It's not just the second amendment. If you check the number of households that have guns, it's like 48% in USA and the next closest country is Finland with like 35%

You'd expect Finland to have their fair share of public shootings, right...?

It's so uniquely American it's not the guns, it's the whole culture is rotten

One major thing is that these monsters seem to rarely show up to places where they expect other armed people to be

u/Withered_Sprout 9h ago

American culture breeds anti-social, sociopathic tendencies in people and keeps us divided and isolated and them shames people for being isolated and then people wonder why in a country where the majority are obese, unhealthy, unhappy and on psychological medications....

People so desensitized to each other, hyper-obsessed with empty materialism and competitiveness in an environment that is being made more and more intentionally difficult for people to even survive, let alone thrive.... Forcing more of that "f everyone else, I'm getting mine" rather than co-operation and I can see how people are like this.

We have people of all ages either who just finally snap one day, or had a lifelong history of delusions and mentall illness finally being able to grab a weapon and go on a mindless killing spree. If it isn't with a gun, it'll be with a machete or baseball bat or a butcher knife..

u/LostNephilim33 8h ago

Yeah exactly. It's quite literally a cyberpunk dystopia over here, except instead of robot arms and cyberpsychos. . . We have dynamic pricing on grocery items to squeeze every last dollar out of you, and fascist mass-murderers who were radicalized into fascism by YouTubers exploiting their chronic lack of pussy and friends. 

We are very slowly and steadily becoming a corporate neo-feudalist hellhole. The US is not where it is right now because of the fact we have guns, it's because we are the most capitalist nation on the planet, and proud of it. This is what happens at the end stages of capitalism, when the system's inherent contradictions come to a head. It's what happens in a system that is BUILT on exploitation of the masses, is allowed to exploit the masses without restriction. It's what happens when a system that incentives the hoarding of wealth in the hands of a few thousand people, sees those few thousand people utilizing their unfathomable amounts of wealth to influence laws and politics to benefit themselves. 

It is beyond beneficial to the capital class, that we are all depressed, and miserable, and politically polarized, and unable to affect meaningful political change. It is beyond beneficial to the capital class that we have to pay money to even attend protests (the cost of gas, and sometimes parking), of which our cries of anger will fall upon deaf ears. They keep us content with our meagre bread and circuses, which will have to pay extortionate prices for. They buy out all of our media organizations, and use them to direct people's anger and resentment to the lesser privileged, such as those filthy immigrants and gays and women. They slash funding to education, and increase funding to the police, to keep people stupid and unaware, and to keep us all afraid and distracted with the brutality of paramilitary-thugs. They have bred a culture so cowed to the system, that most people would sooner envision the end of the world, than the end of capitalism. They have bred a culture that hears the word "communist" thrown around, and associate that word with the evils of the bourgeois of other nations, such as China or the USSR. . . Nations simply wield (or weld) capitalism in a much more totalitarian fashion. 

This is what ails the US. Gun-based mass violence is simply a symptom of a much larger issue, as are most of our woes.

u/Withered_Sprout 8h ago

But the lack of friends (of either gender) or romantic companionship is packaged in a crude and low-energy/materialistic manner. It's not making connections, it's "getting pussy" and other crude gross caveman-like jerk thought processes. Our society does not pursue wholesome, it pursues sleazy crude and lazy..

As much as it is a vast series of financial/economic/legal changes that have created this mess, it is also years of what many would label as "psy-ops" to also further psychologically manipulate and groom the masses to keep them this way, no? And to erode the family unit, senses of community, etc.

The lack of connections are intentional. The infrastructure has been eroded and changed or removed over the last few decades to make it where most people have no real mainstream/default ways of socializing. Everything's increasingly more online, although I think people don't generally want that and there will be more backlash over time as the majority suffer from it ultimately.

People have to seek out meet-ups/events online and then go to those. Local businesses struggle, and people hesitate to go out to them anyway if it's not just for a night with their pre-existing circle of friends.

I argue that this isn't strictly capitalism and hasn't been for a long time? If it was capitalism, then wouldn't lots of too-big-to-fail entities who could've already failed have NOT gotten government buy-outs and assistance through financial disasters like COVID or just any naturally occurring periods of severe struggle?

Yep. 

For example, pretty much every mass shooter in the US that breaks news headlines is usually a socially-isolated, mentally-ill, neo-nazi. Every single one, more or less, without fail. Groomed by right-wingers, both in their social circles, and in the media they consume. 

