Nah. I've thought about this.

If they couldn't use guns, they'd use cars. If they can't use cars, they'd focus on torture. i.e. instead of trying to kill as many people as possible, just try to make whoever you catch suffer as much as possible before pulling the plug.

These are all band-aids to avoid addressing the real problem: those who feel they have nothing to live for so they take their anger out on society.

The solution to the problem is reducing the disparity in wealth. It won't eliminate all of them, but it will severely reduce them. This is why nobody is talking about it. The ruling class has been successful, again, in getting us to squabble over bullshit to avoid addressing the real issue, which is always the money.

It's just a job.

I dunno, seems like all the shitty actors and writers are striking.

Good thing, imo. The faster we can replace them with AI, the better.

This discussion aside, I'm genuinely curious how much you fight back on posts supporting right-wing views vs. cancel culture.

Something tells me you try way harder to fight against one than the other, and when you're called out you just say, "oh yeah that other thing is bad too. Trust me guys."

If you structure your life so you can be heavily impacted by cancel culture, you're either a shitty person or surround yourself with shitty people.

Either way, it's a win-win for everyone involved. They clearly don't want to be together.

it’s generating outrage online about stuff nobody cared about until the day before.

Kind of like the 'f' word? What about trans rights? Yeah, I remember when 'nobody cared about that' until, you know, they did.

We're growing up as a species. You can choose to join us or get left behind.

You already have some catching up to do.

unless they’re currently doing something bad

Ahh, this is his issue. He thinks that people should get a pass because they've gotten away with doing bad things in the past.

Essentially, if you don't catch them in the act, then you shouldn't get to criticize them or hold them accountable.

What a shitty take, probably from a shitty person who wants to be held to the same shitty standard so they can get away with similar shitty behavior.

I feel bad for those close to you that have to put up with that.

That's like saying 'communicating doesn't do anything.'

It's just a tactic from bad actors to convince people they shouldn't be fighting back.

Obvious troll.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Part of freedom is that some people will abuse it.

I hope you're not suggesting we should give up freedoms so those abusing it can't.

Just go after the abusers, which instance admins do.

If you're trying to suggest a solution to stop all sharing of CP on the internet without restricting everyone else, I'd love to hear what you come up with.

waits patiently

I think less of anyone who brings that up.

'Guilty until proven innocent.'

Glad corporations get the power to make these decisions.

Stop with the censorship.

Stop using censored platforms.

Calm down. This isn't reddit where you can nitpick everything and expect others to follow suit.

Just another example of why direct voting is better.

They have the power to leave and stop supporting the state economically.

It really isn't.

Does anyone know who these pigs are?

That's kind of how I feel about war and how most people gung-ho about fighting in one are right-wing assholes.
