I wish I had hope for gun control and that I could believe “political violence has no place in this country”.
But we live in a country that accepts white children being massacred by gun violence.
Not just accepts, but worships violence.

When people say political violence has no place in this country:
People get shocked when I pointed out that gun sales skyrocketed over 200% under Obama, even while he was just the nominee..
And jumped even more when he became president.

Trump's segregationist agenda is a reaction to Obama
And we need to talk about it.

Trump has never even acknowledged the shooting at CDC - where an anti-vax gunman sprayed hundreds of bullets - where a police officer died.
He also left behind a wife and child.
RFK Jr returned to publicly spreading antivax lies within days.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

Gamergate never got the attention it deserved
It’s a significant story and folks unfamiliar should Google Karen’s work on it

I wrote one (1) story about Gamergate in 2016, was instantly targeted and threatened on social media, and was scared off from reporting anything further on online culture. Many media organizations have repeatedly failed to deal with bad faith attacks and are too often wholly unprepared for new ones.

This is a better explanation and coverage on the dark side of gaming and online culture than most mainstream media orgs have.
Because for years, mainstream media ignored / disbanded their gaming culture coverage.

I understand some of you don't have TikTok, but if you do, know that the explanation below is the best I've seen of what lay behind the Kirk assassination.
Robinson is an alt-right nihilist, but in a way that's hard for many to understand.
I think Aidan says what I want to say better than I could.

For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
