"getting rid of the confed flag does sweet actual fuck all in addressing the gun part of gun violence. [...] while it’s a) extremely worth doing and b) fucking shameful it takes a mass movement to get southern states to act like human beings, [cartoonist] is of course right.
actually trying to address the gun part of mass shootings will never go anywhere because of how fucked the country is, so discussion almost immediately centered instead on this symbol of racism and violence associated with the shooter. ultimately it’s a red herring, i just don’t think anyone should earn points for pointing out the obvious."
