A question rooted in this tumultuous time



It is because the nasty party have no sense of irony, are hypocritical to the nth degree and demand a standard from the left that they could never apply to themselves because it would display their rotten hearts in a way even they could not ignore, oh and...



A patriarchal white privileged male and stale society is always going to try and cling onto power by othering and demonising communities who refuse to speak the language of the oppressor.

1. Is it true that on the 8th day God created religion then on the 9th day created hypocrisy?

5. We're supposed to act like mass shooters spontaneously generate or something?

When it comes to looting, we're supposed to blame black culture. We're supposed to assign some sort of collective blame.

But yet, we never hear of "culture" when it comes to the school shooter, we are not supposed to hear about them being raised in a white society where EVERYTHING is a "war on (something)", we're not supposed to talk about parents and school officials who miss red flags, we're not supposed to talk about the police who might catch them about to commit the tragedy but waved them off as "we can't do anything" or "they're just being a kid".

Yes, something's not right here.
