I've always been a bit of a shitposting cunt who likes a bit of shock humour. Some tragedies are easy to make light of and exploit for meme shock.

The Manadlay Bay meme springs to bring.

The CHCH mosque memes feel too soon. I don't mean 'too soon' in a lightheaded sense to be that guy either. It feels genuinely uncomfortable. I thought about saving some, but even that feels wrong.

I've never felt this way about any terror attack. I am honestly shocked that it did happen here. It's a shame to be in a place where that thing didn't happen at all. We've had more terror attacks from the French than from Muslims. I feel like this is the start of something much more worse. Some Jihadi prick is seeking revenge right now, I bet.

We should honestly ask if this price is worth whatever positives we get out of that; this question has been evaded.

The question has certainly been evaded by those blindly supporting the immigration policies, but simply trying to discuss and imply that policy might not be good gets you labeled the standard "racist" and set of other phobias. It's the sort of thing where if I brought up that I think unfettered economic immigration is detrimental to a country, then I could lose my job. I'm not joking. I've had multiple people at work scream at me over the years for just being critical of illegal immigration and sanctuary cities in California.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. It is ironic that many of those who most loudly scream for tolerance have no tolerance for those holding views that contradict their own--and certain subjects are absolutely sacrosanct. In truth those are the ones who should be fired, for sowing seeds of discontent and poisoning any chance of peaceful and reasonable discussion, but I grow increasingly worried that we live in a world where the loudest and boldest extremists on both sides shape our future.

This is not a healthy state of affairs for a nation. Making a subject taboo to discuss and harassing and attempting to destroy the livelihood of those who have different beliefs is not what a free, tolerant, healthy, just, and sustainable society looks like. Evading a subject and refusing to debate its merits and demerits on logical grounds bodes very poorly for the future. Censoring opinions of those who disagree with you is really a sign of weakness that your arguments can't stand on their own, but I really worry since there is vanishing support for reasoned and logical debate anymore and vigorous support and respect for all freedoms seems to be receding.
