Why is anybody even upset over this?
i'm convinced that no one actually is--it's just that it's so much more fun to be "ironic," and to pretend that everything is backwards, because circlejerks are boring
everyone already knows people like hitler were evil, so it seems silly to even discuss it--so you pretend he was actually doing humanity a favor. why? because the reactions you get from people when you say that are pretty funny
if we all sat around talking about how bad people like hitler were, it would be boring--it's an insult to your intelligence, so we come up with other, more interesting ways of expressing that, like "hitler was actually a great man"
which essentially translates to, "of course hitler was bad, you 10 year old--allow me to offend you as much as you're offending me by stating such an obvious fact"
that's why i'd describe our sense of humor as "post-ironic"
some people (like das) almost make a game out of this sort of thing, glazing their entire body of beliefs with a thick layer of post-irony, because liberals today have a tendency to state the obvious a lot, and it gets annoying
Wait, people are joking about Hitler? Are you telling me I'm the only one who truly supported his cause?

Beyond Woodstock, a few Jimi Hendrix songs, and the folk singer who they probably know primarily as the father of Wallflowers lead singer Jakob Dylan, they probably have little knowledge of the turbulence of the 1960s. Be that as it may, I still contend that these killers are the heirs of the youth rebellion of the sixties, that they are engaged in a similar struggle, and that they may have upped the ante on their radical forebears.
While these young boys may have no Port Huron statement, no manifesto, and no coordinated actions (that we know of), they are a legitimate radical faction that may have one-upped the violent Weather Underground and the revolutionary Abbie Hoffman. These boys have truly embraced "revolution for the hell of it," maybe better than Abbie ever did.
The randomness of their "non-campaign" may be the ultimate expression of "rage against the machine," ripping into the system, as it were, at its most vulnerable and fundamental level, perhaps more so than Weatherman’s bombing of the U.S. Capitol.
While these school-age killers have no Vietnam War to protest, and may be criticized by former hippies for having no cause for which to fight, I contend that the struggle in which these boys are engaged may be as fundamentally important as ending the war in Vietnam (or imperialism, or racism, etc.) was to the hippies, Yippies, Diggers, and Panthers of the bygone era. These children, while they do not articulate the sentiment or may not even realize it, are fighting a system as insidious as the military-industrial complex was to their 1960s counterparts. They are fighting the American educational system and, by extension, the so-called American way of life. And, it would seem, with good reason.

Merely positing that the seemingly recent phenomena of kids killing kids at school may be analogous to, or the "Generation Y" equivalent of, the radical movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s will no doubt raise the ire of many. Critics will undoubtedly ridicule my assertion as misinformed and absurd. I will be lambasted for asserting that schoolhouse murderers may be entitled to the same status and legitimacy given to 1960s-era leftist protesters, even formerly violent protesters such as Rudd. Many will assuredly cry that these wanton young killers have nothing in common with the "power to the people" radicalism and peace and love counterculture of 30 years ago. Killing children, they will say, has nothing to do with protest, it does not seek to and will not solve our great problems, and it is assuredly not the path pointed to by the 1960s radicals of the Left.
When I attempt to raise the image of the Weathermen’s violent behavior of the 1970s as a defense, my critics will undoubtedly counter that the Weather Underground betrayed the principles of its parent organization, the Students for the Democratic Society (SDS) and the movement itself, by poisoning the Left with violence. They will further point to the fact that even members of Weatherman have since renounced and denounced their violent past. I, however, posit that today’s child-killing children never read Mark Rudd’s repudiation of violence in the January 18, 1989 issue of the Guardian. Moreover, I will go so far as to say that most, if not all, of these youthful killers have never heard of Rudd, Weatherman, Abbie Hoffman, or many of the icons and intricacies of the radicalism of the 1960s.

by Nicholas Turse (Columbia University)
On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold engaged in a shooting and bombing spree in Columbine High School that left fifteen students, including the alleged gunmen, dead. Shortly thereafter, feints at copycat-ism, threats of similar violence, and other school shootings followed. These events fit a pattern which seems to have emerged in the late 1980s, has been nurtured throughout the 1990s, and, if we are to believe the outlook of media pundits and politicians, is worsening as we bid adieu to the century. Are scenes of school violence—of young men arming themselves to make war on their classmates—the social problem of the coming millennium? Do we stand on the edge of an apocalypse brought upon us by teens without morality, driven mad by Marilyn Manson, video-gaming, and television violence? Is this the proverbial seventh sign? Or is this simply the radical protest method of choice in America today?
When a youngster decides to make war on his school and classmates, the media leaps to vilify him, his alleged influences, his weaponry, and his parents. Politicians are keen to do the same, and capitalize on the shootings by pushing for new firearm regulations and stiff penalties. And why not? Don’t we punish psychotics bent on threatening life and property, set upon destroying the "American" way of life? Shouldn’t we condemn those who take the lives of others through "senseless" violence? Or should we try to make sense of it? Preferring the latter option, I propose that kids killing kids may be the radical protest of our age, and that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold may be the Mark Rudd and Abbie Hoffman figures of today.
