Unpopular Opinion

Almost like the entire country was built over Indian burial grounds.

Let's be real though, there's no such thing as curses. This is a human situation problem.

First, you only read the headline of the article. If you're going to read headlines and speculate the rest of the story, you're going to create the most extreme version. Headlines are intentionally misleading and catchy to get you to click and share them. Read the actual story from multiple sources, and you'll probably find that the full story is a lot less crazy.

But yes, there are some stories that are just as gruesome as their headline. There's not much more to a story like "6 elementary school students dead after another school shooting" and these things happen here significantly more than elsewhere in the world. There's lots of debate about why and no one can agree on an exact reason, but it's definitely a situational issue. Meaning that if you took the exact same person who murdered children and gave them an entirely different life from birth, they likely will be an entirely different person. It's not something that some people are just "born" to do, it's something their situation points them to.

My personal opinion on the solution to the issue is to have ten to a hundred times more guidance counselors at school, with mandatory, regular confidential counseling/therapy for each student. (Of course with strong firearm regulations in the meantime.) But honestly I don't think the problem is going anywhere any time soon. The absolute craziness shown by millions of people during 2020-2021 shows that the people who need help the most will fight that help every step of the way.

I mean... It is built on an old native American burial ground. 🤔

Well, have you read much news about other parts of the world?

That's nice.

Now do your research into weapons manufacturing and learn about all the countries that are involved in this particular industry. You will soon find it's a global racket and isn't just isolated to one nation.

As an example, I use many brands of components that are produced by Nammo or other European companies in my own reloading room. (Berger, Vihtavuori, etc..) It just so happens I live in the US. Hell, even the "American" smokeless powders I use originate in Australia.

That is just the tip of the iceberg, friend.

Edit: Huh. Even CCI got sold of to a foreign company. CCI and Winchester make #41 primers mostly used in NATO 5.56 ammunition, btw. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vista_Outdoor#:~:text=Vista%20Outdoor%20Inc.,-Type&text=Vista%20Outdoor%20is%20the%20parent,%241.91%20billion%2C%20pending%20regulatory%20approval.

Calling the USA "cursed" is abrogation of responsibility, because a curse is a third-party affliction.

The USA's situation is entirely a first-party affliction. It's cultural insanity at work: gun worship, the belief that violence solves all problems, the clinical-grade paranoia over any kind of collective solution to anything, and, more recently, the worship of laissez-faire capitalism.

There's no curse. There's a fundamentally broken culture and society. That is all.

Yeah, cursed by a 2 party system with fascists on one side and right leaning capitalists on the other.

Gun violence, misery, and poorly directed anger has ruled this country for some time now.

As a UK resident with US relatives, it seems the same way to me too. If we look at gun ownership, the experiment of allowing such easy access has seemingly failed continuously. The rest of the world has clear evidence of the direct relationship between easy gun access of excess deaths and massacres. Sadly when it comes to funding bullies in other countries, the UK is on a par with the US.

Oh my GOD, Americabad oh no oh God america

I agree with that. US's most definitely cursed. How can we free US from the curse tho? Do you have any ideas OP?
