It is consistent to believe that gun crime is needless and tragic, but that also human life itself has little intrinsic value and HR people aren't even people

My HR manager got me 7 weeks of paid paternity leave even though I was entitled to nothing, since I don't live in a sociopathic hell hole.

You can tell we Yanks do, what with all the gun crime and celebration of the dying sick

i remember reading a story during the height of the whole ISIS thing where chinooks would go way out into the middle of the desert in the dead of night and drop guys off on quads with long rifles and thermal optics and all that cool poo poo and they'd go merc any warm body with a gun at range and lol probably a fair number of sheep farmers got blapped along with the daesh grunts

Lol. "We need to destigmatize mental health research and treatment!" *describes the field as 'soft science'*

I mean... brains are complicated? We don't have fully analytical predictive models of what one given dose or molecule versus another will really result in, so I think that's what he means by that? It's not meant to be derogatory, although I guess in recent years STEMlords have cast enough unwarranted dispersions on those areas outside their field of appreciation and understanding I can see how one could feel that way.

I have read that even the poorest of peasant back in the day had a much greater sense of community and support than people generally feel in the US today.

It's very true that, in perhaps the greatest irony in history, our technological connectivity has actually shattered and atomized communities into hermetically sealed amplification chambers until our actual ability to engage in discourse will atrophy to the point that our only recourse is violent reeducation lol

That and also all alternative ideologies have been so thoroughly suppressed that the suffering people have literally no framework to place their dissatisfaction in, so they end up just exploding into individual violence instead of organizing or forming movements. Which is by design.

It's not all doom n' gloom though, since the framework "Hey maybe the obscenely wealthy should pay a little back into society before we all die of hunger, preventable illness and a poisoned atmosphere?" is a pretty straightforward one that a lot of people seem to be finally coming around to.

You know, this might sound crazy, but you could actually engage with promoting those sentiments among what remains of your community in an effort to develop a movement that sees those desires turned into policy some bright day in the future, bolstered by a mass of people who refuse to be placated into thinking they can do nothing and refusing to be apathetic anymorahahahahahahahahahahaaaa

I'm sorry mentally ill people use guns and modified weapons to inflict the most damage on people.

it's not guns that are the problem, its the lack of farmers.

yes farmers, the more farming there is in your country, the less mass shootings occur.

y'all need more farmers.

okay i hear you, but listen, what if we replaced all the farmers with robots and slaves instead?
