I would go to their groups and tell them this is the 2nd amendment in action against tyrants but they would ban me instantly.

I think Fuckerberg is a better name for him.

Sports cars are dumb. VR I tried but didn’t care for it.

A well functional and hygienic three set bathroom is also essential. That is a shitter, a bathtub/shower and sink. You probably knew that of course.

The black book of communism is utter shit.

I was exposed to both basic and python first. No wonder it was so much harder for me to do code!

I can confirm, too

I mean it is like wanting the cold war to end with nuclear weapons. No one wins and we all die. Even the preppers who built bunkers back then would not survive for long, and this is assuming they survive the initial blasts.

Pre-1968, civilians could buy full auto machineguns. At one point in the 1930s the Sears catalog would send a full auto Tommy Gun straight to your house via mail order with no background check. And yet in those eras the idea of a grand spectacle suicide/homicide event would have been absolutely unthinkable, even among the most disposessed in society.

OK this is not true. Firstly I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt that Sears ever did that in the 1930s. I looked up the Sears-Roebuck catelogs from 1897 to 1926 (as much as I could find online) and I learned some surprising things.

Firstly, prior to WW1, the Sears-Roebuck catalog absolutely DID sell firearms, including handguns, to anyone with no questions asked. The handgun section in the 1912 catalog was quite exciting to look at if you are the type of person who likes old school handguns. Ammunition was also sold without any requirements other than money.

And besides handguns, the rifles and shotguns section was also quite good for just about everything that a North American sport shooter/hunter would want.

But after 1912? People started complaining that many criminals were using the catalog to get handguns and it was starting to worry people (in the 1910s and 1920s the crime rate was starting to rise rapidly) and so in 1918 handguns were no longer available for ‘just cash’. They started selling handguns to only people who proved that they were legally permitted to own and carry a handgun, and you needed to provide a signed letter from a local sheriff or mayor or other authority figure that knew you, and by 1922 the handgun section shrunk to a single page and after that Sears no longer sold handguns.

The long gun section, however, remained as is. So yes, if you wanted a rifle or shotgun (even a semi-auto rifle or shotgun, which were around back then and sold by the catalog) you could buy it no questions asked.

The first federal gun law in the US wasn’t the NFA in 1934. It was earlier in 1927 that forbade mail-order handguns.

The National Firearms Act in 1934 very strictly controlled fully-automatic guns. There was no way, NO WAY, any seller could find a ‘mail-order’ loophole to bypass it.

Open carry is a really dumb idea. If a crook who wanted to steal someone’s gun they can easily ambush the carrier to snatch it and escape. The job would be easier if they were working as a gang. Also if a mass shooter does come by and has half a brain cell, they’ll scan the area for anyone openly carrying and take them out first before starting their shooting. You’d have to be REALLY paranoid when open carrying to prevent that kind of thing from happening, and 99.99% of the time you’ll end up pulling a gun on an innocent person and get into some serious legal trouble for it.

What’s more interesting is this is shooter #2 who was once a trump supporter and then, quite dramatically, changed his mind. This deserves some analysis. We’re getting almost no analysis on the first guy.

We don’t have much information on the first guy because there wasn’t much info to be had. The best way I can analyze his behavior based on what was released to the public is ‘hmmm, I want to kill a politician and it’s going to be… let me think? Who is the closest and most convenient for me to get to right now? Oh yes, Trump is having a rally. So Trump it is!’

There is no evidence that he had any thing against Trump personally or politically. He just wanted to kill a politician. If Trump wasn’t doing a rally there, but the mayor of the town was going to make a speech or presentation at that very spot, then the mayor would have been the target. Crooks just wanted to kill a politician, and wasn’t too picky about which politician that was.

Also he apparently planned a whole spree of shootings right after. Not thinking that trying to kill an ex-president is going to make escape practically impossible. I don’t think he even realized there would be Secret Service snipers on the roof tops, and one already had him in his sights before he started shooting, thus making any escape attempt impossible.

A yard slightly less than a meter. So 500 yards is 457 meters.

