Ways in which we excuse white male violence while stigmatizing others:

It’s mental illness not guns
Boys will be boys what was she wearing

Gay panic
Trans* panic
Economic anxiety

We have an entire pathology dedicated to comforting white dudes who feel pinched.

And this pathology is baked into the cake. Remember this entire economic and legal system was designed to keep white dudes comfortable

BTW my kids average a lockdown drill a month between the two. Let’s chat about how this is part of normalizing white male violence too

A white dude feels entitled to X (usually free reign over a woman) and doesn’t get it. Hide in the closet with a lollipop and don’t get shot

Lockdown drills are not tornado drills but we treat them the same because the NRA and their brethren insist they are the same

Neither my 12 yo nor my 7 yo know a world without pissed off white dudes storming a space with military weapons because of hurt entitlement

Btw if you are a hunter about to jump in my mentions get a new hobby bc you clearly suck at your current one. Who wants shrapnel in meat

As I was saying. Don’t be shocked the white dudes in power DNGAF about pathological white male violence. They are practicing it too.

The law recognizes that a person can be negligent/guilty for their failure to act. I mean.

(Also. White populists appeasing. We see you)

And white dudes feeling pinched was kind of the overall arching narrative of the last election huh?

And it’s totally weird that pinched white guys both the right and the left work that out on the lives of everyone else

*cough Liberty U

Anyways. Thoughts and prayers and defending Vermont hunters all around
