    Is shooting one person a mass shooting?

      I wouldn’t think I’d need to explain this to you, as a once “very important person”.

      But some people are simply worth more than others. They are better, you see.

      There exists a hierarchy of individuals in which some individuals have more inherent value than other individuals, a ranking if you will.

      Upholding the hierarchy is akin to upholding the laws of nature, and acting against the hierarchy is akin to breaking the laws of nature and is, by definition, evil.

      It is clearly mental illness to consider yourself equal to your betters, and I’d advise everyone to seek aid if they feel the need to flatten any hierarchies.

        I did card check for public sector employees, raised the minimum wage, and tried to sell a senate seat. I do not recognize the laws of the richest Americans, which is how I became a political prisoner and developed a relationship with Donald Trump.

          I think the sarcasm is clear, plus they have “anarcho” in their name while talking about how awesome hierarchies are, pretty obvious lol.

        Well said. This is why I always ask what people do for a living after asking for their name to determine if it is worth my time to engage in interaction with them.

        P.S. I never remember their name. I always remember their profession. Janitor? NEXT

      Well there’ all the other CEOs who have had to take their linked in profiles down and think twice before going to sxbx. That’s basically social death— well, social disease. And if you add all those illnesses up, and use stats, it’s about 3 deaths in total distributed across all of them.

      So you see he is a mass assassinator.

          “western journalists are responsible for poisoning the minds of entire populations.” While I generally agree with you it’s awfully hexbear of you to single out “western” instead of generally all.

          I’m sure the “journalists” in Russia are doing just as much to poison the minds of their citizens.

            I guess you can say that while all journalists are propagandists, they are much more succesful propagandists in the west. Probably because people are far less sceptical of the news here. There’s that old joke about a KGB agent and a CIA agent having a chat in a bar.

            “I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

            “Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”

            The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

            It’s really convenient to selectively discard the idea of American Exceptionalism when it comes time to talk about the most money ever, by any civilization in history, spent on propagandizing their own people

            The thing you don’t incorporate into your analysis is the fact that there’s one giant capitalism that exists in the world and it has centered itself in the American state. You never actually compare apple to apple, let alone acknowledge oranges.

            Russian journalists are generally not manufacturing consent for imperialist warmongering like western journalists so they are not the same

              I bet this is a touchy topic in this channel but isn’t that exactly what Russian journalists are doing with Ukraine?

              Just like the west as well.

                The Russian war in Ukraine is anti-imperialist, they are destroying a forward NATO outpost and fascist coup government

                  Ahhhhha, yes I see. I didn’t realize NATO stationed their troops in popular shopping malls far from the front.

                  Keep up the good work spreading the truth Z Poster lol

      The thing you have to remember is that none of these people are journalists maduro-coffee

      Unironically there’s practically no actual journalists in the west. They’re either aware of what they’re doing or brainwashed to such an extent they don’t notice it, which is pretty piss-poor for someone whose task is to peer through propaganda and tell what’s actually going on. Both groups need to be buried like the bones this pup buries in their back yard

    Team, please dial down the commentary on our clients denying claims for arbitrary reasons. Rate of profit tends to decline etc

      Not to be overly technical but small correction: our clients are the shareholders and they’re not the ones denying claims. Its a small meaningless distinction but wanted to make sure were being totally clear for the new folks :)

    I mean, cat’s out of the bag already

    I really do think they never expected someone like Brian Thompson to get clapped and it’s breaking their brains to an extent

      You just walk in there like you belong. …They’re so proud of themselves. They don’t even care. They’re so fat and satisfied they can’t imagine it.

      I’m convinced that this is why the American government response to 9/11 was a panicked lashing-out. Wealthy Americans were attacked directly on their home soil. It disproportionately killed the sorts of people who have the wealth and connections to work on upper floors of office towers with expensive leases.

        That and the pentagon. IIRC there was an over representation of MIC companies in the trash centers as well.

    I was mulling over the idea of this case vs mass shooter today while running errands.

    There is only 1x target so definitionally it can’t be “mass”.

    To my mind it is somewhat of a puzzle, why he would do this, and only go for 1x target. Since he seems to have had no cover story or way to get out of it. Why not just go to speech this guy was supposed to give and find a few more viable targets? Surely if you are willing to go this far with no escape plan… I guess it depends on what this guy’s precise motivations were.

    He also didn’t have any kind of “suicide by cop” thing going on, which the mass shooters love because it removes them from any kind of accountability. Eventually we’ll learn if he thought he’d get away with it. Mass shooters never think they’re gonna get away with it.

      I know this is just speculation but I feel like he spent a long time building up to and planning this, got out of the city and kinda just didn’t know what to do next?

      Not sure if he wanted to be caught, but keeping the weapon, IDs, and manifesto with him definitely point to that

        It’s the reason I initially was getting tin foil hat about whether he was a fall guy. My current best guess to explain the discrepancy is that he was basically wavering back and forth on trying to get away Scott free or fully martyr himself.
