    School shooters have the ability to shoot back. Unarmed protestors don’t. It’s easy to act tough when you have $10,000 worth of tactical gear against a random group of university students.

    Why do schools have anti-bullying campaigns, when there’s like a whole government supported division devoted to training and employing the best bullies out there?

      “No bullying!” students disagree with genocide “Police, police! Get those fuckin’ nerds! We’ve got lockers you can stuff them into if you want!”

      'Course, “anti-bullying campaigns” seem to have a tendency some places to either have some serious cracks or actually make things worse at least some of the time. Same with other “student protection” initiatives, some schools just mysteeeriously have interestingly high rates of traumatized students going out compared to coming in.

      (In case it’s unclear, I’m complaining about shit schools letting students get attacked in various ways but trying to pretend they’re not just letting it happen or quietly encouraging it. In the US at least, the “education system” being gross or outright vile does not stop at/after high school: it’s top to bottom bullshit same as what at this point feels like every other “system” around here)