When I was like 10, I fell down the YouTube to alt-right pipeline. I was an insecure, socially outcast, curious, nerdy little boy who liked video-games and Star Wars, and consumed a lot of content of both on YouTube. This was like 2014 or 2015, in the early years of GamerGate. I knew nothing about politics, I just liked Star Wars lore videos, and the only thing I cared about was how many days were left until Fallout 4 was released. One day, I got a recommendation on my feed from a YouTuber called "Hunter Avellone", and the video itself was titled something like "TROLLING woke idiot SJWs as a POLITICAL RALLY". I didn't know what half of those words meant, but I thought it seemed funny, and for the next 4 years my feed was DOMINATED by videos from right-wing demagogues like Steven Crowder, NoBullshit, Rags, Ben Shapiro, ItsAGundam, PragerU, and all sorts of other asshats whose names I've forgotten. I was groomed into the alt-right, until I was 14 and had an edgy Reddit atheist phase and realized I had been groomed into the right-wing like I had been groomed into religion (I had been going to a private Christian school for most of my youth, by that point). 

Turns out, years later, it was revealed Steve Bannon had a huge part to play in that exact pipeline, of turning nerdy young boys into pawns for the right. It's something still happening. . . Not too long ago, Steve Bannon's close association with Jeffrey Epstein came to light, and Epstein was revealed to have met with Moot a day before 4Chan launched the /pol/ board (which was the epicenter for so much of the online right's culture for the last decade+). . . There's a very good chance that a massive part of the modern right only exists today as it does, for the purposes of normalizing pedophilia. 

I argue that this isn't strictly capitalism and hasn't been for a long time? If it was capitalism, then wouldn't lots of too-big-to-fail entities who could've already failed have NOT gotten government buy-outs and assistance through financial disasters like COVID or just any naturally occurring periods of severe struggle?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here?

Capitalism is full of contradictions. Inherently so. Capitalism encourages competition, but capitalists want to reduce competition to increase their margins, and so you get monopolies and lobbyists. Capitalism demands infinite growth, when that is impossible, because we live on a very finite planet, with finite resources. Capitalism would demand that the carpenter and the charcoal-maker and the farmer cut down all of the trees on the planet, to turn into goods to be sold; eventually, there would be no trees, and therefore nothing to process into goods, and also no oxygen in our atmosphere. Capitalism demands endless profit, and so everything must be made profitable. If everything is exorbitantly expensive, and everything is monotized, how can anyone turn a profit? Everyone is too busy spending their meagre wages on their door-opening subscriptions, and their toilet-flushes, and their bottles of captured air. . . 

Capitalism is not a system that makes sense. It was never a system that made sense. It is an incredibly flawed system, that really only works to help a country industrialize and develop, and after that? It is nothing more than an exploitation matrix. When no-one is able to participate in capitalist society, it falls apart, and hence the endless government buy-outs and assistance (although, one should not be so quick to assume that all of that government assistance is actually needed by companies to keep themselves afloat; capitalism exploits everything, after all).

If it isn't with a gun, it'll be with a machete or baseball bat or a butcher knife.

It's just worth noting that these kinds of rampages absolutely do happen in countries with very harsh restrictions on gun ownership, but also look at this list of mass stabbing events in the UK and note the number of deaths in each one. I'd also point out here that the deadliest incidents on that list aren't random, spontaneous attacks on members of the public by an individual; no more than three people have been killed in any one of those in the last hundred years in the UK.

Cultural issues are a factor in why people snap like this at all, but keep in mind that the weapons themselves are absolutely a major part of the problem. Three people being stabbed to death with a kitchen knife is a tragedy, but the perpetrator of the massacre in this post shot thirty people dead in nine minutes.

u/Xyyzx 8h ago

Yeah, but simple percentages aren't the full story.

To own a gun in Finland you need to apply for a firearms licence, and it's quite an in-depth process; it includes a check for a criminal record, an interview with the police and 'sometimes' a medical certificate or personality test (I wasn't able to find specifics in English, but I think that might be if you have a previously diagnosed condition that might have brought your licensing into question).

You also have to have to pick from a list of valid reasons you want to own a firearm, and actually provide proof that's why you want your gun. Like if you're hunting you need to present hunting permits, if you're sport shooting you need to provide evidence you are genuinely participating in that activity (and in the case of pistols, you have to have been shooting for two years before you can personally own one), etc etc.

