And even if they don’t do that they’ll join only communities where the bias is already there.

Guess you’re one of today’s lucky 10000

Confused. So that’s a thing where you agree?

Or do you think that’s my position?

Or do you just post something to shut down calling outs of propaganda narratives?

As I said in the other comment, not falling for one sides propaganda doesn’t automatically mean the other side is right. What we have on social media is propaganda for a supposed Palestinian side, but overwhelmingly it’s Hamas’ talking points, which are clearly anti Israel, but lacking in the “pro Palestinian” cause.

Oh dear.

Distancing yourself from one propaganda side is all well and fine, but that doesn’t mean the other side is automatically in the right, you know?

And you are using the other side’s words and narratives, which frankly is their propaganda.

Pretty sure you could answer that yourself if you wanted to.

To focus so overly much on Israels propaganda in today’s social media landscape is propaganda itself.

Pretty much on all channels there’s a between 10:1 and 20:1 relationship between pro Palestinian vs pro Israel comments.

Introducing regulations usually doesn’t mean complete and utter ban.

First of all, gun laws have been more or less the same for the past 100 years in the U.S., so how can they be the cause of the recent rise in mass shootings? Simple answer: they’re not.

So guns changed over the past 100 years, but the laws did not adjust. Sounds like a bad idea. How can a new technology a cause for a new problem? Did that ever happen???/s

Semi-automatic rifles were not overly widespread before the 1990, and when they became, in 1994 there was a time-limited ban for semi-automatic firearms, which then expired in 2004. And what are the major concerns for mass shootings in recent years? It is semi-automatic firearms.

If they were serious about curbing gun violence, their focus wouldn’t be on mass shootings so much as smaller-scale gun crime.

Why do you think they want to ban all guns? But when you’ve a gun proponents such as in the US you gotta get real about what you can achieve. So it is not hypocrisy to focus on assault weaponry.

That hobby thing can be said about many forbidden things, for example smoking cannabis.

Civilian disarmamends happened in various countries, i.e. Australia in 1996/97, UK after the Dunblane school massacre in 1996, Japan post WW2, South Africa in 2000, Colombia in 2000 and 2016, New Zealand after Christchurch.

Strategies and success vary, but it’s not unheard of.

Many liberals have terrible views about gun violence in general IMO, and a serious lack of comprehension of the problem.

Could you elaborate that a bit?

What country is that?

Maybe Egregore?

I have my phone unlock when it sees my face.

There’s Siri.

And GPT-4 is a good way to double check some suspicions how historical events may be connected, and when I’m looking for a name. And other things too.

Just watch the Let’s Play if you want the movie 😀

You say that as if critical thinking was ever taught in school.

Close enough

I don’t know and I don’t care

I usually try to think of a way forward. Like, what would happen if Haiti gets their demand, and France and the Citibank together agree to pay back $21 billion dollars and then some for interest.

Would that help Haiti out of poverty? In a state where corruption is widespread, we can safely assume that, no, it would not. It would be pocketed away by a few rich people and their families, who would then be a good deal richer, and the country would still not have a good educational as a basis for future prosperity. It would maybe have one or two more hospitals, but overall still not have a medical system that helps bring down child mortality for the foreseeable future. Or a judicial system that brings justice to those who were robbed of money.

And, after understanding all the historical injustices and anger, if we find that the proposed solution would not be a solution at all, we will bring our attention to the next thing.
