I seem to recall in a blog post and a podcast mentioning that we’re about to see more terrorism from leftists, and there you go…  Is this a bad thing?  It’s fuel for the jerks.  After all, Israel’s current big genocide push was inaugurated with a terrorist action by members of the oppressed people.  Terrorism is often the tool of the disempowered, and the left here is more disempowered than ever.  We may have fewer guns, but you know which leftists do have guns?  The ones most inclined to do a terrorism.

This won’t just be leftists either.  There will also be centrist terrorists and more right wingers as usual.  That’ll be interesting to see.  People who were fucked over by conservative policies who themselves would be favorably inclined to said policies until their face got eaten.  We’ll be seeing some of those fellas exercising their oh-so-sacred second amendment rights as well.

Who pulled this trigger?  Who cares?  The right wing, in going full fash, has made itself an existential threat to immigrants, to lgbtqia+ people, to members of racial and religious minorities, to women who need abortions, to anybody with the wrong bumper sticker in the wrong part of red country…  People feel their lives have been threatened, because they have.  Some people respond to that with deadly force, because that’s what this country has told them to do.

My brother usually avoids “faces of death” type content, but he made an exception to watch the video of this one.  I personally am still going to avoid it, but I see where he’s coming from.  You get enough horror and enough hopelessness meted out to you from your political opposites, you take your gratification where you can fucking get it.

If the UHC motherfucker didn’t ring in hunting season, this one surely did.  This will be ugly.  Sorry to any decent person who is harmed as a result, truly.
