Comment on Why am I getting gore on my racism app?

Perhaps to desensitize the common person to the impending brutal violence that will be sweeping the united states.

On a related note, if you are a member of a marginalized group in the united states, you are behind the curve if you do not own, and are not basically proficient with, some form of self defense. This includes some kind of martial art, but a visible deterent is prefered.

  No idea who that is, but I learned an important lesson from Uvalde. One of the values that a capitalist society attenpts to instill is a sense of rugged individualism. Even professional tough guys, when thinking death is on the line, will hesitate, as we saw. As a minority in america, when some iteration of the proud boys comes knocking to check your birth certificate, it is imperative that you get them thinking that there’s a chance that they don’t walk away. Get them thinking, “What about me?” and you chances of survival increase.

The people who post that stuff want to psychologically damage people, especially young people. PTSD is real and has real effects.

I believe it is more refined than that. People in sound mind do not like violence, they want a peaceful and stable life for their families and friends.

If you show violence, you portray a threat. Over time people will be more lenient to surveillance and restriction of freedom in the name of law and order. Look at US people, tolerating torture and widespread vigilance since 11/9. All while still spewing “China bad” or “Putin bad”. Why? The ends justify the means.

Let’s see if it was a mistake or if the violence is here to stay in Meta apps

  We are speaking of the same tree, friend, though some roots go deeper than others. I think the path down the road you mentioned diverges here. I believe there was ill intent behind this, though I cannot offer any proof.
