Political trials are nothing new. See also the Haymarket Affair (1886) or Sacco and Vanzetti (1920-1927) for famous historical examples of "class justice" in the USA ; those made-up trials resulting in 5 and 2 death sentences respectively.
It's pretty much a meme across the whole western culture (books and movies) by now that power corrupts and having privileges for certain classes of people is a recipe for insurmountable injustice.
Also worth noting, when one of those shooters is (even vaguely) connected to islam, the shooting is framed instantly across mainstream media as a "ISIS attack", whereas other shooters are depicted as "loonies" / "troubled men". But they usually have more in common than the media lets us know, especially their views on women and sexuality, and more often than not solid connections to the international neo-nazi/white-supremacist movement. See also Contrapoint's "Incels" video on that topic.
- Mirioron 5y agoI think the latter half of your last paragraph is falling prey to the same problem as the first half. The "incel" label is the same pattern by the public/media/government to label people as undesirables so you wouldn't ask questions.
- floor2 5y agoThe unintentional irony of this statement! The myth of neo-nazis or white-supremacists as any sort of significant group or movement is pure fiction. It should be treated as the same as conspiracy theories about elite pedophile rings meeting in pizza restaurant basements.
- bburrito 5y agoThere are definitely white supremacists and neo-nazis. You all showed yourselves at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. And with regards to theories about elite pedophile rings... Matt Gatez and Donald Trump have done a great job of showing that the republican party itself is an elite pedophile ring and Qanon was an attempt to project their own crimes onto others. Start your civil war. We put you down once. We will put you down twice.
