active shooter simulacrum

active shooter simulacrum

...In that Empire society feared more coverage of the copycat running the streets of anxiety. He seemed to come around more and more often in those days. You could hear shots fired, someone scream. Shots fired? Huddled masses in front of screens and in the big movie houses tightly packed for riot. Fall low and flat, hit the floor, duck and cover, play dead just like we practised until it is time to take action.RUN! HIDE! FIGHT! Don’t panic this is another mass shooting. Active shooter! active shooter on campus, someone had the wherewithal as the active shooter danced. This is what is known so far... there are multiple victims and several heavily armed gunmen. This story had traction, so main stream media kicks it into action. Freeze the scene at the proper angle. Lookup, from where you sit you can’t see the distortion shaped like greek statues. Reality walked through this stage of trompe l'oeil, where minds were bent into this becoming truth. They lived in this hyperreality concussed with suicide bombers, in fear of more copycats their minds fed on anxiety. This is no drill! MSM produced a reflection that became perversion then fell to pretense. News was just an illusion of circular ruin. We now live in a simulacrum to the second power, a seemingly simulated disney of destruction, a westworld hologram of wickedness. Desensitized you ask, did that just take place? That did not take place...did you hear the real shots, taste the bullets, see the real blood or feel the pain? Only terrorized perceptions were on scene for that reality. The kills died with their views at the hands of a fireteam, a murder squad. Transformed from the original, active shooters of infamy, active shooters of no name, the event was no longer the original. It was a media event! drowning in rhetoric and virtual reality are our true fears, real agony and despair. Reporters go on rampantly, there are multiple confirmed fatalities and walking wounded, including the truth that cleverly concealed there is no truth. We are all chasing folly in the wind.  Where is the shock the horror? It is just another mass shooting trending. Another misspelled assumption headline posted for comment. It is an addon going down the social media rabbit hole building and expanding this matrix of simulacrum. Now our monitors display the images as we walk through them again at the end of the day. We chase PTSD faithfully on repeat long after the event. Images that even get rated at the end of every year. Masking and denaturing more evil appears as prototype. Where does your food come from? That tomato? How did they make that gun you paid for with fiats? Active shooter! Active shooter on the streets, in the building, drop a pin on the map! The events just kept coming until the Empire was the event. Finally victims agreed it was War. Language is deadlier than the gun! It should have been a crime to question the historicity of every event. Freedom turned to media blackout on the lone wolf shooter! Defenseless, that great Empire crumbled to tattered ruins leaving nothing to toss but an unconscionable map full of pins, a few symbols, weapons and the guns. Simulacra of peace from tricolored flags to one, this planet had become a dustbin. This Empire is a precession, save no relics. BREAKING NEWS...Live Update! How many? Who died today? Another search is underway for an active shooter... True or False?
