I hate false flag theories. Not because they are impossible, or because such things don't ever exist... but it just makes me feel so deeply exhausted. As do all the guns and all the people who think they can add more guns to solve problems.

I mean the real issue was there were not enough guns there, right?

@futurebird they weren't high enough caliber or automatic enough. (Him getting up and all)

@futurebird if only we'd armed the teachers with higher caliber rifles this would never have happened

@futurebird I'm pretty sure that is the typical response. And why not more prayers, too.

@futurebird eh no big deal, in the ideal world there would be guns laying around on every surface like a hoarders house. You know, just in case

@futurebird I'm more concerned about who in the crowd behind him got hit.

@futurebird But even more tired than that, I am so very tired of incompetence, like that time when they tried to kill Bolsonaro and then he won his election.

OK, thinking about it more I've pinpointed my issue with discussing or suggesting a false flag. You need to be RIGHT about that kind of thing. I don't think it's worth talking about superficially. That can just seem like ... not dealing with the chaotic and messy nature of reality? Wish casting is a way that makes these things damn hard to discuss when they are real. But it probably doesn't matter as much as I think. It's time to turn off the news. There isn't any news.

@cosmos4u I keep thinking it's pro-choice people. They are the only group who has a history of this kind of thing who has been recently wound up the wrong way. And I keep throwing it out there since it's silly to assume anything about this. It could also just be someone who isn't doing it for any coherent reason. In some ways that's most likely. It's kind of bizarre how much this matters in media narrative. Because we treat politics like it's a serial drama. Like every act has meaning.

@futurebird i was sorely tempted to entertain one of those this timebut way too many people want this man dead for that(and way too many people's desires far exceed their competence)

@apophis I don't think it can be ruled out. He's desperate. But violence is often simple and boring. It's just violence and someone died, some random person standing in the wrong place.

@futurebird @cosmos4u There's supposedly a faction of MAGAs that have decided Trump sold out to the "Deep State" and is now a traitor, because ... I dunno, something incoherent as usual.Even though it's a small group in numbers, right-wing nuts have been behind the vast majority of violent incidents in the recent years - it's not a given, but I won't be surprised if it turns out something like this.

@apophis Yeah someone behind Trump was hit and killed. (for all we know maybe they were the target... OK unlikely but that's how little we know about any of this. )

@futurebird I agree. It also undervalues truth and evidence when people leap to false flag conspiracies absent any evidence at all
