that double standard kills me
when it's on youtube, it's evil and profiteering off of tragedy
but when it's on some lamestream media hackjob site, it's just part of the bidness
Good stuff.
Vice said not to make This Is America memes.
Hereโs some templates. Donโt make any memes please.
All the alleged meaning of this video is lost on me.
the only meaning i can see: inner cities are shit places to live, and that seems to be where a lot of black people are. and some of their problems may be self inflicted.
supposedly: we care for guns more than people's lives, as Americans we try to draw attention to the positives of our culture while completely ignoring the fact that the negatives are extremely present, the video is filled with black people and police cause they're caught up in all of this shit in various ways, Gambino (can I just call him Donald Glover, I don't know "Gambino") dances and makes exaggerated facial expressions as a sort of reference to when there were blackface actors but that dancing can also be taken to mean that... I don't want to go to 2000 characters (and I had no idea how much I'd typed) hold on
that dancing can also be taken to mean many other things, ex. he fires the pistol in such a silly pose, indicating that he's used the gun so much he's not even focused on proper handling of it, he's trying to show how cool he looks firing it
"Americans we try to draw attention to the positives of our culture while completely ignoring the fact that the negatives are extremely present"
what America is this? because in the one i live in, they ignore the positives, focus on the negatives, and then make those negatives 1000 times worse than reality.
just one of the things I heard but I assume it's that shit like "MURCA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH!!!" but we still have school shootings or whatever cause we just won't go ahead and do gun control
that kinda point I disagree with, but I think that's the mindset of it
name a single person who thinks America is perfect.
just because they may think its the greatest doesn't mean they think its perfect, or can't be imporved
although if you look at everything, makes you wonder how shitty the world is for that fact to be true
to be the greatest for e xample doesn't mean perfect, I meant they're saying "greatest? you consider it great when we've still got problems A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, etc. yet we have all the power in the world to do something about it?"
pretty bleak world view
do we all the power to do something about it?
๐คท
i think that question is part of the debate
different problems got different shit to it
ex. they say black on black crime kills the most black people, I don't think that's just Tyrone and Dr. Dre beefing
I think it's dudes trying to make money selling drugs
take the gun debate: people say take away all the guns is the answer, yet can't prove it will work. people say give more guns, but can't prove it will work. If we have no proof that either side will work, then how can we know we have the power to stop it?
in order to even fix that we'd have to be willing and able to divert resources to that
then there is the problem of are you actually even looking at the problem, yet alone solving it.
with any given issue
I watch a lot of TV and shit and I correlate what goes on in TV to wondering about what happens in reality. having never looked into it, I dunno how much is shit and how much isn't
but for example, I've finised watch ing The Wire, and the drug game there exists pretty much because... "what are you gonna do about it?"
the police departments, the government, everyone's hurting for money
except the damn criminals
well drugs is a good case study. the war on drugs is an utter failure. Not only was it started in part to jail political opponents, it has had the unintended side effect of making legal drugs more expensive and illegal drugs less so.
but attacking drugs didn't even go after the problem
addiction is a health problem, and jailing people for having a medical condition is a horrible way to treat this.
not to mention, it vilifies medicine with legit uses.
I should've mentioned I do this not just with TV but with games
playing Mount&Blade Warband, I drew a sort of correlation between those criminal elements, deserters/looters/etc. and people doing drug startups irl
eventually, if they go unnoticed for long enough, they reach a size or gain abilities you can't do much about
you might want to take your head out of the games a bit.
games are love
games are life
well, then don't confuse them with reality
besides, comparing them like that brings out interesting things
if you think GTA is how people act normally IRL, boy do you have a low respect for humanity
ex. that specific comparison made me realize, what's to ever stop someone else from starting up the drug game?
