   I haven’t heard that any motive has been discovered (or at least released to the public).

   On a lighter note, I really wish we were live in the timeline where this:

   really happened, instead of the timeline that we’re currently in.

   Long term modifiedRNA contamination of one’s immune system is a function of having taken these experimental genetic therapy drugs. Both the pseudouridinated franken-viral RNA and the lipid nanopartical packaging can cause long-term problems. There’s a reason they were only being used in stage 4 cancer treatments up to this point*

   The FLCCC site has tools for treating “long covid”, i.e. spike protein and viral pockets that one’s body isn’t clearing on its own, and the “long vaxx” which is basically the same thing on steroids.

   Godspeed.

   *It’s still possible that this tool could have promise for cancer treatment, but Moderna went for the quick, consequence-free payout, i.e. vaccines. We may never know.

   “the motive of Rudakubana’s stabbing”

   Some twittering and cross-checking shows up some ideas (nb. mostly unconfirmed and some speculation and I’m leaving out the less…. likely ones)

   First he’s been Trayvoned in the media, almost all pics are of him as a sweet looking 11 year old and not the 17 (now 18?) year old who is the suspect.

   He shares a not-common-in-Rwanda last name of someone who was in the killing squads and which might… (repeat might) be his father.

   He’d been expelled from school for carrying a knife and supposedly said what the UK needed was a Rwandan style genocide….

   (an idea mooted here and there was that the UK took some of the perpetrators in the 1990s genocide in as part of a plan to try to cool Rwanda down so no government would want that to come out….)

   Put it all together and a picture of a young man raised to believe in the power and righeousness of ethno-racially targeted violence who put that into practice… again, lots of caveats about unconfirmed stuff which will most likely remain unconfirmed for the foreseeable future.

   There are probably also mental health issues at play though he’s a bit young to be a plausible victim of schizophrenia….

      I saw that newspaper accounts refer to him as “a boy” which is shocking given what he’s done. This is not a normal boy. This is a mass murderer of small children.

      I hope it’s being investigated ago and when radicalized him, how much his parents knew, and if he’s connected to a larger organization.

      It’s concerning that nothing new is being reported since the attack.

   I would like to return to the issue you mentioned in your previous post on Tampon Tim (“All we care is not what people do but they say.“)

   I’ve been reading through Robin Lakoff’s The Language War (2000) in which the noted linguist uses the tools of discourse analysis to make sense of issues that had been politically relevant in the late 1990s, which is also the time when the theme of “politically correct” language left the hallowed halls of academia and swiftly moved into the corridors of power and the patios of suburban middle-class homes.

   What has struck me in particular is what appears – to me – to be an almost neurotic obsession with words and issues of tone and nuances in utterances of all types, from the most mundane occasions to more formal circumstances requiring ritualistic expressions of chastising and apologising.

   The author writes from an explicitly liberal position – she says so in the preface, complaining about other linguists who, unlike her, never declare their conservative stance. Most of the cases studied refer to gendered situations – for example, the Anita Hill vs Clarence Thomas hearings, Hillary Clinton’s use of language, the Lewinsky affair and so on.

   My take from the book is that a lot of the s*** that is happening all over the world nowadays with regard to the Woke revolution has to do with the way in which many of America’s educated white middle-class women – mostly professional, mostly childless, mostly intent on reaching girlboss status – were deluded by the promise that they “could have it all”, and the subsequent unexpected and unresolved disappointments that came with it. No amount of therapy can make up for the feeling that you’ve been duped along the way and that you’ve been had all that time: the MeToo movement, the transgender moment, the Wokery and all the rest of it are epiphenomena of a deeper and wider ranging malaise that has affected and is affecting almost half of the adult population in the country.
