Those poor Parkland teenagers are figureheads for a bunch of gun control orgs whose ‘politics’ and language surrounding mental health is drenched in ableism and based on armchair diagnosing murderers. This was inspiring for maybe to weeks total and now I’m just distrustful and jaded again.
Oh and I just saw the video where they have these kids talmbout how assault weapons should only be used by the military and the police so That’s Definitely Over for me. That movement is dead, they’re not getting more of my time because as “intersectional” as this thing is on the surface level, them stanning the police and being a-okay with gun violence against innocent victims of the American military let’s me know this is just repackaged rhetoric I’ve heard before.
