The media in this country has so much to answer for in terms of the people they give oxygen to.

Nothing justifies bombing children. Noone's 'right to defend themselves' should include this.

Terrifying to think what the next set of images are going to look like.

Glad I decided not to have kids.

Wait so I thought this was a thing in the US because of all the Christofascists. Does the UK also have a christofascist thing going on? Or is this just kind of an everything goes culture war bullshit thing?

Some of them are accelerationists so they're probably loving all of this. There are so many opportunities for hate and division right now, it's like Christmas has come early for them.

Yeah I can see that actually. Also serves as a way of legitimising their war.

Isn't Israel quite wealthy? Why do they even need this funding?

I actually don't blame you because I would feel the same way if I lived in America. I hate guns, but would feel the need to have a gun if I lived there. It seems like such a cycle of mutually assured destruction that just keeps escalating out of control.

Methane would be more effective than C02. Methane is the elephant in the room no one talks about

Australian here. We had one really bad mass shooting and then our government (who was also one of the most conservative governments in the last 50 years) banned guns. Haven't had one since. Guns just aren't a thing here and we kind of think you're a weird country for being so obsessed with guns. I also personally think it's weird that guns are like the symbol of your freedom, yet you don't have universal healthcare. Universal healthcare offers so much more freedom than guns do.

In saying that a lot of countries have guns and don't have the same problem with mass shootings. What the US has is a cultural problem in terms of your relationship with guns and violence. Unfortunately, doing a mass shooting is now a normalised way to deal with your problems. Not all of you, obviously. But enough of you that it's gotten completely out of control. In Australia I don't think it was just the banning of guns that has reduced mass shootings. We have a culture in Australia of 'don't be a dickhead'. I think when we had our mass shooting we all collectively just said yeah nah mass shootings are next level dickhead behaviour.

If Argentina votes in the anarcho-capitalist guy who gets policy advice from his dogs (technically one dog that's been cloned several times) then this will really take the cake for darkest timeline.