say you have a plan to wipe the streets clean of every single drug dealer, even on down to the lowest ranking member
and it works
it works until there is demand, and someone low on cash but access to drugs
yet another reason the war on drugs fails
(aside from the fact people have been getting high since the start of recorded history and before then even)
but i could say the same thing about guns as i do for the war on drugs. Take the AR-15 for example. It is an amazing hog hunting weapon. Wild hogs cause millions of dollars in damages to crops each year. Then tend to come in groups, which is why the AR-15 works so well. A bolt action won't let you kill many hogs after you laid some bait before the scatter. And the hogs you miss will most likely eat some of your crop by morning. This is one of a few reasons it got the nickname of a varmint rifle.
yet people see scary black rifle and assume there is no legit use for it
the focus on a symptom, not the problem, then wonder why the problem doesn't go away, or gets worse but is slightly hidden.
I didn't know any of that, especially about wild hogs. interestin
but yes, I've noticed that as it pertains to gun control, I don't think I've ever seen a guy who was actually intimately familiar with guns aiding with the control side of the argument
I don't think that means anything specifically, but I find that interesting because you'd think there would be one and that he'd be very well-known
like i said, most people who see guns go "big scary black gun" and the only place they have seen it was on the news (and you only really see bad things on the news mostly), and in the hands of bad guys in movies or at war
and given that a large part of the population lives in cities, i don't exactly blame them for being uneducated. In a city, where the police are within walking distance most of the time as is another human who might help, guns are nearly as necessary a tool outside of a deterrent
but leave the city and the cops are not seconds away, they are minutes or sometimes hours away
and thats if the problem is human
i've lived in a wooded area as a kid. wild bears were a common day thing. If i moved back out into the country, a gun is wanted to deal with wild animals more than humans, but if i a human shows up to do me harm, its also my best chance because cops are not gonna be there in time, and i have no where really to run given how far away the nearest other person is
and what good is it banning guns if it doesn't noticeably reduce the overall homicide rate, or causes a sharp increase in violent crimes?
yeah, one person wasn't shot (which doesn't always kill. usually its lack of prompt medical response that kills with gunshots). But instead 1 house was broken into, 2 people mugged, and another stabbed (which a gut stab will have you bleed out dead in 10 minutes)
what I wonder is why people are so fixated on gun killing specifically
it gives some odd feeling as if killings of other kinds are perfectly fine
its "out of sight out of mind"
guns are loud. literally and figuratively.
I ask people that every now and then. the answer I tend to get is "guns are designed to fire hot metal slugs..."
how often does a stabbing make national news?
trade 1 shooting for 3 stabbings and people will say things are safer
because htey didn't hear it on the evening news
as much as I'd be interested in hearing about such a tragedy, unless the killer was Solid Snake or Jack the Ripper, I don't think we're hearing much about a stabbing
exactly
but some person just calls in gun shots at a school and it makes the news (even if there is no evidence there actually was a shot fired)
like i said, stabbings are quieter, and people also think less lethal.
Unless you are in china.
true
then you get mass stabbings of like 100 people
but in china that is someone just accidently sneezing while holding a knife they are so densely populated.
lol
when it comes to shooters one way think of it is this. If a madman can't find a gun then he'll find a knife of not that then poison, making a bomb, acid his bare hands. The weapons are the methods the mindset is what's most lethal.
exactly
i mean, look at the UK, the prized apple of gun control advocates. They still have problems with homicides and seem to now include basically any lawn care equipment as "deadly weapons". Which, to an extent, they can be, but usually its deadly to the operator because they were careless.
if they ban guns, this is the next target: https://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/sei_563403.jpg?w=748&h=561&crop=1
and that still doesn't address the problem
oi you got a license for that potato peeler?
@Adreyu people's arguments with that is that the killer would have to try a lot harder to kill that many people with knife or poison vs a gun you can just buy or steal
tbh I just point people to cars
that is a real fucking tweet from a police department
cars kill a ton of people but no one's gonna willingly part with that power if they have it
these tools can harm as well if ends up in wrong hands. *looks at my hands. you mean these tools?
the pro-gun control people call this argument a slippery slope while pointing to the country that proves its not a fallacy.
