Shitlibs: Diversity of opinions and civil debates are the beauty of liberal democracy!
Also shitlibs: Anyone who disagrees with my position is automatically transgressing against me, and thus deserve all the slurs/misgendering they get 😡
@poodychulak @doll_ballet_bea @ViridianLakes @AidanTheJester And if society continues to be stratified and alienated, mass murders and hate crimes like this will continue to happen again and again.
@poodychulak @doll_ballet_bea @ViridianLakes @AidanTheJester I DO want them to charge forward and overthrow the ruling class. Therefore, arming the poor does something to me.
"Bullies don't think twice until you beat their ass" exactly. Literally my point. After beating their asses, they'll start thinking twice.
@poodychulak @doll_ballet_bea @ViridianLakes @AidanTheJester the right to bear arms to a few violence-monopolizers, you are reinforcing the stratification that causes crimes in the first place.
On the other hand, arming marginalized people may seem like escalating violence in the short run, but it paves the way to a more egalitarian and
@poodychulak @doll_ballet_bea @ViridianLakes @AidanTheJester You're missing my point. When I said it's just MAD on a micro scale, I meant it as a good thing. MAD works. There's a reason why the Cuban missile crisis didn't end the world. There's a reason why countries with no nukes are subjugated by countries with nukes.
@poodychulak @doll_ballet_bea @ViridianLakes @AidanTheJester Of course, having no nukes at all is the best option, but as long as nukes still exist the few countries that hold them will hold immense power over the rest of the world, and that's not ideal either.
@poodychulak @doll_ballet_bea @ViridianLakes @AidanTheJester Oh ffs. Let's put it this way: bullies bully because they know the victim is weaker so they can get away with attacking them, right? But what if the victim is now just as strong? The bullies will think twice.
Utopia must be based on equality, which requires an equality of arms.
@poodychulak @doll_ballet_bea @ViridianLakes @AidanTheJester There's a difference between a class of violence-monopolizers on the top than marginalized people using violence to defend themselves against aggressors.
Cops don't prevent crimes because they maintain the stratified social structure that cause crimes in the first place.
@Maybe_not_a_Fed@ArretCaTabarnak@skrewpa1 @AmyWasp @EFJBGC I understand why you have a knee-jerk responses, but rationality is also important. Ask yourself if you're actually caring about children's mental health or you're just on a purity crusade.
@Maybe_not_a_Fed@ArretCaTabarnak@skrewpa1 @AmyWasp @EFJBGC No child is harmed except they've been exposed to the existence of nightclub culture. Letting them explore and acknowledge the real world is a healthy thing unless they're exposed to actual pornography. Y'all just on a purity culture crusade.
