It doesn't. It happens in Europe as well. As for Flash Mobs, it happens literally everywhere, and can prove to be even deadlier than one carried out via firearm.

you are literally just wrong, the USA has had 288 school shootings since 2009 and the next runner up is mexico with 8.

I'm not saying school shootings don't happen elsewhere, I'm asking as to why school shootings happen at an insanely high rate in the US.

"there is nothing we can do to stop these children from dying, buy more guns citizens! surely putting more guns out in the wild will keep curbing gun violence" - politicians that have taken millions of dollars in NRA donations

anyways in other news, tesla stock is loving tanking and elon is blaming everyone and anything to try to get himself out of the twitter deal because if the stock hits the low 500s he will default on all the loans and lose literally everything

Alternatively:

Elon Musk has been showing signs of being a Republican, then suddenly someone comes out after he claims to be a Republican.

Sounds like opportunistic bullstuff more than this crazy conspiracy theory you've spun.

More like, they reached out to him for a comment then posted "people will try to attack me" to twitter and you just believe him

matthew how often are you gonna get scammed by believing billionaires before you learn anything

I love how you're like "all billionaires should die, I am steadfast in this belief" and then someone's like "what about the sensible one" and you're like "actually, it's ok to capitulate on your principles a little bit"

to be fair notch is more than sensible, hes a huge stoner and tribal as well

they also have constantly been involved with arming and training terrorists in many countries, including the christchurch shooter

if i remember correctly the christchurch shooter visited eastern europe and took inspiration from national socialist movements there but it was never explicitly stated or known if he had contact or received training with azov

while azov and other groups have put out a lot of their own propaganda since the war started, its important to note that they have been reported to have very small numbers, between 900-2500 active soldiers. their social media and PR definitely gives the illusion that they are more significant in size, similar to cartels like CIA or CJNG. their influence over the conflict has been small but well-documented

this is true, it doesn't help that literally every single loving western news outlet loves to promote soldiers with black sun patches

like i swear to god theres so many other battalions, why do big media outlets need to make puff pieces about wives of national socialists? it just gives ammo to all the weirdo RT-adjacent media that love showing how justified they are in invading

this probably isn't exactly what you had in mind, but you might want to get into reading fiction more (if you aren't already). In my experience there's a ton of creative and distinct ideas being used today, moreso than in other kinds of entertainment (videogames, movies, etc). I don't know exactly why, maybe it's because stories can do pretty much anything they want through simple text, as opposed to movies/games that can only include things that the studio is capable of actually making?

this is incredible advice, i've recently been abusing my library card pretty hard and getting into horror fiction and theres nothing like it

it stimulates the creative brain as well so it gives me new ideas for what i want to work on

Reality:

Code: [Select]

There isn't 'fascists' around every corner.
There isn't a 'Don't say Gay' Bill
Refusing to get on your knees and beg for forgiveness because you're white doesn't make you tribal.
And Biden is running the economy into the ground.

i'll give it to you that half of these things are true and the other half are so far from the truth that it makes me worry for your mental health
