Time to bash Americans again
-
It's not JUST the guns tbh. Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don't shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels and the guns are just adding extra fuel and oxygen to a forest fire.

Whenever i mention the Swiss having as many guns as the US, if not more, and yet the former has practically zero mass shooting incidents, and pointed out the problem of America is cultural, Americans tend to turn a blind eye to it.

Why would you move to the Netherlands if you are MAGA? Isn't your country so much greater again now? You ellected your king and then you left?
Yeah this confuses me to no end. I thought they made America great last election?
-
As an American, I would like to apologize profusely for the rank idiocy of my fellow citizens.
No need for an apology here, I too am beyond mortified by what my country has revealed itself to be. I do sincerely hope the rest of the civilized world resists the ideology we seem to be exporting before it's too late.

It's a dumb comparison, as their reason for owning guns is entirely different and tied to national defense, not self-defense and "freedom"
It's not a dumb comparison because it shows that in a healthy society, people don't try to murder each other even given the chance. The fact that Americans buy guns for "freedom" is a symptom, not the root cause of all issues.
-
In Switzerland most people give their state issued gun away when they are not serving. So almost nobody has a gun at home.
Ah but is that not something they opt to do because they feel safe? In comparison, American gun nuts would never do that, they don’t feel safe without their guns.

metal detectors and xray scanning of backpacks made me feel like I was going to prison lol

Most British schools have bars to keep the kids in.
That's an exarregation, right?
-
Who the fuck emigrates to Europe as a hardcore American fascist? Seriously? What the actual fuck?
It's funny, the fascists "won" here, but they are still expatriating themselves to fuck up other people's countries too.
-
We have plenty of fascists here. It's not like the US have a monopoly. We don't quite let them run the show yet, but we're certainly working on it.
We have European fascists here. The point here is: why would an American fascist move to Amsterdam?

Yeah it is their choice.

Yeah it is their choice.
So that's part of the same point. They COULD have access to guns and could shoot each other, but nobody wants to. Thus guns are only a problem when there’s other underlying issues.

I can’t imagine going to school like that bro.
Like is it scary and you always wonder if some lunatic is going to come and shoot it up or no?

I mean, I also worry about getting beat up by bullies...
️ (its whatever, at least dying form gunshot wound is a cooler way to die than getting kicked in the face, luckily for me, neither happened (although the bullying definitely did happen, just not as violent as I imagine it could be)) -
As an American, I hope Canada gets some sort of barrier between it and the United States.
I would gladly go with my family and volunteer to help build it. If my family "accidentally" ends up on the Canadian side, I'd much rather stay though and help offset the crazy you have there....
I mean if you are there putting the last bricks in and you are standing on the north side you really don't have much of a choice.

What I learnt about bullies is once you smack them in the face most of them will think twice before bullying you again.

Because a gun is cheaper than mental healthcare.

Well that I did. I defended myself against a bully who started a fight with me, then the school admin sided with the bully and call the cops on me. Luckily my mother naturalized as a US Citizen so I was safe from potential deportations, but like jesus christ wtf.
Fuck that school admin. ACAB.

It’s sad that the school did that and sided with the bully, but at least you stood your ground.
It’s shocking that teachers over there seem so quick to call the cops which is sure to escalate any situation. We had fights in school in the UK and never had cops called. Maybe that’s changed now with knives and stuff, but

Yea schools will always side with the bully or just look at the one incident in isolation not as a pattern of abuse.
Also the school system just doesn't work, like one time I reported a kid for talking about bringing a gun to school and it got turned around to ME threatening to bring a gun to school. Then that was a whole feasco that me and my parents had to deal with.

But since US has the issues, you should lock guns away.
