  1. Banning guns is a impossible, so it's a non-starter. But restrictions are sensible and something that the state already does. You can't openly buy fully automatic guns, machine guns, rocket launchers, etc. without at least hefty paper work and taxes, and only if you live in the right states. And then it's not like you can open carry a machine gun. It's obviously really dangerous if random people can just buy and own grenade launchers and heavy artillery. Imagine a school shooter with a 200 round beltfed machine gun. The US already restricts gun ownership to a certain degree. The gun debate is just a question of to what degree. Gun culture makes that question effectively untenable.
  2. Don't go to school tomorrow. Some of you are aight.
  3. This is just a sliding scale error. Restricting guns doesn't make you suddenly 1984, but loose restrictions does lead to gun violence. America is the only country in the world that has rampant school shootings, which is insane for a first world country. No other first world country has as much gun violence. It's a cultural issue because Americans identify with their guns. It's not really about security. Arguably the prevalence of guns actually make the country less secure, as well as other countries if you consider the amount of American market guns moved and sold to SA gangs. Just consider how controversial the talking point is. When New Zealand basically abolished guns after a nasty school shooting and had massive buy back programs there was wide public support of it. And there hasn't been much gun violence ever since in NZ.
  4. Everyone says "why can't we just hold hands" but when I do I get called a creep.
  5. This is a bit personal, but did your parents dominate conversations? Did you feel seen and heard growing up or invincible?
  6. Leo got shaved at the bald factory when he was a recruit but his hair never grew back, facts.
  7. You need to get to the bottom of why you feel the way you do yourself. You have the answers already within you if you're ready to listen. Your internal state will always come through to people. When you make people feel a certain way they will associate those feelings with you, even if its irrational. Try to be fully present and listen attentively, but without coming off as too eager via excessive nodding and affirming sounds. That will make you feel warmer and open to connection. Feel if you can open your heart a little bit. Then it's just a question if people want your love.
  8. A fight is just conflict, and conflict happens when you need to settle boundaries over finite resources or for fun, broadly speaking. If there's no room for negotiation or negation you can only resolve conflict through violence, but that's extremely rarely ever the case in modern life for individuals.
  9. Youth is wasted on the young and money is wasted on the old.
  10. I personally know an archeologists. Their house is full trinkets and shit, like the antlers of extinct deer and antique flintlocks. Sticky fingers genetically encoded. If they where born 100 years ago they would 100% rob tribal people's graves and temples. Take home dried out babies and a curse or two.
  11. Most people's writing is bland -> AI is based on most people's writing -> ???
  12. Pretty funny. It's clearly not his expert zone and he's reacting to a tier 1 drug addict talking god (on the Tuck no less). Tldr: being sentimential and corny is cringe.
  13. They would look great in a museum 😊
  14. Read a paper article today about military bro being Bibi's biggest competitor. Something that Bibi is too gucci and power hungry. His sons are chilling in Florida posting ragebait on Twitter while bro's sons and nephews died in Gaza.
  15. "Feminism destroyed society" crowd feels like giving feminism too much credit and a bit disproportional. Neoliberalism alone has done more to make people feel worse about their lives in specific ways in my opinion. Communal erosion would probably be the biggest indirect influence on the average red pillers life. That I think about it, it's probably feminisms fault because they can't get no pussy and it's not socially acceptable to enslave women anymore.
  16. Religious traditions are very oriented around survival and hierarchy, usually of survival challenges that existed 1000+ years ago. There's nothing spiritual about banning pork for example. But they are dogmatic about their traditions and rules, even if they make no sense.
  17. Many of the core values of western society where originally Christian. The seperation between church and state fundamentally changed how society operates. Society eventually secularized and its world view wasn't limited to Christianity.
  18. Norway is pretty bad on that front too. It's like a couple of families that control the entire food industry. But on the other hand Norwegians only eat bland. I don't know what it's like in Sweden.
  19. Religion can make you make happy but it's based on tradition and dogma. It's not free or true. Religion has more community, which is probably the biggest factor in terms of happiness. We live in an age where non-familial bonds are increasingly eroded.
  20. Why does this forum draw so many unhinged people sometimes? I called it minute zero.
  21. Low quality shit. GTAB. Mods, crush his skull please. Thank you.
