[Peace-discuss] "The malignant resentments that erupted into mass murder in Virginia"

[Students for Social Equality]

The appeals to “move on” from officials combine callousness and stupidity. 
This has become a terrible cliché, repeated again and again, and directed 
against critical thought and feeling. No, people should not “move on.” 
‘Enough, back to business!’ Here is the backwardness and indifference of the 
entire social superstructure, which cannot and will not look the reality it 
has created in the face. It is part of the ongoing refusal to analyze or 
understand. The attempt to transform every mass gathering at the Virginia 
Tech campus into a “pep rally” has something perverse and unseemly about it.

“Normalcy never comes back,” nor should it. Everyone in America and around 
the world knows this is not the last such atrocity. This could happen in any 
part of the country, it is a matter of the nation’s social pathology.
