Most people disagree with conservative politics, and that goes doubly so for the fediverse. The voting system is more or less a agree/disagree system. And you are posting this to bolster Trump's image.
Couple those together and it's pretty straightforward why this got downvoted.
What are you even talking about?
Are you going to address what I said?
Mate, here’s a great example of you intentionally pissing everyone off.
... by simply existing evidently.
But you’re still managed to piss everyone off, while maintaining a thin facade of civility.
If bringing up straight facts is enough to piss people off, then you guys are the problem, not me or the facts.
you aren’t here to discuss or anything
Then why the fuck would I be putting in the tiniest bit of effort? Trolls don't put effort in.
The whole "what could have stopped X" question is a loaded one. But regardless, the answer is gun control, and U.S. law should learn from modern German law:

It's crazy how even this right wing sources seems to understand that gun control is necessary and a requirement for low gun death rates, given that they admit right at the begging of the article that they have amongst the lowest death rates out there.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate
Total:
Germany: 1.04/capita
United States: 12.21/capita
Homicide only:
Germany: 0.06/capita
United States: 4.46/capita
If more guns & lax gun laws made us safe, we would should expect to see the opposite. Yet we don't, because anybody with half a brain understands that a tool whose purpose is to kill as easily as possible will make killing easier when it is around untrained people/people with insufficient reason to own it/people who store them poorly.
That's a 75x smaller gun homicide rate. We aren't going to get that small of a rate without gun control.
Inb4 somebody calls me a troll despite putting effort into this: fuck off
Its like posting pictures of dogs in a cat sub, it just doesnt belong.
But the moment somebody posts a picture of a cat* wearing a nazi arm band, it gets deleted, despite quite a lot of cats* supporting/being complacent of nazis.
You must not be very familiar with the impacts of colonialism then. Take your time and read these:

Equating the two is laughable. You are equating
conquest
the intentional destruction of a people's civilization/government
slavery
to
the people trying to escape said destruction/lingering impacts
the people moving to our nations for the hope of working for a better life, who have lower crime rates than the existing population, and are a net boon to the economy
It is beyond ridiculous, and a miscarriage of history.
Do you honestly believe it is logical to equate colonialism to immigration?
Tell me honestly, what grade school level are you in?
All he did was post the worksheet and claimed he won.
A quick reading of the actual material is all it takes to show this article to be full of shit.
No it does not. It does not say that reading and writing is a characteristic of white supremacy.
It’s obviously trying to conflate the two.
No, it's not. It's defining the phrase.
It is saying:
Is defined by:
It say nothing about the love of reading or writing, or contracts. And what's worse is that they are very clearly saying that "worship of the written word" is a characteristic/trait of white supremacy, not white supremacy. So you're missing (it seems willfully at this point) the meaning of what they are saying.
If you asked any random person what worshiping the written word was
If you did that, you'd get a million different answers. And that's why they defined it:
they’d probably say “loving reading” or “loving writing” or something to that effect.
You're just pulling this out of you ass.
It’s super obvious propaganda.
All you're doing is making up a meaning that very clearly isn't there, and then getting upset over your own made up meaning.
Pick one. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You guys remove posts that contain facts the moment they don't have confirm the conclusions you already hold.
