And you don't understand that USA is rebel nation and if you try to ban anything from drag shows to guns people will fucking riot lmao
There is nothing rebellious about wanting to keep the second amendment intact. Its in fact just a representation of conservatism and the willingness to keep the status co alive and well and not create deep change int the society.
People might riot indeed. But that won't be because of a rebellious mindset, it will be because of the desire to keep their priviledges intact.
"The rebels" if there really needs to be such a faction, are those who opposes the established system and institution. Its those who understand that the constitution must be changed.
Rebels are those who are laughed at or casted out by society, its those who are considered the real danger by institutions compared to the far right.
The U.S has the most guns in the world per capita, and even then gun deaths are relatively a small amount compared to stuff like car crashes.
You are comparing salads and steaks, its completely fallacious.The first part of your sentence should make you understand that the situation of gun in the US is not normal.
Yes the media overrates it. I think me and Van agree that there's a problem, but is it as bad as the media paints it? No way.
Of course it is.
This is like climate change doomerism. If you tell people the world is going to end in 2 years they'll tune you out, despite how real climate change is
That's again a fallacious rethoric that implies basically that because someone screams too loudly, then its their fault if people don't listen to them. This is a common sexist rethoric that feminist women face. The reality is that climatosceptiscism and gun's advocatism are in a all time high and people just don't want to listen AT ALL at those who are screaming "danger" to them because they are lead to believe the opposite BY conservative NEWS medias
What exactly makes you think I am against gun control?
Usually people who are for gun control don't explain that the subject is "overrated" because they understand how abnormal the number of shootings in the US is.
Also rationality by definition is the absence of emotion lmao
Nop
Trying to ban guns saying it's the problem is taken responsibility away from the individual. A country in Europe once banned pocket knives and it did nothing to reduce stabbings cause people started using kitchen knives instead.
Annnnnd that's what I explained here:
You guys are agents of the status co.
"Don't change things, things could change and we don't want that"
In two pages, not ONE person came to say "I want less victim, let's reduce gun's access".. No, each one of you came with one argument "PeOpLe ArE tHe PrObLeM, so let's not do the one obvious thing that could reduce the number of victims"
Which is, again, a liberal and apolitical way of seeing the world. This is an individualistic vision of society where people should be responsibilized for their actions and the system/institution shouldn't be blamed for anything.
"The Islamic radicalization is rising in Europe ? That's because because people must be listening to religion fanatic to much... this has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that we are letting far right and islamophobic discourse enter the public debate and that we are supporting countries who are doing genocide on Muslim populations....."
"An increase of far right terrorist attack ? This is because people are too dumb to listen to reason and not at all because institutions and media are pushing far right narratives to the limits or because a far right celebrity is able to arrive to the office or because a social media CEO is able to propagate conspiracy and anti woke theories or because news medias are working with the far right to target "woke propaganda"
"An increase of school shootings ? This is because of video games and because parents don't raise correctly their kids and ABSOLUTELY NOT because the health system is completely broken or because we make a star out of school shooters or because its as F*cking easy to buy a gun that to buy a video Game !!"
In this liberal and apolitical world... people are responsible, its the vision of the human above all systems... its therefore our responsibility not to become criminals and the system holds NO responsibility whatsoever !
If people rob, then it must be because they are bad apples and not because they are poor and abandonned by society
If people rape, then is must be because they are pigs and not because they are people in power in a society that enables their behaviors
If people do mass shootings, then is must be because they are monsters and not at all because society is completely paralyzed in the understanding of mental illness and destructive behaviors and gun regulations.. (edit: even if mental health is but a part of the issue, its actually larger than that)
So yeah... Let's keep the status co.. Let's legitimize the fact of doing nothing by explaining that people are the problem.
This is the common liberal/conservative myth that "people are responsible for their action therefore we shouldn't deresponsibize them by changing the system too much"
Mixed with the common gun lobbyist vision that "people will find a way anyway".
When in reality both those assertion are fallacious and in denial of reality. Responsibilizing people only negate the impact society has on people and people (here we are talking about kids who goes on shooting spree) will most likely won't try another way if we prevent them from getting a gun in the first place. This would be the point of this dissuasion barrier.
This doesn't fix all the problems, but it will prevent a lot.
drugs or knife violence he says it's fallacious without even explaining why.
Its fallacious because the number of victim are not the F*cking same. Is that so hard to understand ?
What if the government just nationalized the sex work industry, in order to ensure the rights and safety of sex workers?
As long as it is EXTREMMELY WELL REGULATED I don't see the problem with that.
You seem to be an expert when it comes to what terrorists think
Coming from a conspirationnist background, I spend a lot of time trying to understand how radicalization works.
(I'm talking here about a radicalization that leads to terrorist attacks)
People don't radicalize because they are monsters or because they want to do evil (those become liberal politicians) people radicalize because they are angry, because they want to make a difference, sometimes (in case of far right terrorism) because they are not seeing their victim as humans anymore or because they came to the conclusion that taking lives is a price to pay.
In all cases, they think they are doing the right thing.
There is no lie when I'm talking about liberals and their love for the status co.
What about the families who just lost kids and parents in car accidents? You want to ban cars now?
Are guns as necessary as cars ?
