I know it’s coming from a good place, but I can’t imagine a DA that would be on board with that. No telling what uniforms lie beneath white pointed hoods.

He didn’t have to wait long. This should go on MurderedByWords too.

Agreed. I think that’s the stage we’re at. It’s not occult or shocking anymore.

“Swastika armbands support Nazis!”

“Well, yeah, man, that’s why I’m wearing it.”

These people are openly spouting the same rhetoric as the Nazi party and vehemently oppose criticism of it. They can’t be shamed this way.

It’s definitely an abhorrent take to blame the victim. I wish it were uncommon enough for it to be incomprehensibly strange. To me it reeks of the insularity and rationalization of one who won’t accept the idea that the environment may have stochastic elements with significant influence.

The idea that injustice is common and can easily happen to anyone without the power to defend themselves is scary. It’s much easier to assume an orderly and just environment. I feel like that’s how we get comments like this. Their knee-jerk reaction sounds to me like:

“I’ve never experienced or observed something like this. He must have done it.”

Whereas, in my opinion, it should be:

“Wow, that’s horrible, and shouldn’t happen.”

I know we can’t solve all problems for everyone. Theres always going to be some kind of baseline for terrible things happening. I’m just repelled by the notion that there are people who will revel in it, even if ignorantly or naively.

I hadn’t heard of the Oregon one. He tried that with an election official in Colorado, too, though. Unsurprisingly, she’s still in prison.

Great. Now I’ve gone mad from eldritch horrors beyond human comprehension. Maybe try spoiler text and an NSFW tag next time?!

…and also a sentient, hungry forest, willing and able to feast on the flesh of your enemies.

I feel like this is the correct answer. I remember some people calling them “meemees” though.

That’s how I pronounce it, but I interpreted the post as implying the OP pronounces it “meemee.”

How many other people call them meems?
