      -be the “first in the world” -everywhere you go yell “USA! USA! USA!” -sparking people’s curiosity and they look into your garden -they find a dystopian horror show, a land where billionaires are kings, millions deprived of liberty, hundred millions depraved of healthcare, an ever increasing tumour of fascists group that wish for some women and minorities to have fewer rights

      You can’t have the biggest running circus without everyone starring and complaining and debating.

        Tell me you’ve learned everything you know about the US from 13 year olds online without telling me you learned everything you know from 13 year olds online.

              hmmm so what, only like 20 then? you’re right, that’s absolutely an acceptable amount of mass shootings in the first half of the year.

              totally normal and something every country experiences. my bad.

                And of those remaining “only like 20”, how many were random acts of violence?

                We’re so close to getting to the infinitesimally small statistical likelihood of this happening.

                  holy fuck the copium here is pathetic. is this honestly what people tell themselves in order to feel ok about gun violence?

                  “of those remaining” “take out the gang related shootings” like holy fuck you realize this is an epidemic right? bro if I’m breaking down the different mass shootings into tiers that’s a fuckin problem. 1 mass shooting, regardless of your arbitrary criteria for what it takes to actually qualify as one that matters is too many. there’s no other argument to make there.

                  the discussion isn’t about what you tell yourself to feel safe. it’s about the perception other countries have looking at it. the mentality you’re displaying is just contributing to it: you’re all fucking nuts lol.

                    There is no discussion lol. There is my ability to defend myself and nobody’s ability to take that away irrespective of how many lunatics exist.

                    Regarding the perception from other countries, lol. If you want to live in crippling fear for an entirely unlikely situation to find yourself in, then go for it and don’t come to the US. We don’t ever think about you guys.

              wait… do you really think that filtering mass shootings by use case makes the whole thought of living/visiting America a safer one? lmao

              normalize it however you wantz you do you, but the rest of the world looks at this shit like wtf is going on over there?

                All if the data is way more nuanced than you are willing to admit. You are very unlikely to get shot going about your daily life in america, or visiting. Just because the media hypes it up doesn’t mean Americans fear for their lives everyday. You would be way more likely to get shot in Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, Columbia, or by suicide by firearm in Canada, Australia or Germany
