he didn’t though, at least in the mainstream. liberals made him this funny thirsty trend for like a week and a half before they forgot about the whole thing, without having any serious class dialogue.
going off a bit of a tangent: my mom’s a former nursing assistant who went into debt studying to become an LP-nurse when i was in middle school. as an assistant nurse, she developed arithitis from lifting patients with mobility issues every workday, yet she hasn’t been able to afford a doctor’s appointment in years (or eye care, or dental care). by the book, 2 workers should be lifting patients with proper technique, yet that’s rarely the case due to intentional under-staffing and time constraints.
she usually worked in nursing homes; dressing people, hand feeding them, showering/bathing them, cleaning their excrement, etc. nursing assistants spend the most amount of time with patients, so she made a ton of meaningful connections with them over the years. a lot of patients would (and still do) tell her how they can’t afford treatment or surgery themselves. after a patient passed (some of whom she’d be grieving over), she and a coworker were usually in charge of cleaning their stiffening bodies and lifting them into bags to be sent to the morgue.
assistant nursing (along with regular nursing to an extent) is one of the most dangerous jobs in the US by far, with up to 60% of facing an injury per year (most commonly back injuries). figuratively and literally the backbone of the healthcare industry who work for barely above minimum wage with little direction or support. if anyone has the most reason to [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], it’s them
unfortunately most people turned it into a funny trend to talk about how cool and hot he is and moved on instead of creating any substantial mainstream dialogue on class consciousness. didn’t help that he had incoherent politics and his (supposed) manifesto didn’t say much.
i guess the halo effect helped more people agree with his actions, but part of me wonders how different we’d talk about if the shooter was an average joe with a story to tell, like a 50 year old denied life saving treatment, or someone like my mom: she works in healthcare, yet can’t afford medical treatment for issues working in healthcare caused
if you wanna tell apart american gen z from gen alpha, ask them if they know what this is:
gen z used these smartboards and the teacher always made someone recalibrate the touchscreen to the projection when it was off
afaik the new spoiled shits all get these in every classroom, they were rolling em out when i was graduating:
at least in places that can afford it. this might be more true in a few years
Hey smartass Germans have been getting faded for a while, it’s been de facto decriminalized for years (aside from in B*vria). Go to any major German city in the past decade or two and you’d smell it as fast as in Cali. If you spent a day in Berlin you’d smell it on the clock lmao
Redditors are mostly millennials and gen x anyways
Israel? Lying?
You sure? I reverse searched it and it was a photo on wikimedia commons from 2014

Mr Osama sir your fired
Cuba is at 57.5%, also one of the highest in the world percentage-wise
What do you think about sources having depicted the Donetsk People’s Republic as a part of Ukraine?
The Telegraph is the only one reporting this, we’re supposed to believe a sensationalist conservative tabloid?
I’m a zoomer and my middle & high school had us do a large majority of stuff on a computer, so my handwriting kinda sucks now
whenever I use pen & paper now, I look at what I wrote and realize I still have the handwriting of a fucking 12 y/o. I also type a lot faster than I write
Ah yes, we should liberate women by restricting their freedom to wear what they want to wear the western white knight is here to let Muslim women know they don’t know what they’re doing because they’re small-minded and brainwashed
Also, weird how you bring up burqas under an article that doesn’t mention burqas. And you make it sound like only far-leftists are against a burqa ban when most liberals/moderates tend to be too.
Libya was military intervention not war.
In high school, I dm’d a guy in my class “you’re handsome bro”
His response was something like, “you too man I appreciate it!”
We both assumed each other were straight after that, but like a week before graduation, he randomly tells me he had a crush on me. And when I tell him I felt the same, he was like “damn I assumed that DM was probably only a compliment”
lmao he’s such an attention whore, can’t do the tiniest thing without a long-winded petty dramatic post about it