I mean if they were serious about guns being used to make sure the tyrants and would be tyrants are always in fear of an assassin’s bullet then what has been happening lately is EXACTLY what the 2nd amendment is intended for… and they are pissed because they are a bunch of wanna-be brownshirts who want to be the armed militia of the tyrant and kill his enemies without fear of prosecution. They just want to do it with their own personal weapons.

If you aren’t fighting conservatism you are actively destroying the planet.

Hamas is in charge because Israel disposed of all of its political opponents for it that left the Palestinian people with not much choice. Most of them only voted for them during heightened times of tension and many would later regret their vote. Many people say that Hamas was created by Israel. This is not entirely true, but its growth was nurtured both directly and indirectly by Israel. Even Netanyahu himself admitted of this years ago.

And ISIS is abo-fucking-lutely a highly illegitimate organization. Giving it the slightest milligram of recognition would be the worst thing to do. At any rate ISIS has ceased to exist as political entity (and they only existed as such for a VERY brief period of time) and right now they are just a bunch of disjointed idiots who will occasionally succeed at murdering some people and not achieve anything else at all.

They don’t CARE about the facts or how absurd their claims are. Also pet eating is something that, in times past, was a racist slur foisted onto Asians, like Chinese restaurants who cooked cat instead of beef or chicken, and more specifically Koreans, who did consume dog meat sparingly, but that was something that happened historically it was never common and dog meat consumption is actually illegal now in South Korea, and eating dog meat has been in rapid decline for decades anyway.

Seeing Haitians get called pet eaters is actually a very new thing.

Because ignoring them will only allow them to grow larger and stronger unchecked. It’s like talking about ignoring an obvious stalker who is clearly building a plan on your daily movements and knows exactly where you live and when you leave/return home. They can be a remarkably stupid person but they will eventually find the perfect opportunity to strike and you will never be able to get any justice for it.

That is literally something that happened to me. More than once.

I wish I had told myself that from 25 years ago before I went online and was exposed to these people with all the naivety of the socially underdeveloped autistic 17 year old that I was at the time. I often have to learn things in the hardest way imaginable.

Hamas is not a neighbor! Like Holy shit dude! Are you one of those guys who legit thinks that Gaza is a fully independent country and that Hamas is an internationally recognized sovereign entity?

And I was referring to your part where you were referring to Israel’s direct neighbors.

As it stands a war between them right now would be very different than 1948. If Israel cannot militarily defeat a group operating in prison and has had a group of ragtag rebels in Yemen blockade the country (despite them having no navy) I think that Egypt and Jordan of the 2020s can really give the IDF a serious run for its money. Especially if the US grows a pair and stands up to Israel and stops supplying weapons.

But sadly if that happens Israel will go down in history as the only other country to use nuclear weapons in anger… and on itself to prevent the country from being defeated, as per their Samson and Hannibal doctrines.

Israel’s neighbors have long abandoned their vows to fuck over Israel many decades ago. Egypt made peace with Israel in the 70s and Jordan did in 1994. The Gulf states and Saudi Arabia were never serious about opposing Israel and were secretly trying to normalize their relationship with the country for decades before being open about it in the past 10 years.

Even in 1948 the Arabs were militarily handicapped by a combination of colonialism reworking their militaries from actual militaries to glorified police forces, in addition to being very undersupplied and having no unified plan. The 1948 war was a joke. Far from the David vs. Goliath battle that Israel likes to play it off as (the Israeli military at the time was much, MUCH better armed than all of their Arab neighbors combined in addition to being numerically superior to all their adversaries as well).

The Israelis were always monstrous in their conduct towards their enemies. They were always genocidal and extreme in their terrorism. Do you know the great replacement theory or the fear that white supremacists have over minorities gaining any sort of influence with more numbers? The only example in human history where something like that happened WAS by Zionists in their slow takeover over the region. They did, to a T, everything they claimed Muslims do when taking over. Acting all nice when they are the minorities, then demanding more and more as their numbers grow and purposefully push other groups out before demanding everything. All the while never integrating into local communities and forming impregnable enclaves of their own. For example by the 1920s there were Zionist communities in Palestine that had been living there for more than a generation at that point but did not interact at all with the local community. Not even with Arab Jews, and they did not speak any Arabic either.

It has always been projection. Plain and simple.
