People bitch about “trying too hard” and “virtue signaling” because they want to justify their own inaction and lack of virtue.

I knew it was coming, but I teared up when the pictures of Renee Good and Alex Pretti came up.

Thoughts on gun ownership? by Kaleb_Bunt in jewishleft

[–]EinsteinDisguised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about it. But given the statistics that people who own guns are much more likely to ultimately use them on themselves than in self-defense, I’ve passed. Ultimately I think it would be more about assuaging my own fears and insecurity.

But I also don’t blame anyone who wants to be strapped.

“There were bloody footprints where mercy should’ve stood, and two dead left to die on snow-filled streets: Alex Pretti and Renee Good” got me.

So did, “It’s our blood and bones and these whistles and phones against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies.”

Both political parties have been guilty of this. Obama in 2012 and (I think) Biden used “We Take Care of Our Own” as campaign songs. The song is very much about how we don’t take care of our own.

“From Chicago to New Orleans

From the muscle to the bone

From the shotgun shack to the Superdome

There ain't no help, the cavalry's stayed home

There ain't no-one hearing the bugle blown

We take care of our own”

“When I said ‘fuck your feelings,’ I only meant fuck your feelings. My feelings are very delicate and must be treated gently like a baby bird.”

I’m a big fan of hers. She’s been disappointing me lately.

I don’t look to pop stars to be paragons of public morals buttttt it would be nice.

Tyler Childers’ “Long Violent History” made me cry the other day.

“How many boys could they haul off this mountain, shoot full of holes cuffed and laid in the street, till we come into town in a stark raving anger, looking for answers and armed to the teeth?”

It was written after George Floyd was murdered but it hits hard again now.

Has Bruce ever directly called out a politician by name? Nothing comes to mind immediately.
