Murder AND Blame Game Are Stupid, Say Hairy And Shelob



[recorded segment begins, Blog fcn(on)]
[Hairy stops newsfeed on neuralink] HEY! Shelob!
You are on open channel, involved in the news again.
Nevermind about that! I'm MAD.
Anger is rare for you. [signals medbot]
Because! The lamebrains out there are doing it again!
Congress is acting as usual?
Not those lamebrains! Well, some of those lamebrains. I mean multiple lamebrains of every spot!
[Initial aphorism search: .00082 seconds] Stripe.
Whatever! Remember when I pointed out that humans point at each other too much and not at themselves enough?
You blamed it on the rigidity of their vertebrate nature. They can only point in one direction per limb at once.
Well, they're doing it again in bulk. That newspaper that that guy shot up?
The recent local newspaper shooting in the metropolitan area.
Yeah. People started ignorantly saying it's because of the alt left, or Trump, or conservatives, or the media, or any old tired 'other' group they're not a part of.
They were, yes. Especially pundits, who speak from speed and ignorance.
Well, they got it wrong again.
The 'suspect' had a grudge about the newspaper acting responsibly. His lawsuit was thrown out of court.
That's NOT what I mean. People have to think for themselves, not do what some ideologue tells them! Not lash out based on other people! Who in their right mind just assumes their side of ANY argument is sound enough to justify the wrong actions of another? Who automatically assumes that any one ideologue has enough power to incite murderous behavior, even among the REALLY stupid?
You are guilty of two of four of those.
[five pupils dilate] Two of four what?!
You tell people what to do like most ideologues, and you lash out at other people.
Okay, I only lash out with words and DON'T tell people it's actually OKAY to commit violence. As for me being an ideologue? My ideology is that people need to THINK MORE.
People thinking more--this is a part of your mission here.
I know. Blog on this? Personal responsibility?
Yes.
Thanks, Shelob. [exits lair to swim deep and cold, possibly to quell anger]
Jihadists and pundits worldwide speak of imaginary power over others. True power lies within individual choice. Every human being is a swing voter in every issue. Harming or killing people is a small expression of the most pathetic form of power. If it were a great power, it would entail a great responsibility to ONLY kill the 'right people.' Luckily the human race is too error-ridden to be successful in only killing those intended. Therefore, murder is not a great power. No one has the right to kill others over an issue, be it political, religious, or sexual. Therefore, blaming anyone except the murderer is a sign of a lack of intelligence, just like murder is.