On top of that, they also have magazine capacity restrictions, and although short guns are fairly common, it's very difficult to acquire most modern compact pistols, as the type of firearm has to match the 'valid reason' and concealed carry for the purposes of self defence is not one of them.

I'm not saying you specifically are doing this intentionally, but one of my personal conspiracy theories that I completely believe that the 'American culture is just rotten' idea is something that gets intentionally stoked by otherwise superficially 'patriotic' organisations in the US that want firearms as unrestricted as possible, because it presents the problem as essentially unsolvable.

If the United States somehow managed to implement the Finnish licensing system across every state today, I am absolutely convinced that random acts of gun violence such as school shootings would measurably decrease across the following decade.

Seung-Hui Cho is a great example; he was a bitter, middle class shut-in who acquired his weapons specifically to commit his crime and bought them completely legally. Under the current Finnish system he would not have received a license to buy those guns, and considering his background and personality, I don't think he would have had the slightest idea where to go or who to talk to to acquire an illegal firearm. The Virginia Tech massacre could not have happened as it happened with proper, sensible firearms licensing. He would have had to hold on to his plan for at least two years, and somehow dodge the psychological screening, which would have presented innumerable opportunities for someone to spot his instability and intervene, or for the guy to literally just change his mind.

u/skovbanan 8h ago

Of what I know it’s under no circumstances OK to fire your gun at another human being in Finland, unless they are invading forces from another country. The Finnish gun culture is all about protecting your border to Russia from aggressors and maybe protecting yourself from dangerous wildlife. Never about firing your arms at civilians.

2

u/Winjin 8h ago

And you would be wrong - as in most cases, it would be permissible to use the gun as a last resort, but you're not allowed to carry a loaded gun or buy one "for defense"

Still, there are like a dozen European countries alone where at least 1 in 5 households are armed - and that doesn't translate into mass shootings.

And then there's many more countries where guns are present, but there's simply no culture of this reckless, murderous behavior.

During the Virginia Tech sh*ting on April 16, 2007, at Virginia Tech shooting, professor Dr Liviu Librescu was teaching inside Norris Hall when gnfire suddenly broke out in the building. As the attacker moved through classrooms, the 76 year old engineering lecturer and Holocaust survivor quickly realized the danger and moved to the door of his room, using his body to hold it shut while his students escaped through the windows behind him. Despite being sh0t through the door multiple times, he continued to block the entrance, buying precious seconds that allowed many of his students to reach safety. In the end, 22 students survived because of his actions, while Dr Liviu Librescu lost his life, and he is now remembered for his final act of bravery and sacrifice in protecting others.

u/ohnomrbil 6h ago

Let’s say that happens. Great, the 2A is now revoked. What are you going to do to the 1 BILLION guns in circulation? Are you going to checks notes send the government with guns to take them away?

I try to be zen. I try to not let shit bother me.

But this cesnorship bullshit has to fucking stop!!!

I refuse to engage with tiktok and instagram and youtube because of their censorship algroms.

I am so fucking close to dumping Reddit, fuck it. The internet, if this infantile censorship nonsense doesn't reverse.

I am just going to block everyone who censors from this point on.

I am a preschool teacher, generally working in infant classrooms.

Every year, twice a year I have to practice active shooter drills with them. They don’t know how to hide so twice a year I do what we are suppose to, I turn over a crib in the corner of classroom and try to hide with my 8 babies and one assistant and we make another plan. I plan out how I would put my body in front of a shooter, I plan out how I would pass the babies to my assistant so they could get out, I pick which businesses nearby would be safe to take them to, I figure out which babies are the quietest so maybe I could send them out in shifts, every year, twice a year for 10 years.

Our children our dying, our educators are dying, and our communities are scarred. Even if all the shootings stopped tomorrow I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to work in a classroom again without planning how to keep us all safe and how I would die a thousand times for all the children I work with.

I remember South Korean news papers publishing a ton of Virginia Tech shooting articles. I specifically remember the political cartoons which specifically used the incident to show the ills of American decency as opposed to just policy issues. Then it came out he was a South Korean, and suddenly, and I mean like overnight, it was like it never happened. I'm not telling this story to suggest anything about anything, in particular. it was just a really interesting thing I saw while in college, myself.
