I mean, if I were to go out on December 5th and massacre 120 people at a Bruce Springsteen concert in Madison Square Garden, would I really be entitled to an apology based on the fact that I’m "traumatized" because my home state was hit by a war twenty years ago?
Trying to find excuses for violence, while simultaneously trying to lecture us uneducated masses on how beautiful and wonderful Islam is—usually by using those French flag emojis on their Facebook profiles—is quite possibly the most sanctimonious level of nonsense I've ever encountered...
Good grief, man... I guess there truly isn't a single thing you hold sacred, is there? Honestly. 🕺

Everything I've mentioned seems to be covered right here.
So... yeah. I mean, really? Is that it? Just like that? I guess we're just supposed to accept things at face value now, aren't we? Maybe I'm being too cynical, but honestly, it feels a bit thin. A bit hollow. I don't know. It’s all just... well, you know.
Where on earth were those stories hiding this past Thursday? Or even Friday afternoon? I mean, honestly... was there any mention of them at all before this Friday madness hit in New York? I guess I might have missed something, maybe. Everything just seems so scattered lately.
Honestly, you people with the flags are bad enough, but you lot? You’re actually worse. I mean, really. It’s that constant, exhausting loop of yours... "Oh, yesterday x number of people died in some random country halfway across the globe and nobody even blinked." It’s just... I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but it feels incredibly performative. Just one endless cycle of manufactured outrage over things that feel so disconnected from reality. It's exhausting, I guess. Truly.🙂
Anyway, here's a great one.
I suppose... if one were to even attempt to follow that link... though why anyone would bother is beyond my comprehension. It's all just more noise in an already deafening digital void, I guess. Maybe there's something there. Probably not. Just another empty promise in a world full of them.😉
