Unless you're transphobic there should be no distinction


There is a biological difference.

Interesting difference in reaction from the MSM. A school shooting happens, and the MSM is very eager to give angry pro-gun control advocates a microphone. It's very important that the country has a serious discussion about gun control.

But when somebody drives a truck through a crowd of people, it's a time for sadness and changing Facebook profile pictures. It's certainly not time to give angry people the microphone to start a discussion about borders.

When someone drives a truck into people it's usually because they're on a quest for jihad and I think they're trying to crack down on that


"Why don't similar attacks happen in other first world countries like Japan?"

Thailand has very strict laws against private ownership of weapons. As a result, only the military, police, and bad guys have them. There are less deaths attributed to guns than in the U.S. No school shootings. Few mass shootings of any kind. Which, of course, is good.
However, there are many more murders attributed to knives and beatings. And, bombings. Not good.

The bigger problem is how democracy suffers because of the armed strength of the government and police. They can get away with just about anything. In Thailand, it takes a long time, usually 4 to 7 years, for any opposition to gain enough public support to oust the corrupt officials. In 80 years, Thailand has had two free elections. though they were heavily influenced by corrupted voting. The rest of the time, there have been 20 coup dtats since 1932. Some successful and some violent.

In 229 years, while the U.S. had a civil war, there have been no coups. Why? Because the Second Amendment allows the populace to be armed.

While all these mass shootings in the U.S. are horrific, many thousands have died in Thai coups.

The founding fathers of the U.S.A. understood how governments can become corrupt and out of control. They understood the need for a strong civilian population to keep the government in check. The whole U.S. system of government is notable because of the checks and balances between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. They knew governments have a tendency to run amok.

If U.S. gun ownership is severed, what makes you think the government won't go off the rails?


I agree that our second amendment for protection from government. In the old days that meant repeating the Revolutionary War if necessary. I don't think that is on the table anymore, but I do think it could prevent a bloody Marxist uprising like in Mao's China, or the one that White South African farmers will potentially have to defend themselves from.

Maybe that will happen here in the next 50 - 100 years. Class and/or racial hatred can produce an exponentially higher body count than psycho kids who are pumped up on SSRIs.

Do borders keep out homegrown terrorism?


Sometimes. Europe is dealing with a problem where second generation immigrants from the Middle East are often more radicalized than their parents. That's probably not unrelated to the massive number of un-vetted migrants pouring in today. When they can live in welfare ghettos and get by while only interacting with each other, they don't have to integrate with natives through the free market.

You cant unless you restrict the 2A, unconstitutional, or have them consent to a medical background check.
Why do you act as if the Constitution is sacrosanct?


The Bill of Rights havent been screwed with for good reason: it sets a dangerous precedent. Alter the second? Lets change the first. Okay, now lets alter the fifth. And with identity politics driving our country it would cause a cluster fuck every time the next majority comes in. Interpretation by justices on the Supreme Court is one thing, but a total change would be disastrous.

My friend, the 2nd amendment was put into place because the U.S. did not have a standing army at the time. Now that we have one, you can see why it might not be necessary...


There is a legal way to change the constitution.

I kinda like blaming mental health as the cause for shootings because anyone who says that's the real cause is basically saying america is severely more mentally damaged than the rest of the first world.


Weve resorted to treating every issue with psychotropic drugs, which may successfully control the primary issue, but creates new ones.

99.9% of people on medication never shoot up a place.


If SSRI drugs are a factor, this would be expected. Most people are "ok". Some small percentage want to kill themselves, and an even smaller percentage may hear voices telling them to go on a rampage.

Whatever the problem is, it's something that began impacting the country in the last 20 years or so.

They are still from far left areas and those influences dont vanish the first time they kill somebody.

But you have no concrete evidence that the gangsters of Chicago and Baltimore give a shit about politics. So you've made many posts without any point.


We are talking about a large number of people, so the fact that they exist in far left strongholds is relevant.

But here you go...

http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2012/Gangs-and-Politicians-An-Unholy-Alliance/

The former chieftains, several of them ex-convicts, represented some of the most notorious gangs on the South and West Sides, including the Vice Lords, Gangster Disciples, Black Disciples, Cobras, Black P Stones, and Black Gangsters. Before the election, the gangs agreed to set aside decades-old rivalries and bloody vendettas to operate as a unified political force, which they called Black United Voters of Chicago. They realized that if they came together, they could get the politicians to come to them, explains Baskin.

