lmao he’s such an attention whore, can’t do the tiniest thing without a long-winded petty dramatic post about it

trends.google.com

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

‘Of course I would accept her help,’ Shanon told DailyMail in an exclusive interview. ‘She hasn’t [offered] it so far. I’m here. I’m okay.’

She said: ‘I would like to make amends with Simone personally – I’m just waiting for her and Adria. I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone. I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.’

impressively tone deaf. doing a tabloid interview and saying “don’t judge me on my past” after your last conversations didn’t work is like the pushiest and least remorseful thing you could do

Some of the projects included work from season 3 of the Amazon show Invincible

hype

Only half of Americans are against the idea of it lmao

just playing i respect it, personally i think we should aim for this

goofy mf language but good luck with that lmao

The same shit happened to gen z in like 2016 with leafyishere and Ben Shapiro and all the other anti-SJW shit my middle school classmates had going on. It was a phase for us, hopefully it’s a phase for them too. I watched so many guys in my high school grow out of the edgy conservative stuff and become decent people. I think it’s mainly a young boy with unlimited internet access sorta thing, before college they tend to mature out of it, at least from my experience

Remember a few years ago when reddit was convinced gen z would be more conservative because of polling on like, 13-17 year olds, and a few years later it turned out opposite?

Middle/high school white boys have long been prone to a reactionary phase, that doesn’t say anything about the generation as a whole

In 2020 31% of gen z voters voted Trump (with 28% voter turnout), compare that to 43% of millennials and 46-52% of other generations, that’s significantly less conservative than any other gen. Polling shows 18-24 year olds as the most progressive on social issues by a lot

Huh no we aren’t, we’re arguably miles more progressive than millennials

Redditors are mostly millennials and gen x anyways

Surprised Germany is red despite being full of radlibs and the vast majority of young Germans knowing fluent english tbh

Israel? Lying?

UK?? No chance that’ll pass right?

I agree the EU sucks but most labour voted remain, and the majority of pro-leave people were right-wing bigots. Brexit would be great under socialism, but that wasn’t and isn’t taking form in a neoliberal hellhole like Britain. Brexit was inherently neoliberal and made the UK even worse

fuck over workers and siphon wealth from the poorer eastern member countries to their wealthier western neighbors

The leave campaign was literally “us British have to siphon our tax money to eastern member countries” because the EU makes its wealthier states give money to its poorer states. That and anti-immigrant, xenophobic, racist rhetoric against both eastern Europeans and non-white immigrants brought in from the EU. Literally just fear mongering open borders for allowing “undesirables” in.

Lmao liberals will tell you we narrowly escaped the MAGA Reich because some incompetent losers broke a few windows and smeared human shit on the walls