I wonder what life in New Zealand is like though
not too long ago I saw a video where it's stated they can legally own machine guns, but there's no mass murder there
they have recently been coming out more and more as ban all guns, not some guns (while saying its not all guns... just semi autos which is 95% of all guns sold these days, even a fucking revolver counts. at least the kind that doesn't require cocking the hammer), then say "it will just go to knifes" is slipper slope while point to the UK.....
funny thing is people who intend to do bad shit don't give a fuck
I saw a vid of a guy robbing a store with a makeshift spear
exactly.
the people who will be the most affected by gun control will be law abiding citizens. and not just any law abiding citizen, the law abiding citizens have stats behind them proving to be the MOST law abiding. the least likely to do any kind of crime.
even if we do that, I wonder how it is people expect things to improve
i'd say a bigger problem with guns in america is the culture of gun ignorance.
it leads to adults being afraid of them and kids not understanding them
kids think they are toys, parents pretend they don't exist
no I mean even if we just all unanimously decided, ok, fuck it, guns are the problem, get rid of them
do they think tomorrow morning is better..?
like ok there's no more school shootings, now you just made people work harder on making a good enough bomb or focus on killing the mother fuckers they actually do want dead
"I kill u and den I die" is still a valid game without a gun
you know, murder is a problem. lets make it illegal
Death is also a huge problem lets make that illegal too!
A Slippery Slope is not always a fallacy! If a proposed policy has limits based on principal it is not a fallacy, if the limits are arbitrary it is. The difference is that you can not use the same argument to expand a policy that is based on principal without changing the argument in some way. In case of gun laws: โban all guns, they have no use other than killingโ is a principled argument that leads to a policy that can not be expanded without changing the argument. โBan guns that are unnecessary deadlyโ is not based on principal but on arbitrary characteristics of guns and can be reused again and again with other characteristics.
Problem is that principled arguments are often the โend stageโ of the slippery slope of the unprincipled ones.
its ironic that about 2 years ago i was arguing with a guy from the uk why their knife crack downs were bad, and he mostly agreed with me that they were bad but only because they were coming from the conservitive party. but when i brought up that basicly at the time you could buy a hatchet from a hardware store, and i literally looked up a uk based hardware store, looked at its stock, and found one being sold, i then argued thats a more effective killing tool than many of the weapons being targeted at the time specificly because at the time the main things being targeted were those dumb "zombie" knife things that are actually kinda shit weapons that mostly look scary. the hatchet also cost less and was more concealible than most of the knives. guy couldent wrap his brain around that one. i guess now you even need a loisence for the hatchet
This made me lol
Plenty of action against knife attacks.
Anything on the rampant acid attacks? :V
don't they just pretend those don't happen so they won't be accused of being 'racist'
I remember back when this game was in development I actually wanted to play it. Then it attracted the most autistic, degenerate fanbase in history.
Undertards make sonic fans seem well adjusted.
Steven Universe is still the worst fandom to date
Yeah, I don't think any other fanbase has a killcount above 0.
best fanbase is clorox
Ew, no. Everyone knows Bleach was trash
No offense @Timcast
Pizza Tattoo ๐ซ
I like that comeback tho
sure... but... Pizza Tattoo...
i just hope there is no pineapple on it ๐
At least it cures hunger
~~~Timcast I'm not getting any suggested videos with your podcast. Did it just get sandboxed?~~~
Can anyone tell me what the fuck I'm witnessing here?
wft im getting the same vid recommendations from the gun one
That just looks like loading issues.
@RyeNorth you see, there was a black person in the video. So YouTube wanted to silence him, but that would also silence a minority member, so it had an interal crisis and just defaulted to kids videos
It's sad that I can kind of buy that as being the truth.
Lmao
> Be Me, and watch the culture war podcast on YouTube
We've noticed.
See above.
I got recommended The Boss Baby movie.
