What is interesting is so many young white men believe they are entitled to respect by birthright, and when it doesn't go as expected, they act as if society has rejected them, and completely lose their shit. They think they have a right to violent behavior, because the world is so "unfair" Meanwhile, this is only a tiny taste of what minorities deal with every day.
In conclusion, dude you literally got away with murder, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
I can't believe he's still breathing. Pretty sure if he was in the UK, despite our lack of firearms, he'd be six feet under by now. The US is fucked up. The fact he's only getting a bit of flak now after countless public appearances is just fucked. Gross.
I think these people have the same fear as me: that the oppression suffered by non-white people today will be suffered by white people tomorrow. That, I expect, is why they're so afraid of the “Great Replacement”.
The painfully obvious solution to this problem is racial equality. If no one is oppressed for their skin color, then white people are safe from such oppression too.
But instead of demanding that, these racists just lash out at non-white people, as if heaping more oppression on minorities will somehow protect the majority from being oppressed when it ceases to be the majority.
Where they got that idea, I have no idea. It's not like there's a natural law of conservation of oppression. If anything, a long history of oppression at the hands of white people will encourage the new majority to oppress white people in retribution.
I wish I knew why. To me, it's intuitively obvious that equality begets stability, and universal rights are more durable than exclusive privileges. But most people don't seem to realize this. It's baffling.
He is 21 now and he was a teenager when he hunted those people for sport.
Much of what he is results from the influence of adults in his life. He is responsible for what he did, but he did and is doing is a reflection on them.
@RickiTarr They feel entitled because that is what they're shown! They are given every benefit of the doubt based on some mythical "potential" alone. The potential has been shown to be BS compared to giving the same opportunities to those who do not look like them, but the narrative continues so that's what they believe. When they fail or it is proven to be untrue, yes, they lose their shit, because HOW DARE!!!
@nicholas_saunders@CatDragon@michaelgemar I agree, but he isn't treating other people with respect, he murdered innocent people and now he's doing a talk circuit, while I think people deserve respect, I think we can thoroughly condemn their actions, and we most certainly should.
@RickiTarr It's because they KNOW the world is slanted to them/their favor when they even get the smallest taste of equality (or lack of privilege as the case maybe) they can't handle it.
They've been brainwashed into thinking that is how life should be.
It's why they try to go back to it and take us with them...
(It's also why this dude in particular can't shut up... even though he tells on himself. He knows and he still wants more!)
@RickiTarr i would never put myself in the situation he put himself in. Partly cuz im not a psychopath, and partly because the police would do me like ol' yeller. there would be no trial y'all.
Even if the features were right, my politics are wrong; Trump ordered the assassination of Michael Reinoehl and NOTHING HAPPENED.
Turning Point USA is a fascist-style youth group spreading hate on college campuses. Fascist murderer Kyle Rittenhouse is the perfect spokesman for this outfit.
@RickiTarr plaster that crying photo on every article about Rittenhouse even beyond the day he dies. run it on his obituary. put it at the top of his wikipedia page. that moment is his monument. it's all this piece of shit should be remembered for.
@ignova@RickiTarr Didn’t he want to sue some publication because of this exact same thing? Like they called him a crying murderer with his picture (which he is). And then he tried to sue. Judge threw out the case as far as I can remember
@RickiTarr I'm glad the protesters were there. Turning Point USA is an awful conservative activist group operating largely in college and high school campuses and thankfully looks like KR is not gonna make it with them.
“After all the things I just told you, would you consider that hate speech?” the protester asked.
@potatosandwichjen@RickiTarr He received special treatment in a gangster kangaroo court whose worse-than-lowest gangster judge had already ruled in his favour before the trial even began. He may have gotten away with it legally speaking, but all that proves to me is that the law is amoral and will side with murderers as long as they are the “right sort” of person and the people they kill are the “wrong sort”.
@RickiTarr How many years before this guy realizes he's in a prison of his own making and he changes his name and disappears? Maybe we should start a pool.
