#BrandTheDailyWirePolemicistBenShapiro "The Texas shooter violated a multiplicity of gun laws. The suggestion that more gun laws would have prevented this act of unspeakable evil is unsupported, and the implication that those who oppose such laws are somehow in favor of mass shootings is morally reprehensible." #MassShooting2022RobbElementarySchool #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople ?
Addendum easy to make such statements - more difficult to substantiate them. I wonder then, what are the supposed 'violated gun laws' (listing them off)? And what impact did the existing laws actually have i.e. how did they hindered/fail to hinder the shooter? And rather than fatalistically dismissing the whole idea of regulating gun ownership - what laws would actually work i.e. what is a constructive way forward?

Context "Hundreds of users have shared an alleged Klaus Schwab family tree on Facebook since the end of July. Schwab is chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and has been the target of conspiracy theories in the past. The family tree provides a link to the Rothschild family, which has also been repeatedly at the center of anti-Semitic misinformation. However, the people depicted in the family tree are not Klaus Schwab's parents. It doesn't prove a relationship."

Supplementary "Yet the most important thing extremists on either side of the political spectrum have in common is a sense of deep self-pity. In their minds, they are always being 'marginalized,' or dominated or threatened by a seemingly omnipotent establishment. In the U.S., inevitably, race plays a large role in such feelings, though for opposite reasons on the left and right. Left-wing activists are obsessed, not entirely without cause, with 'white supremacy.' On the right, [Tucker] Carlson asks with a straight face: 'Is [Putin] teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination?' Both [Vladimir] Putin and [Donald] Trump like to portray themselves as victims -- or, at least, as leaders who speak for the victims of liberal elites, arrogant internationalists, critical race theorists or people who fail to respect Russian or American 'greatness.' It is this idea of victimhood that people, especially on the far right, identify with. Remember the degree to which Nazi propaganda was soaked in grievance: the treatment of Germany by the allied nations after World War I, the dominance of Jews who supposedly pulled all the strings of power. The first official heroes of the Nazi movement were 'martyrs' who had died in street brawls with leftists. Real victims exist, of course. But when powerful men exploit a fear of impotence to stoke popular anger, it becomes a dangerous force, for it is always bent on vengeance. When there is vengeance, there will always be blood." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/why-putin-unites-extremists-on-left-and-right/2022/04/02/ffde9248-b25a-11ec-9dbd-0d4609d44c1c_story.html #TheoryMarginalisation #PoliticsStatusQuoTheEstablishment #SlurWhiteSupremacy #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation #PoliticsFascismNaziPropaganda #NarrativeWarWWI #IdentityJewish #OtheringHateAntisemitismCaricaturePuppetMaster #MetaphorMartyr #TauntLeftist #TheoryCulturalImperialismWesternHedonism