Not sure how I feel about that.
uh huh
YT subtitles ftw.
seriously, how the hell is a news and politics video with the word gun in the title only getting weird children's videos recommended lmao
@Catriman, Herald of Fate oh my god I'm getting the same recommendation
what the fuck
can anyone explain this shit
this is the same for me too
Algorithms gone wrong it seems like.
algorithms gone wrong gone sexual 2018 gun pulled?
Probably the G-U-N , Algorithm might think it's a spelling Vid
oh
yeah that makes sense
the views all in the millions, one being 1.4B
Tims cracked the code, he's gonna get a lot on this vid. School approved <:Rightwingdeathsquad:379808553344696321>
_those recommendations_
this is the only channel can post images in but yall need to see this. Check out the bottom comment.
oh I didn't even look at the most recent post in here
yeah WHAT is going on
Oh didnt realise other people saw it
I got the scoop.
It actually looked like the algorithm shifted in real time.
Bizzare as all hell. at first it wouldn't load anything, like it was sandboxed
Then came the children's cartoons.
like, what the fuck.
The nursery rhyme videos are gone now on my end.
Oh yes! Eggs on toast good sir! Nothing like stripping for children, yes?
Finger family? Oh finger MY family actually
I would just like to say: I have no problem with jews. But Israel really shouldn't be in the Eurovision Song Contest...
I have a problem with Jews, but not just Jews. Jews specifically with their victim mentality. Muslims with their corruption of their leaders of their sections of Islam and its failure to confront their extremists. Christianity with its near social justice mentality and zealous ideas of theocracy
Agreed, there.
I'd argue though, that a lot of the Jews who have a victimhood mentality to them
are the secularized ones.
I'll give them that
For instance, the entire point of Passover is to acknowledge that they were once slaves, and are now free.
They remind themselves that they were slaves, but they give thanks for every step that led to their freedom.
I think Jews are pretty good at separating it's religion and the state
That's actually a pretty strong perspective, in my opinion.
Well, they're better from its children like Christianity and Islam.
Christianity has it's own entirely different problems.
Christianity, as we know it, is a convenient derivative of a convenient derivative, of a convenient derivative
of a religion that was bastardized politically by fact finding missions with death as the consequence of failure.
Everything north of Constantine is fucked.
Jesus, if you think about, Christianity is pretty much the child that ran too far from and just stayed somewhere it wasn't native to
Jesus famously celebrated Passover, for literal Christ Sake...
I actually have a strange respect for Jesus
If you want to be more Christ-like, start by observing Torah, including the parts that are inconvenient to you.
But that's the criticism I keep to myself, except when it's warranted.
Ehh, the Torah's pretty big. I've the read the Bible btw and I thought that was too long
It's really not.
It's mostly the Old Testament.
And most people won't follow that, even.
But even the Old Testament. I just think it's really long
Now if we're talking about the Talmud, that's some muddy waters, there.
There were originally 613 commandments that you're supposed to follow
Lol, what about the Dead Sea scrolls?
The 10 commandments were just what Moses could carry, if you believe the mythos.
Lol, think about Moses carrying 50 stone tablets. I actually went to go look up the history of the DSS and it has a very interesting history.
very thin stones
Yeah, but he would still have to make a lot of them and carry them down just to get pissed
Most of the commandments are listed in Leviticus.
Moses: "You motherfuckers! I've been gone for literally 40 days!"
lel
You know, I think Abrahamic religions need to get more closer to its relation to weed. I mean, come on, talking to a burning bush? Yeah, I bet he's talking to a "burning bush"
I bet he WAS burning bush...
Oh fuck yeah, it must be a great pass time
Let's talk Jews and Degeneracy, shall we? Since the people who speak out about Jews tend to also speak out about Degeneracy...
Is smoking weed really degeneracy? I think it's as degenerate as drinking.
Well, I mean... there's an argument that it's the Jews that are condoning things like Transgenderism
