Reply to comment by similar_observation in After Monterey Park shooting, gunman targeted Alhambra dance studio, sources say by 5xad0w

Yeah, it's not the gun violence that's indicative of cultural malaise, it's your irrelevant political hobby horse that you really wanted to post about instead.

They're not mutually exclusive in regards to people's actions reflecting the state of society.. your comment is pretty ironic

No, my comment is "on topic". This is an article about a mass shooting, not a mass not-mask-wearing.

It was not only on topic but completely dismissive about another symptom of society’s devolvement.. we can have two thoughts in our heads at the same time. You just got mad because you view mask wearing as a “political hobby horse” which again, ironic

You're missing my point, but that's not really surprising what with nuclear proliferation and Obamacare these days.

Good one.. someone brings up another example of society getting less civilized.. you don’t like the example and deem it irrelevant and then as a joke bring up things about society that are actually irrelevant. Just doubling down on the irony of being egotistical and reactionary lol keep going, this is fun!

Covid-19 is directly responsible for the death of over one million US citizens. I'd tell you what I think of you, but that's against Reddit's TOS.

When you think about it, it really says a lot about a gunman shooting up a dance studio.
