I guess the algorithm knows I’m off to America. I got sent a video of a woman being murdered this morning. A guy is deliberately near the front of her car that she is driving slowly away from him. He knows that he can take a pop at her and be protected if he pleads self defence. He takes the shots when he is already out of danger. He’s a man in a uniform. The thing she did wrong from his perspective was to not respect his fragile authority. She was never driving at him. She was ignoring him and knowing if she drove slowly enough away from him he would stop walking into her car to try and stop her.
How can we be expected to respect the authority of someone who does that sort of thing in a uniform? What world are we building? There are humans capable of writing in complete sentences who I have met in person who are already putting out posts to openly state that she was in the wrong and deserved it. I am very close to blocking them but we have to be able to see the “sane” face of madness. So I don’t block them. But because she was queer and clearly disapproved of the immigration militia in her area, there are people who can’t see past their opinion of that sort of thing.
If that is your tendency, watch the videos and take your personal politics out of it. If you can’t, do a pretend and pretend that the man in uniform with a gun is the silly baddie who is stupid and believes in all the baddie things, and the woman is the goodie protecting and enforcing the nice good things. Anything you can do to trick yourself into just… being able to watch objectively. If you’re still capable of such things. Surely you are? If not we are truly lost.
Because objectively it is a spontaneous opportunistic act of murder. And yes, ideology is wrapped up in it. Because the shooter surely is in the militia for personal ideological reasons. I could almost hear him think “I’m in contact with her car. I’ll show this liberal bitch what’s what. Pam Pam Pam” If a beast takes human prey, that beast is stopped. This guy has to be has to be has to be has to be taken off the job for good, banned from guns and ideally put in prison until he knows what the fuck he did.
The fact he took the shot is awful. The fact that ANYONE is now trying to say it wasn’t awful is almost impossible to comprehend. The fact that people in positions of great power and responsibility… I can’t, I just can’t. I’ve got to go there. La la la la la
We have a thing in the AYLI company now where if things get too hard to contemplate we find a nice photo of a tree or a sunset and we all go “ooh look it’s a lovely tree/sunset/tree in the sunset.” Isn’t it nice? This was taken in Edwardes Square in autumn by Lou. Ahh those happy summer days. Make England Spring Again. Happy tree. Happy tree. Happy tree.
When will this fever break?
