Scared for Europe. I was thinking a dark thought this morning back to the time of the Norway mass shootings. He purposely targeted a political youth camp for their progressive politics they were the Worker's Youth League. And I wonder if in the end he somewhat succeeded with his goal as the far right has caught onto the youth all around Europe.
I'm sorry for the young people. I'm sorry you are going down this path. I'm sorry you were failed by your governments, communities, friends and families. We like to think of combatting these issues on an individual level but this is a larger issue of the culture and community one is in. Individualistic answers will never replace the communal solutions needed. That seems almost impossible in the face of it all in this moment. We have problems here now, though no one wants to say Covid took hold and the youth saw themselves being thrown away their health and safety were secondary to the ruling class's money making schemes and the selfishness of the people in their personal lives. This segment also has one of the lowest vaccinations rates. The past four years with everything they are saying to hell with all of it.
Breivik and Roof are smiling. McVeigh, Rockwell and Kaczynski are very proud in their infernos. Stieg Larsson is crying in a better afterlife somewhere.
