what seems to be your boggle friend?

please use less ridiculous and inappropriate imagery to make your points and maybe people would understand them. the bougie white liberal talking point that no one would ever need a weapon to defend themselves from violent crime is the utmost disgusting display of privilege with a shitty side of victim blaming.

please don’t disparage fuck shows

so you just watched a series of late night talk show hosts lay out a series of identical talking points citing the same statistics and policy prescriptions and your conclusion was that gun control advocates don’t speak with one voice?

which measure are you talking about that is supported by 90% of everyone?

it’s not so much that gop reps are in the nra’s pockets (they are), it’s that people fucking love guns and will turn on any rep that doesn’t protect and expand their right to one them.

there is literally not a mass shooting every day unless you count 12 year olds shooting people with pellet guns and every other instance of more than three people getting injured by firearms as a “mass shooting.” that’s a shitty, dishonest metric. you are perfectly welcome to examine the methodology they use to come…

please don’t compare the chances of being a victim of a violent crime in america to the chances of being mauled by a tiger. or compare inanimate objects to animate creatures with their own agency.

you’re not gonna get a lot of love for this post on the av club but yeah. they don’t give a shit that most victims of both violent crime and gun crime enforcement are minority groups entangled in the drug war>prison pipeline.

don’t you authoritarian weirdos have to at least get a criminal justice education? the violence perpetrated by civilians with assault rifles is a tiny fraction of the violence committed by law enforcement. ban yourself imo

they already banned assault rifles, it didn’t affect homicide rates in the slightest. then they unbanned assault rifles, and it didn’t affect homicide rates in the slightest.

sean, no one is listening to steven seagal. the premise of this admittedly delightful snarkpiece is foundationally bunk.

lol you’re talking about megyn “pepper spray is a food product, essentially” kelly. she built her own box, she gets to fuck in it.

“but the only time he seemed to be working with the party after that was to promote pro-life candidates.”

oh aye agreed, and reading your comments further you’re 100% right about that sansa scene. i thought you were saying that first thing. the quest for ultimate social consciousness gets really tiresome on here sometimes. i have no idea what point i was trying to make with that post except i was really drunk and upset…

also, westworld aside because it’s garbage, GOT is based on a series of books that deliberately subvert the idea of middle ages chivalry as benevolent towards women. the rapey verisimilitude, in the books at least, is thematically relevant. and anyway ASOIAF has some of the best female characters in fantasy period so…

ugh now i really want to read a fantasy novel about an exquisitely woke socially conscious middle ages with elves and dragons and genderqueer kobolds with highly evolved consent culture

the majority of the country wants single payer. that’s not the issue. hypothetically, put it up for a national referendum and it passes overnight. even if you got a democratic supermajority ~80% of democrat national reps are in the pocket of the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. even “no shit” legislation like…

Obama’s DOJ created a separate justice system for the finance criminals that destroyed hundreds of billions in middle class wealth and gave them billions in public funds and limitless get out of jail free cards. Obama accepting hundreds of thousands for 45 minutes of work is a reward he’s receiving from his friends…
