weapons, why are there so many weapons

well you see it was a VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT FALSE FLAG operation wherein you buy way more guns than you need to carry out the op and leave em at home because this helps cement the cover story

you also collect them over a series of years, just to really cement the look of the whole thing

no in fact i think its funny that a lot of people are either learning or relearning the fact that multiple automatic weapons and explosives are in fact perfectly legal 2 acquire and haul up to your hotel room to kill and maim hundreds of people in minutes just because he felt like it and had a ton of money to finance hunting working class ppl

one of the most disturbing aspects of the crime apart from it's utter callousness was the very simplicity of it all and how really anyone who can procure adequate firearms and if so inclined have a good chance at being able to pull off the same style of mass killing.

w/r/t the terrorism babble its rather true, the term 'terrorism' is almost entirely subjective and unfortunately in the USA it has become established that our self described war of terror has been vastly inflated both in it's actual threat to society as well as the scale and depth of it's organization itself. this alone raises the question of whether its simply a buzzword with a fluid definition is fluid according to the biases of those who would make use of the term. if considered in global sense especially u will begin to understand that it simply a word that is used as a tool rather than a objectively defined concept. i believe i said something 2 this effect earlier this morning.

this morning when I woke up and was watching video taken by the people there I could tell that didn't sound like normal automatic gunfire

I was about to post that but then I decided not to because I thought it'd made me seem like a conspiracy theorist

turns out the dude had a special buttstock that recoils and makes the trigger pull automatically

sound is crazy, i guess

oh it was definitely some aftermarket device to enable automatic fire that's legally available. whether or not this was actual automatic weapon fire doesn't really matter though, as the end result is the same

terrorism has a fairly coherent definition in the whole international political sphere, esp. with regards to actors and war and w/e, but gently caress if that will ever show up on fox news

It seems wrong to just forget this

it is a high score, after all.

what the eternal gently caress how did we get to the point where mass murder is just a goddamned leaderboard

the human mind is incapable of processing directly the raw chaos of the world

it needs totems and rituals to sustain it and to preprocess it, so the self only needs small alignment adjustments before achieving relative equilibrium. these used to be explicitly ceremonial, the sacrifice of animals to ensure rains, the self-flagellation when the sacrifice didn't work. the rituals and responses could survive in a vacuum of sorts - a self-cyclical causality. but over time bits of knowledge seeped through and humans rechristened their superstitions to be Quantifiable Assessments

when we frame things that way, our processing of the world is limited to those quantifiable differences. what's the difference between sandy hook and the las vegas shootings? abstract senses of horror, that play on different fears in layers, but those can't be simply put into a powerpoint slide. and you can't objectively share that void in the pit of your stomach, or how it's different than last time, or how it will be different than next time. body count, gun count, rounds fired, these are all things you can tally, these are all things you can bottle and proof

with these shootings there's always that sense of self-doubt, of feeling somehow responsible for the shooting, of looking at one's own life and tearing apart how you, too, could be driven to it or how you, too, could lose everything from someone else in such a petty space. of wondering what wasn't quantified that could be, that should be, to save a life. and it tears at us so because the quantification is unnatural, no matter how trained we are to express ourselves in it. feeling raw hurt and anger, sorrow and sympathy, misery and compassion are all pointless - you can't speak the depths of the emotions behind the simple words. so you try to ignore that primal call and move on to what you think you can objectively change, feeling hollower with every step

:agreed:

the fact that its subjective is the problem, and its great for them to really muddle the lines and hem haw it because then you basically can conflate the word with specific checklists because of :goonsay: legality is the danger here, since it is actually being used as a tool, an arm to divide and corner threats you have a particular interest in while minimizing the other
