  Well remember, this was the 90s. Today we’re all disembodied digital nomads so it doesn’t matter what is near or far, but back then there was still a sense of place that meant having a bunch of military-industrial institutions nearby would effect the local culture.

  And maybe that’s why shootings get worse every year. The physical location doesn’t matter anymore.

  Yeah yeah I’ve already seen your cynical video. America rules the world and as a result America’s evil is just so much bigger. No one else can compare to the scope and scale of the largest military, biggest weapons manufacturer, largest arms dealer, most aggressive foreign policy, etc. This creates a sick society because Americans (falsely) believe America represents them, so when it does evil it does it in their names.

  As for What Is To Be Done, no one is going to save us. We have to do it ourselves.

  The scale of America’s evil is just so much greater than every other country, so the scale of its own social sickness is similarly greater. It’s not that the US is special, it’s just the worst.

  From an interview Michael Moore gave to DemocracyNow he explains the connection pretty well, I think. America is a violent country and it makes violent people.

  1. the Columbine shootings occurred on the same day as the heaviest United States bombing of the Kosovo war,

  2. the number one private employer in Littleton is Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest weapons maker

  3. Rocky Flats, the largest plutonium-making place in the world, is just down the road

  4. NORAD is just up the road.

  But you don’t think children with a childhood steeped in violence and families steeped in violence are going to grow up thinking about this? All of this militarization and violence are a cultural miasma and children absorb the lessons taught to them by America.

  Kill your enemies, make them fear you, rule the world, Be a Man!

  The thing that stuck with me about Bowling for Columbine is that the school was in the same zip code as a DoJ establishment manufacturing rocket technology for war, in the most violent country in modern history. Drawing that connection between the violence done by the State and the violence done by citizens was very eye opening for me. The problem isn’t just the guns, or the NRA, or lobbying - the problem is that the United States is an evil country and we are all complicit in its evil. ‘Dad goes off to the factory every day, he builds missiles of mass destruction.’ What’s the difference between that mass destruction and the mass destruction over at Columbine High School?

  By that logic, everyone has a responsibility to educate uninformed people about enshitification. Every is uninformed until they aren’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the advantages of victimhood? What are the disadvantages of victimhood?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being able to blame someone else for something that happens to me makes me hate myself less and reduces the amount I want to die.

  The disadvantage is that people might correctly identify their enemies and do something about it. Can’t have that!

  Government incompetence is the main reason I didn’t go down the conspiracy rabbit hole. They’re too stupid to pull most shit off without tripping over their own dicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were so many people believers in the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s easier to believe the people in charge are secretly in control of everything than to believe they’re barely in control of anything.

  Or, in doing so, you’ll enable other people to become free riders off of your own efforts. “I don’t have to clean up after myself, @YungOnions@sh.itjust.works will take care of it.”

  Reduce, reuse, recycle.

  It comes first for a reason.
