under Democratic leadership. What’s there to celebrate when they’ll only continue failing Americans and the rest of the world?

@neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist gun violence is in this country.

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist American students themselves even joke about shooting up schools without actually intending to do so. Most of the time it isn’t a “coping mechanism” as you’re saying it’s just plain offensive humor. these jokes are never okay, but their prevalence is a response to how normalized+

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist And I agree with your point, but I still don’t think that was what OP was doing. As an American I feel like it’s more productive to get angry at our politicians that allowed gun violence to become a prevalent issue than people pointing out how American school shootings are.

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist and the horror of it CAN both co-exist, just like your story. Theres a fundamental difference between making victims the punchline & criticizing the political or institutional conditions that allowed their suffering to occur, which the latter is what I believe is what OP doing.

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist Not all dark humor is a coping mechanism and you don’t necessarily have to be a “victim” of a circumstance to engage in one. Dark humor can also be used as satire for political criticism or a means to expose the absurdity of systemic failures. The absurdity of a violent situation

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @bourbonswilt @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist Nobody in the original thread actually provided a specific example but I agree with the op tweet generally that the reason these jokes even become prevalent is simply because the government can’t be bothered to address gun control

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist yes but it is a response to how horribly our government handles these situations to begin with.

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @bourbonswilt @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist ok and that’s not what me and op are referring to. Quite frankly, as an American, these cruel jokes are inhumane but it is a response to how our government let the issue become so prevalent to begin with.

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist Ofc none of it is ok! but it is satirical and dark humor at this point to see how prevalent the issue is despite the solution to it being quite obvious.the media forces us to go through these cycle of conversations everytime one happens.

[imane @newjeansza]

@misanderist the script IS quite literally comical at this point. A school shooting happens -> the shooter’s identity becomes contest political territory (race, gender, immigration status, ideology) -> the debate becomes a culture war about said shooters identity -> if it’s a white man, +

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@wixycore @newjeansza No. But why are you offended when the rest of work see how prevalent school shootings are, and see how the government handles these situations? Ridiculous 😭

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@bourbonswilt @neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist an expense of the victims and also if America can’t take gun violence seriously in its own country, why should the rest of the world?

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@bourbonswilt @neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist I am American. This is a ridiculous notion first of all. It’s always identity politics with you people. Nobody should be making jokes relating to victims expense HOWEVER pointing out the satirical nature of how ridiculous the US government is at handling these situations isn’t +

[newjeansza @baiIeinovidable]

@neocollector @newjeansza @fujokaisen @misanderist I am literally American you fucking moron. I live in the most impoverished area in my city. Gun violence happens down my street weekly. If America can’t take care of its own gun violence seriously then why should the rest of the world?
