@skaldsyn98@Inkantatious@o_sneedy@suh_less Firearms related includes both suicide and murder; together, they’re more than motor deaths. And the second doesn’t contain figures, but is a CDC run study who are making the claim based on the data they have (which can be accessed by anyone)
@skaldsyn98@Inkantatious@o_sneedy@suh_less I don’t think it’s fair to call him a liar. Even if he wasn’t correct, it’s still then the second leading cause of death and his overall point still stands
@skaldsyn98@Inkantatious@o_sneedy@suh_less The data cited in your most recent linked source contains data from the CDC WONDER database, which says that gun deaths exceeded motor deaths from 2020-2024. That data is drawn from CDC data that can be accessed annually. There’s also a 2023 CDC study making the same claim
@skaldsyn98@Inkantatious@o_sneedy@suh_less That same source also says that gun deaths for children below 17 surpassed that of motor deaths. Also, one year - which could be an anomaly - doesn’t carry more statistical weight than the decade long trend prior to it
@skaldsyn98@Inkantatious@o_sneedy@suh_less How is it ‘irrelevant’ when the source is from a few years ago, meaning it is likely - and, according other sources, is already true - that firearms deaths have increased to the level Leibowitz is saying they have?
@skaldsyn98@Inkantatious@o_sneedy@suh_less If this is your source, it’s from a few years ago and still highlights the huge rise in firearms related deaths over the past decade and discusses the failures to protect children from such incidents https://t.co/vbnkF7kfIO
@Weetoed189328@prolateriatOU@GoodVibePolitik The rebellion in the books happens due to ultraorthodox Jews hating the idea of Palestinian refugees entering Israel. It’s not led by the Palestinians
@Foxxi0nn@DrWalterBennett@Valkyrie028@HubPointless ‘The characters’ is a massive generalisation. Sure, a lot of them were. A lot also weren’t. Floch is portrayed incredibly sympathetically the whole time.
@Foxxi0nn@DrWalterBennett@Valkyrie028@HubPointless The execution of the Mikasa reveal was also pretty bad. Something as simple as Eren’s POV during their scenes together to recontextualise it into being more romantic from his perspective. But nah, randomly ‘I love mikasa blah blah’.
@Foxxi0nn@DrWalterBennett@Valkyrie028@HubPointless That’s still fucking stupid. ‘Oh, we’ve known each other for ages. That means I have to be grateful you murdered millions’. He still knew it was wrong, hence why Armin did end up working to kill him. So it’s a weird decision to thank him for the act you’re going to kill him for
@Foxxi0nn@DrWalterBennett@Valkyrie028@HubPointless ‘Thank you, Eren’ is one of the worst lines of the whole show. Eren killed an incomprehensible number of people and Armin is just 😀 when they have their little talk. Barely even criticises the genocidal manchild
