Too soon?

I have never seen a person get shot in person (I’ve seen those videos too) but I have hunted pigs and kangaroos, bullet wounds really aren’t portrayed well in media.
What’s funny to me is that American conservatives will argue that you can’t have guns in Australia. You can. We have guns and… no school shootings. No politicians being assassinated.
Charlie Kirk spouted all kinds of bullshit about my country. I’m very happy he won’t be doing that anymore.
See, guns can solve problems!
-
and in some ways it was a good thing.
It is. It really should be a prerequisite for gun ownership: you have to kill something.
That is a threshold I can't personally cross, so I don't think I should own a gun (and I dont).
Ehhhh, I wouldn't be for making death a prerequisite. That's just ending life for no good reason. Of course senseless death happens all the time, but normalizing and requiring it is a hell of a choice...

The left is notoriously unarmed while the right is the reason our gun ownership is so high. At a time when the right threatens to take more and more away, this feels like a poor choice. Personally I agree with a very prominent leftist that the working class must be armed, and I feel that as those on the left we need to see the writing on the wall. The united states does not appear to be going a more peaceful direction, and if we want to keep having any rights for the workers at all we need to be ready to frustrate any attempt to disarm or otherwise neutralize us. In a world where the right does not threaten to take guns from trans folks or keep us from using our right to organize, we can talk about gun control again. Sadly we are sliding away from that so fast that I can't imagine where we will be at the end of this presidency.
We can still talk about sensible gun control. Key word being sensible.

I think this quote is him explicitly saying he'd be okay with his own death too.

Tell me you got an STD without telling me you got an STD...
They never said it'd be this itchy!!

Jesus Christ, when someone said a fountain i thought they were playing it up
There are several liters of blood in a full sized adult. I don't understand how people are so shocked by a cup or two's worth.

Dude you are sick
Our citizenry is headed right toward authoritarian dystopia. I think what we have in store is worse than death. If you were trans and black right now, you would not defend them. They are causing anxiety and suffering, and they absolutely do not care about the Genocide in Gaza. This surveillance state, widening inequality, constant war, rampant racism, homophobia, and everything else they are doing will destroy us all. We have no future. That is sick to me. Psychopaths win every time. These will too. I am just holding off until I need to die.

What do do think Civil wars are then?
Those aren't about murdering fellow citizens because of what they say.

That's news to me.
Because Civil wars are fought between fellow citizens and usally about positions those people have espoused.

Yes i know, but it's not something you see everyday in HD and close up.
Most of the gore videos I saw as a teen didn't even come close to how clear this was and i saw a cartel beheading video.

That's the point. A gun's purpose is to kill.
And I was thinking of the victim being an animal that needs to be euthanized or something.
-
You don't get to just kill people that you suspect are evil. This isn't some complicated ethical dilemma.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]suspect? rofl! Charlie was evil. Unquestionably.
Does a good person call empathy a weakness? Does a good person say some gun deaths are totally acceptable for the 2a? Does a good person dogwhistle about minorities and cast blame on trans people for things they didn't do?
You're either woefully stupid or trolling. You should think before you type either way. Occam's Razer should require some thought.

If you don't acknowledge the difference between war and murdering someone in cold blood without warning, then there isn't any point continuing this conversation. Also I hope for your sake that you don't cross paths with anyone who thinks like you do, but has different opinions.

There's a Wikipedia page on nonviolent revolutions, so is violence itself necessary or is the threat of violence sufficient? History may not actually be in complete agreement in favor of violent resistance.
"Nonviolent campaigns have a 53% success rate and only about a 20% rate of complete failure. Things are reversed for violent campaigns, which were only successful 23% of the time, and complete failures about 60% of the time. Violent campaigns succeeded partially in about 10% of cases, again comparing unfavorably to nonviolent campaigns, which resulted in partial successes over 20% of the time."
Something tells me you don't actually understand the difference between a violent campaign and a nonviolent campaign.
Yes, the goals cannot be violent. That doesn't mean violence cannot be extremely useful when applied tactfully.

We will be lucky to stop civil war.
That's OK. A civil war is a small price to pay for having the 2nd amendment to protect the 1st.
Or something like that, I heard it somewhere.
-
Well go be violent then. Fuck it up for those of us that don’t want any part in your bullshit.
I’m out. I’m done. I’m tired of reading shit from you cowards who do nothing day in and day out but inspire crazy people.
You’re animals. You’re no better than goddamn wild animals…except you call other people to violence and do nothing. That’s all that is left of your humanity. You’re like Hitler. You dream of gassing your enemies but you’re too cowardly to run the camps yourselves.
Comment back when you’ve killed someone you coward. Go on. Get out there. What’s stopping you?
Let me guess, you’re too comfortable. Your life is ok. Day in and day out with your little dopamine hits. Dreaming and doing nothing.
Go on, coward. Kill someone. Or are you somehow above it? Is that why I’m reading about people other than you in the news every day?
Shut your goddamn mouth until you’ve fired a shot. When you do, I hope you’re crucified in the streets.
I’m so done. I really am.
rofl what an actual loser you are. Way to completely and utterly fail to understand the paradox of tolerance.
I bet you don't even understand the principles of self defense... Fucking pathetic. Leave if a Nazi being killed upsets you so much. I promise Lemmy will not pamper your dumb ass.

Dude says hateful shit for years and gets popped. He had enough time to repent.
You've crossed paths with people like me if you have ever left your home.
You are delusional.

Go fight, pussy. I look forward to reading about you in the news.

This is some tin foil hat shit solely because Trump is too stupid to do any elaborate planning like this
Trump is a figurehead. Project 2025 was/is a massive plan that took years to lay out.
Do not delude yourself into thinking the Republican party is a cabal of idiots.