The gang representatives were interested in electing aldermen sympathetic to their interests and those of their impoverished wards. As for the politicians, says Baskin, their interests essentially boiled down to getting elected or reelected. All of [the political hopefuls] were aware of who they were meeting with, he says. They didnt care. All they wanted to do was get the support.

I could keep going down this rabbit hole, but the original point was that Chicago and Baltimore criminals are probably left leaning because of who they grew up around.

My point is that Chicago and Baltimore criminals probably don't give a shit about politics.


Mainstream politics are probably not high up on their priority list. They are still from far left areas and those influences dont vanish the first time they kill somebody.

Like I said in my very first post, I dont care about their politics any more than I care about Cruzs politics, because the crimes were not political.

It's funny how you talk about red states wanting food stamps as "they just grew up like that" compared to people in Chicago who are "surrounded by people on the left" and vote for politicians who "promise more goodies."

At the end of the day: red states take more than they give. Sad.


What I said is that in both cases, people are influenced by people around them and support what they believe is in their interest. Not very controversial.

Those are just some examples of types of federal spending that your stat relies on, along with other non partisan things like military bases and federal research labs.

Right and blue states that have those things rely on that spending as well, no?

Also, you said:

households who rely on subsidies to get by tend to have their worlview shaped accordingly.

People who live in poverty surely rely on the most subsidies, right? They need them to get by.

Let's take a look at the poverty-level ranking by state:

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/us-poverty-rate-by-state.html

There are a lot of red states atop that list. A lot of people relying on subsidies to get by.


Yeah but that doesnt mean those items are evenly distributed.

There are red and blue voting blocks within those states. But I dont think youre really helping your core point here. I dont know how many poor areas with lots of food stamps vote republican, but they are probably A: brought up to see the world that way by friends and family and B:not going to support politicians who will cut their benefits. Republicans dont cut spending.

Poor criminals in bad Chicago areas are A: surrounded by people on the left and B: targeted by politicians who promise more goodies. Yeah some republicans vote for free shit as well, for reasons I already stated.

Not every subsidy is a partisan issue. I disagree with them all but Im in the minority. Farm subsidies, Indian reservations, and old age entitlements arent simple blue vs. red issues.

Only red states get farm subsidies, have Indian reservations, and have old people?

Yeah if you are including things like farm subsidies. And there is little chance of getting those farmers to vote against the subsidies, just like old conservatives in Florida wont vote for anybody who will cut social security. People tend to favor what they think will help them.

And people who are surrounded by single mother households who rely on subsidies to get by tend to have their worlview shaped accordingly.

Those governments are still running deficits so it isnt sustainable.

Our government is probably not as efficient as Japans but that doesnt mean that the Japanese government is as efficient and effective as the free market.

But we're running a deficit and have more expensive healthcare.


Every Western government will have to learn the hard way that deficits are unsustainable.

If a girl was a hardcore leftist I would not get into anything serious with her. If we were dating for a while and she heard my views about SJWs and socialism, things would get pretty ugly.

My wife is not interested in politics. I think that because she is Japanese, she is immune to most SJW victim bullshit.

When whites make up a small enough percentage of the U.S., will it no longer be racist to enforce border laws? We will have to come up with some sort of formula that quantifies how many white people have to live in a country for borders to be considered racist.

Religion needs to be destroyed. It's too harmful to a peaceful society.


"Religion" is harmful to a peaceful society? I think we can narrow it down a bit more than that.

Steven Wilson put it best, the music industry is separate from the entertainment industry. Pop music that targets 12 year old girls is just part of the entertainment industry.

Also, more controversially, chemical castration should be something offered. Not forced, offered. It can completely kill your libido.


I wouldnt mind if it was forced on convicted chomos.

Keep watching. It gets impressive once the numbers are masked after only appearing on screen for an instant. There is no way I could do this nearly as well as that chimp.

I'd love to know why this animal is able to do this so well. It apparently gets some food (a peanut?) every time it gets the order right.
