At least 13 people were injured, five critically in two separate mass shootings at homeless encampments in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday. The first shooting took place at East Lake Street and Interstate 35W around 11am local time.

    Comrade, organizing online is fraught in the best of times but I think people are hyper aware of the risks of talking about these things online right now.

      Okay and I get that, but the hypocrisy thing just feels tedious. Like someone’s trying very hard to miss what they’re even doing when they make phonemes.

        I say this with kindness: what do your comments add to the discussion? Sometimes people just want to vent. It’s cool. Just scroll past.

        Why didn’t I scroll past your comment? Because I thought it might be useful to remind people to shut the fuck up.

          Shutting the fuck up is pretty great if you have literally any idea what to do. I’m not anti shut-the-fuck-up. It’s a really great solution for a lot of people. The best, even.

          I think i am also entitled to vent. Hearing libs shout about hypocrisy then aggressively shout down even the most mild plan of ‘okay but personally ask them to stop’ is pretty frustrating.

              I am aware, that’s why i praised it! I was hoping more to provoke thought than discussion. I figure most people still complaining about hypocrisy need encouragement more than caution right now. They need to understand cops are not god and statist ‘laws’ are not remotely the same kind of thing as physical ‘laws’ before they can actually practice caution especially for more moderate actions that might occur to them, like boycotts and stuff.

              Except for the passive space laser made of a single giant lense. That I would like discussed because it would be cool but I don’t actually know if it would work.
