dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I've tried explaining to Americans many times that this is what is necessary, at minimum, to "stop mass shootings" in the usa. You will be shocked to hear that none of them understood a single thing I was trying to convey, either about the scope of the problem or the incredible violence necessary to solve it.

It won't help, the real problem lies in incredible alienation and intense competion in the American society. Even successful "gun hunt" would just shift "mass shootings" into "mass stabbings".

I doubt half the people who commit mass shootings have the physical prowess to pull off a single stabbing

Exactly. People are delusional to compare knives to guns. The number of fatalities would be significantly reduced if people only had access to knives.
