We have a country where the wealth class and political class work hand-in-hand to degrade social systems, impede community-organizing and mutual aid, destroy education, embrace fascism over democracy, and remove opportunities for advancement from everyone but their own children...

...and people wonder why we have a society that is so sick that children are lashing out with self-destructive violence?

And of course that violence and social degradation is then used as justification to further erode rights and autonomy.

Every day a new mass shooting. But the availability/access to guns is totally NOT the problem, right?

Lol it's all projection. "Of course they'd break the law and have illegal weapons, that's what I'd do!"
