      Mocking drug addicts isn’t going after all of American society. Do you think Charlie Kirk was going after all of American society when he did the same thing?

      Its like trying to mock Europeans by doing racism against Roma people. Its not criticizing all of European society, you’re literally doing the same shit our conservatives do.

      When you mock the victims of a school shooting, you’re not criticizing all of American society or system that creates school shooters, you’re just being a reactionary piece of shit, and we have enough of those.

          That’s exactly the difference, because that would be focusing on the system victimizing the children, rather than mocking the children themselves for getting shot.

          Hell you could genuinely do the children getting shot as a satire of conservatives’ lack of response to school shootings, but that would be mocking conservatives, not the victims.

          Its not that any group is off limits, its the actual message can’t just be “haha <oppressed minority> bad”

        They’re mocking the society that is so sick and disgusting that it allows for people to become addicted to and ruined by drugs, en masse.

        They’re doing it in a way that offends your moral sensibilities, because you are seeing individual victimized people who belong to a different group than yourself.

        They’re seeing a society that is fundamentally broken and disgusting, getting worse, not doing anything to collectively better itself, of which you are just as much a member of that group as the fent head is.

        Yeah, we do actually need a bit of ‘fuck your feelings’.

        We need to actually fix things, not just complain and be offended on behalf of others whom we are not actually helping with our moral indignation alone.

        We need to do better.

        The world has run out of patience for all forms of our self-righteous bullshit.

        We already has another recent post get pretty big explaining that… nobody who isn’t American cares about American’s apologies, their perfect moral stances that… result in absofuckinglutely no change whatsoever, other than Americans having scripts by which they justify their self-centered ness and be insufferable on the internet.

        Everyone is at their wits end with all of us, the way that we have been at our wits end with our own political/ideological opponents for a decade now.

        Don’t expect sympathy or pity.

        We’ve burned through all the goodwill, none remains.

        You can say that isn’t fair, to which the rest of the world would likely laugh, uproariously.

        I don’t suggest it as a general demeanor, moving forward.

          You’re jumping through a lot of hoops to justify making fun of drug addicts. Are we gonna bring back “tactical slur” discourse next?
