  • I think the more important point is that people form militias to protect themselves, and carrying a weapon means considering bad thoughts and being aware of them, the same way that an ex drug user or addict practicing abstinence consistently needs to exert a degree of self discipline.

    If you ask me, owning a gun just makes violent assholes have a shorter fuse. Think about it, have you ever carried a stick or a knife and thought that carrying it meant something? Now you can be more assertive, but the risk of accidentally shooting people or just flying off the handle and shooting someone suddenly becomes a real risk.

    A great test would be to give recent licensed gun owners three rubber bullets to use. When you get around to firing it after losing your shit you'll know that you really lost your cool.

  • Someone once told me, be careful of your thoughts for your thoughts may affect your words, be careful of your words because your words may come to become your actions, be careful of your actions for your actions may reflect on your character.

    If you ask me, owning a firearm and making violent threats don't necessarily mean actions, but I agree that there's a definitive correlation. I guess that I still believe that the action itself is the most honest and serious commitment to something a person can express.

  • Fsb time, no time to think, just imagine, this must be something bad!

    Fsb money, I am very communist however, everyday the McDonalds man comes closer to mother Russia, and the hole in my pocket grows bigger.

  • The problem is not social media, it's that social media is you, a single person, interacting with a large system that presents to you a tapestry of complex opinions, videos and stories from a variety of groups to you, a person. You have your own internal system of views, opinions, values and personal feelings.

    Being aware of this will naturally make you feel small and "weak", a kind of mental health "bigorexia" if you will. And in extreme cases, enough to consider the possibility that multiple personalities to be the greatest semi failed attempt to empathize with as many individual lives as possible.

  • Before we had kings and queens, people were tribal but certainly not as aggressive as today. Think about it, all hierarchies seek to impose dominance and control, both on its subjects and on outsiders that it comes in contact with

  • No societal structures and systems are continuous or exist within a vacuum. Conflict is always a potential threat, whether human beings can learn to resolve their differences and coexist in harmony is both a personal and a group matter that would ideally be more fair with a third party referee, however, humanity is sadly yet to become capable of asking his best friend (dog) for their opinions

  • I somewhat agree on principle but practically speaking we live in very large systems with huge momentum these days, even in America where lots of people are armed and can avoid going to a war they don't want to, they're not necessarily going to bust moves against the system itself. If you ask me, the most effective action would simply be to buy your way out and enable mass freedom from such industrial war machines
