    168 children that did not get to live their lives and the perpetrators just get to go home and live theirs.

    You think she cares, she strikes me as the type of person would strangle 100 brown babies with her own hands if it meant her child could get a slight advantage.

    Think of if Iran had done this, or Russia, what would the news look like, or say. Or think of the sheer number of families and lives that were affected by that truly horrific act (or the sports facility that got hit by the new tungsten cluster munitions we were testing on kids). The anger that was created, the animosity that is the only thing some people have left. This isn’t a thing that happened and just goes away. This was an underwater avalanche that has sent a tsunami. The damage will be impossible to avoid.

    Oh, that’s different. They don’t really love their children like we do.

    They really believe that.

    Get Trump to bomb a maternity ward, then point out to the MAGA scum that he just aborted all those babies.

    Watch their heads fold inwards trying to parse that one.

    I wish this world was fair and that somebody called CPS on this psycho bitch. As somebody ‘raised’ by abusive ‘parents’ that also support this regime I would vote for forbidding people like this to have kids.

    It’s strange, I know America has done worse many times over, even done worse in my own lifetime. But…

    I don’t know, I think about those 168 children in that school frequently, it just flashes into my mind randomly during the day, and I start crying.

    Without the slightest pretext, excuse, or justification. No apologies. To not even pretend to care. On the first day of “the war” no less.

    It’s like it cracked some kind of emotional dam. I don’t have children, made the explicit choice despite very badly wanting to raise children, that this world is too cruel and headed towards the end too fast to believe there’s any moral sense in which having kids is OK. But now all the horror of living in this country feels inescapable. We just let kids die everyday at school, to the point that we’re so numb as a society we just watch hundreds of children die in the most terrible ways and shrug like “oh well, gotta sell 3 more cars today or i won’t be able to afford my AI babysitter.”

    No amount of voting blue, protesting, or donating to the “right causes” erases this dreadful sense of moral failure, like I live in a truly actually cursed culture, with the unshakeable feeling of complicity in the operation of the orphan crushing machine.

    I would just really really like it if we could stop supporting the endless slaughter of children.
