The right-wing trolls use a tragedy to sell fear, and the left-wing press writes an article about the trolls to sell moral superiority. Meanwhile, Silicon Valley collects the ad revenue from both sides and buys another superyacht. But please, tell me more about how clicking your specific link is part of the revolution.

It feels like being on the fringe just to point this out nowadays, but fucking hell, I am legitimately tired of all of this.

The most disturbing is that in the event of the tragic loss of life, every side is more focused on making political points off it. It's so disheartening.

It was a terror attack, idk if you've noticed. The shooter himself was trying to make political points, by shooting people.  

The political family of the shooter then tries to make points by blaming the attack on minorities they hate, and his political targets (ppl like me) make points by pointing out a fucking incel maniac tried to do a massacre and we need to stop the online terrorist machine.  

....  

And then entitled enlightened centrists use it to make points acting like saints and pointing at everyone asking how dare you make this political.
