@Ruggwain : What is a culture of forceful physical liberty?

I'm not being scientific

But what I meant there was

A: Being personally in charge of your own physical safety

B: Being the sole guarant of your own rights

C: Finding righteousness in self-defense

It's the only legitimate, long term strategy in a liberal society. Any other scenario leads into a death spiral of nanny-state socialism that seeks to 'protect' and 'prevent harm' to its subjects

Self-defense is the natural state of man. The invention of state protection is a recent concept that we are watching fail over the past century.

Well that's your culture

Cultures aren't moral or objective equals

Gun control is new, and based upon the utopian mindset of weak men in a safe society

The european mindset is different

There is a reason why the first question when telling someone you want to buy a gun is "why? do you want to kill someone?"

It's not possible to lift gun control from such cultures without changing the culture first

Your European mindset is a recent invention, and sort of psuedo-brainwashing enacted by the same reasoning that brought you the fourth-reich EU

It's not a culture

Because righteousness is found in the abdication of forceful liberty

It's societal manipulation

<:think_woke:378717098681171988> pretty woke

Considering this isn't a new thing

There is a reason why America has the highest amount of guns per capita

America is the odd one out not everyone else

And funnily enough second place was Serbia if I recall correctly 🤔

Have you considered that the US is one of the only ones to hold out? What makes you think that America invented this culture?

There is a saying that when everyone else is wrong it's usually just you

I don't think that's the case but America has held this position as the world's most physically libertarian place pretty much since it gained independence

So America was ahead of the curve, and you're asking why should Europe grow the cajones to throw off the historical shackles of feudalism? Unless you're in charge of your own protection, you're nothing more than someone else's property.

All I said was that gun control is needed until you can "re-educate" the populace for lack of a more flattering term to regain their thirst for their own personal liberty

Imagine giving these "brain-washed" people the right to own guns tomorrow morning

Those that should be owning them won't

You'll have an absolute horror period until the populace is forced to learn this on their own
