    The “castle doctrine” and everyone who’s misunderstanding it is reminding me a LOT of a “localized purge” - been watching the first 2-3 films lately and season 1 (surprisingly good) and it’s chilling to see the real state of the US these days. Used to be my favourite travel destination in the 90s, then still a great place to go for business trips in the 2000s - but never again will I set foot on that unholy land where every insane person can get a gun and murder you on the spot and will likely get away with it.

      Never mind that the 90s was a peak for violent crime mainly due to the war on drugs, and it’s safer now than it was then…

      Nobody seems to be misunderstanding it but you. This is the kind of country these people want.

        Many of us are trapped by the choices of our Fox-brainwashed elderly population.

        The absolutely morally bankrupt and spoiled boomers dominating the voting population with blind allegiance and rising evengelicism over the last 50 years got us here. Basically, the most self centered and selfish generation in modern American history is hell bent on fucking every generation that follows them.

        A lot of us have chosen and chosen and chosen otherwise in futility. Even when we’ve had the opportunity for progress it was tempered by trying to appease the other party; in the name of bipartisanship we get a neutered health care plan that still has grift built directly into the system.

        I suppose I forgot the quotes around “misunderstanding” - maybe should have rephrased to “deliberately misinterpreting”. Either way, I agree & it is a sad and depressing world in which people get murdered daily because some asshole with a gun wanted blood…
