Don't think so.

Been following the protests this past week on Twitter and observing conservative reactions. There's an interesting schism going on because some of them just really hate Jews so the idea that "dirty" leftists are fighting with Jewish students is amusing to them. They're imploring other conservatives not to intervene because they're hoping these protests alienate Jews from leftists and collectively weaken their enemies.

Still others simply see satisfaction in leftists being the target of violence. It's similar to their takes on the George Floyd protests; the protestors are dum dums who don't know what they're protesting, they couldn't find Israel and Gaza on a map, they're simultaneously poor and rich, entitled, gonna get away with everything yet gonna be in jail forever, etc etc.

People have been cheering on 'frat boys' attacking protestors and I guess it's just a new iteration of proud boys in a way, a group that serves as a stand in for the wishful thinking of reactionary viewers in the peanut gallery. They wish so badly to be among those who get to crack some skulls but since they themselves don't have the actual resolve they have to experience it vicariously by those undaunted by consequences.

My good dude, the drive-by shitposters full of empty neener-neenering and poo poo-hot takes are not getting chillsixers because they're new to the room, they're getting chillsixers because they're drive-by shitposters full of empty neener-neenering and poo poo-hot takes. This thread and others like it have had plenty of anti-gun people wander in over the years and ask actual questions instead of Just Asking Questions™, and they haven't been punted; they usually wander right back out again when they realize that nobody here is a chud or a MAGAt.

love the idea that all these people shitposting are simultaneously watching news coverage of cops (the same people who would be oh-so-equitably applying their imagined gun ban laws) absolutely brutalizing the gently caress out of peaceful university students (and previously white and brown/black people alike protesting racial injustice) and just... doing the ravenous jack nicholson meme face.



maybe your simplistic response to a complicated problem is not, in fact, as well-conceived as you previously thought? nah, tfr must be secretly lusting for child murder
