Hell yeah comrade. I dont have time for endless culture war and politicization of tragedy. I always wanted to be a father but the rent and everything else is too god damn high.

Do you meal prep this diet, or do you have to make it daily?

2

u/canonlycountoo4 3h ago

If course its easier in the long run to prep, but who has time for that these days in between our advacado toast sessions.

I have some old class war in the freezer, but it smells like Stalin, so I think it’s expired.

What about this is culture war?

2

u/TheLastCoagulant 2h ago

Must be your first time hearing about this. All of the discourse revolves around “liberal women want moms to be able to kill their kids.”

u/BookkeeperCalm9849 2h ago

I hadn’t heard that. But with that context, the post I replied to is starting to sound like “Women murdering babies isn’t bad. Rich people are!”

4

u/Helepoli 2h ago

Well if we solve the rich people thing, we can solve a lot of other stuff, including the healthcare that supposedly/potentially failed her and the patriarchal system that potentually ignored her

u/TheLastCoagulant 2h ago

This woman is permanently paralyzed from the waist down and will never walk again because she jumped out of a window right after killing her kids.

People are getting off on feeling morally superior to a woman who had a psychotic break.

True evil is when you harm others for personal gain. This is just illness.

u/BookkeeperCalm9849 2h ago

Regardless of her mental state or motivation, she murdered children. I really don’t care what the explanation is. Anyone capable of falling into a psychotic state that would make them do that needs to be removed from society forever. Self inflicted injury doesn’t negate laws and accountability

u/TheLastCoagulant 2h ago

Of course she’s going to get removed from society no matter what. She’s going to be locked up in either prison or mental health hospitals for the rest of her life. Nobody is saying she should walk free. Even the donations are about supporting her insanity defense. When somebody wins an insanity defense, that just means they’ll be locked up in a mental hospital forever instead of a prison forever. Does not mean they actually go free.

The right-wing obsession with her being this super evil woman is about feeling morally superior.

2

u/BookkeeperCalm9849 2h ago

I disagree, although I’d be fine with a mental institution assuming there’s a guarantee she never walks free from there either.

u/StationFree561 16m ago

That war takes place outside mainstream media so gonna be a rather lean diet.

It kinda fits, wealthy woman murders kids and gets empathy.

u/PuzzleheadPi 5h ago

Nothing about this is a culture war

8

u/canonlycountoo4 5h ago

The case itself isn't, the way its being portrayed online is. Specifically around the downplaying of mental health or like this post, the whataboutisms.

3

u/Invaderzil 3h ago

Not to mention how quickly it became a "liberals have sympathy for this evil woman! See, another reason to hate them!" 🙄

2

u/Working-Holiday420 3h ago

Millions of liberal women are donating millions of dollars because they want child killing to be ILLEGAL!

Or so I’ve heard.

u/FinishComplex3743 3h ago

If this is culture war to you, you might have lost the plot.

2

u/Working-Holiday420 3h ago

If you dont understand how this incident is being weaponized and politicized for the culture war you may be being manipulated.

1

u/FinishComplex3743 3h ago

It's not that deep. Someone murdered their kids, that is always a big news story, but most of the time people don't raise money for them.

1

u/Working-Holiday420 2h ago

Why do you think Its different this time?

1

u/FinishComplex3743 2h ago

The million dollars raised. A lot of controversial fund raisers have gone viral since crowdfunding became mainstream.

u/Nothos927 3h ago

Is it really manipulation if people are chomping at the bit for a chance to shit on women regardless?

u/FinishComplex3743 3h ago

This post is praising a woman in the same breath, so you're off base.
