    I expected a megathread when Israel bombed Qatar, not when some white-wing guy got shot.

    People really like a personal story over geopolitics, eh.

      In a way this is a much bigger deal. Shit being a violent mess in the Middle East all blues together. But this event could very well be a… turning point…for the USA 🤔

      For a long time now many people have felt that the U.S is like a powderkeg just waiting for the littlest spark, and I think this event is something that might actually do it. The right is PISSED, this is tantamount to declaring civil war to many of them. Yes this is a personal story, but the context of it and the ramifications it could kick off are in many ways more significant than the Qatar bombing.
