  • No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you’re specifically referencing the snitching part).

    • It’s made business execs afraid.
    • It’s shown the working class how to have solidarity.
    • It’s been a rallying cry for how much the people hare the current system.
    • It’s given us a martyr.
    • It’s taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.

    And I’m sure there’s more.


  • There’s 335 million people in this country, and depending on estimates there are enough guns for every man, woman, and child to have more than one gun.

    We’re may not yet be at the point where enough people have their backs against the wall to do something, but there is plenty of people and guns for it. And many of us will soon find ourselves with our backs against the wall when the effects of climate change start really fucking people over with job loss, home loss, crop failure, and mass migration.

    There’s that, and the fact that this month just taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.

    The material conditions have not changed, and they’re likely to change for the worse. That’s bad news for any business exec who wants to keep their head on their shoulders.









  • For now. Give it a few decades when the effects of climate change start forcing people out of their homes, cause widespread crop failure, kill thousands with heatwaves and storms, etc.

    If you’re choice is between

    1. losing your home, starving to death, or in some way dying in the streets

    Or

    1. losing your home, starving to death, or in some way dying in the streets after holding those responsible to account a la the adjuster

    More and more people will choose option 2.
