    The person doing the shooting was a fascist who thought vaccines as a category are bad. You are mad at someone for not cheering for armed antivaxx insurrection. You are not owning the democrats here.

    I’m not gonna cry over dead cops, but the antivaxx shooter isn’t a hero fighting for the proletariat.

      but the antivaxx shooter isn’t a hero fighting for the proletariat.

      Why do we have to endorse or denounce his actions or motives? In his stupidity, he clapped a cop. Don’t care what he believed, but this is a better outcome than most chud adventurists doing anything will have.

          Is it though?

          My reading was that people are scolding the top level comment for “critical support” of someone targeting an institution that chuds hate.

          To me, it’s clear this is a joke and the purpose of the original comment is to express joy that a cop got eliminated.

          I don’t think ButtBidet or anyone else here would be similarly celebratory in a repeat scenario where a bunch of CDC PMC libs got eliminated instead.

            It is, yes, thanks for asking.

            If your response to this this is “oh they don’t actually hold any negative views towards the cdc they’re just joking” then frankly you’re just being dishonest.

              The CDC can genuinely be an institution that does more harm than good and also not be a good target for adventurism.

              If you think @combat_brandonism wants terrorism to happen to the CDC because of this comment, say so.

              I interpret the “let them fight” emote as “Who cares? They are both dogshit. Why defend the CDC’s honor?” Not a celebration of the target choice. Nor wishing for violence for CDC employees.

              Again idgaf either way. Only put in my two cents because I felt that the accusation of being called a Strasserite and reactionary is extremely uncharitable when the commenter is clearly just fucking around, but also pissed that the CDC sacrificed some of our grandparents.

                Anyway we literally have people in this thread saying adventurism targeting the CDC is good actually, so I gotta say: Who do you think you’re fooling? Do you think there’s some hypothetical third party observer here who can’t read the thread themselves?
