Ummm Nico I think you skipped some words or something, I can't make heads or tails out of what you're trying to say.

By "America for all intense purposes" he meant "America for all intents and purposes" and by "liberals always are pro always core power" I think he probably meant "liberals are pro theocratic power" though that first "always" is puzzling. Maybe some sort of voice to text or autocorrect error.

[Lady Bliss]

Maybe he’s just a badly scripted bot?

Anyways, just like walking by mall kiosks, don’t make eye contact and don’t engage. It’s better that way.

Of course, maybe we just keep him around for entertainment purposes since Abyss hasn’t banned him yet for his trolling.

Came back and was looking for less name calling and same as ever ..echo chamber and a bunch of folks who dont get what the world is really like.

MODGOD NOTICE OF: Nico, you've been around here for years and once upon a time you actually contributed something to the book discussions and kept your pseudo-political whateverthefuckism to a minimum. Now you're just showing up to throw poo then vanish again for a few months, so... no. I've deleted your last round of posts, i've deleted most of this post, you can play nice or fade away into the rest of the internet, your call. I don't care which you choose, but those are your two options, there is no #3. You have reasonable questions, DM me or another modgod. You make it a public spectacle, i'll delete/ban, no audience for you.

It astonishes me how not even Iskaral Pust could say so many words with as little meaning.

[Macros]

How Isreal treat Palestine, are you saying we are in the wrong because we're heavily critical of the shit Isreal is pulling...or are you agreeing with us?

You know it MIGHT behoove you, if you're actually curious, to look at what and how you post things here. Can't possibly be something internal to you, it's gotta be all of us right?

The name calling me a troll is simply cause thats easy.

You made a whole post about how much you love guns...I'm not sure a more fragile person exists here.

You know what freedom is? It's my kids being able to go to school every day and not have to worry about "a billion guns". It's my mom and my dad not getting bankrupted for having to go to deal with big health issues. It's being able to generally walk down the street in the busiest and most populous city in my country and not feel unsafe or that the border police are going to arrest me, and put me in a detention centre for having slightly toned skin colour and asian heritage. It's living in a country that doesn't produce people like you who feel that "freedom" is somehow...guns.

replying so there's a copy at the end of the thread.

@Mod. I am posting literally to the essence of this thread. This is really about Guns and Culture. Think of it this way. Even removing the content i post ..does not make the reality of the culture go away. The goal of this has always be to educate others ..about a different culture and called out in the name. This is not named ban guns thread. I get it you disagree and personal freedom is your choice..but the concept of this is also education. If you want to ban that..totally have at it. I'm however firmly in the anti-book burning area.


ICYMI: SCOTUS grant certiorari in Viramontes v. Cook County, meaning they will hear this case.

This will throw out potentially the assault weapon ban term etc. Another pro gun move in a series of them..the way you all come at this topic. Why are freedoms's toward guns progressing year after year ? Explain that. I have stated my information and stayed seemingly consistent with my message. Anyhow .. ill be waiting.

Yeah I have so many points that really land on the reality of this thread..the choices people have made. Have had profound societal consequences lately. It's in the news and has harmed and marked societies. However you all read. Its wild really to think about it.

Anyhow as always love.

Gun 'freedoms'are happening because the NRA totally changed its MO back in the 60s to become a mouthpiece and lobbying tool for gun manufacturers.

[Illuyankas]

Trying to astroturf an atmosphere of gun acceptance while citing decisions by the Supreme Court, a body of Republican-stuffed unelected Republican judges busily rolling back every right people have fought for including actual Constitutional amendments and about a month away from accepting the country's namechange to the Republic of Gilead in a 6-3 decision, as the will of the people?

Nra is hardly relevant..and hasn't been for 10+. 15 million actual assets is a drop in the bucket.

People desire the ability to feel safe. The G man doesn't do that. Hence the socialists in the states trying to disband police depts! That will do it.

[Macros]

Try that again please.

In full sentences with some context for people who arent in the states and do jot understand anything you just typed

[Nicodimas]

Do you watch Bill Maher? He talks about it all the time. The modern (American) Socialist dont want to enforce law. Disbanding of departments etc.

Unlike Europe citizens can defend themselves still..and huge upswing in non gun owners becoming gun owners.

I at this time see ZERO gun bans and rights improving across the board. Better tech in guns. Forced Reset triggers are legal. Theres a ton of advances and people are fighting for more freedoms is what I have been getting at...

I dont really stress this subject matter and have mainly just chiming in about the advancements in America Freedoms and our growth as a nation.

[Nicodimas]

Theres a billion + guns in America.Fbi i think released that info thinking it would help the anti freedom crowd and hurt the current polticial party. It had the opposite effect and many people went ok cant beat them join them and mass amounts of people are buying and taking lessons. Biggest rise of new gun owners!

The media memory holed this information as it really had the opposite effect than they assumed.

Guns all around the asylum!

Just like on Oprah... You get a gun! And you get a gun! Now you're free to shoot the universe!

[Cause]

I’d respect the second amendment advocates more if they just admitted guns were a cool hobby and stopped pretending they were buying Barrett 50 cal sniper rifles for home defense.

People who won’t go through a basic background check won’t go through the training necessary to clear a house with an ar15 either.

[Macros]

Its the same old tired nonsense.

Home defense does not require an armory, its a fetishism for deadly weapons.

2nd Ammendment rights wingnuts get up in arms at the meet suggestion of any regulation that would introduce any safety checks and produce the possibility of the "responsible gun owner".

Not banning guns, just making sure you aren't straight out of Arkham.

And belive me Nico, believe this hard, I don't have a gun in my house, I dont feel the need for a gun in my house, gun ownership in the UK and Ireland is very l9w, and you what else is low, and has been dropping year on year on year?
Violent crime.

So shove it

[Tiste Simeon]

I wouldn't bother Macros Nico is FAR too gone with regards to the very good propaganda they have put there. His mind is irrevocably poisoned.
