It is not even that. It is all about the money. Seriously, the 2nd amendment is a marketing ploy at this point.

There are as many guns in the US as their are people. No one is restricted from getting a gun unless they are purchasing at a gun shop.

I swear the whole racist bigot angle is also marketing to get dischenfranchised groups to buy guns at this point.

Marketing Exec: Where do we tap the next gun market? Oh yes, the gays, liberals, and women.

It is a fucking joke on us at this point.

Gorilla marketing, when you charge at someone and stop right before you fuck them up and then offer to sell them something.

I think the majority agree wars/conflicts should end. It is the monied minority keeping it going. How long will we let them pit human against each other to line their pocket books?

The Supreme Court sided with business over the US government. No surprise there. According to the law this whole action was illegal. I am surprised it was not unanimous and had three dissenters.

Where in the fuck do companies get off thinking the tariffs, paid by consumer, is going to be refunded to them!?

It is way past time to put the indutrial military complex to rest. We can solve our problems without blowing each other up. At this point I suspect they are the ones manufacturing conflicts.

When you have a third party telling you to hate each other I think this breaks down.

Think of someone who has been taught to hate gays realizing there is no reason to.

If you hate me for a made up reason even you don't understand I will point it out to you. The ruling class has been using hate and division to control us for far too long and I am done with their stupid games.

If there is a legitimate reason to hate perhaps, but I find it hard to hate someone back when both parties have no reason other than propaganda to hate each other.

You mean the East Wing where they used to molest all the children? Demolished so all the evidence is gone. Many boys, particularly during the Bush era, could explain in intricate detail what the rooms looked like, how many stars were on the ceiling, describing the moldings. It is common to dissociate when getting molested and hyper focus on your surroundings.

Nope, it is about competition with the firearms industry.

I really believe it boils down to control. How do you ensure someone is going to do your bidding. It seems like they only put people into power that have been compromised. That way they always have the blackmail in hand to keep them in check.

The US began wholesale spying on its citizens decades ago, but they didn't stop there. They use social media as their intelligence gathering apparatus. Instead of playing cloak and dagger games people willingly give up all their information.

This is the evolution of a society without privacy where people have been trained to offer up their lives to marketers who in turn sell this information to experts that use the best of psychology to manipulate us.

Targeted oppression, uncontrollable greed, and a lust for power have taken root and created a worldwide cabal of wealthy individuals that can and will call the shots for all the nations. They do this through their favorite proxy the corporation.

It is no wonder every nation is beholden to private enterprise with most nations ranging over 90% of legislation either written directly by corporate lawyers or written on their behalf with their constant guidance.

The other 10% is often performative legislation like bathroom bills in the US or anti-immigration laws in Europe. These are designed to create social divisions and pit humans against each other in a form of controlled opposition.

Would you trade their oppression for an even worse one. Are you fine with America and Israel making the decision like so many nations have done so before.

Iran has had no less than three coups in the 20th century and major powers such as the US have been heavily involved with several regime changes

Are you advocating that this has been good for Iran and it needs a nation to bomb, to invade, and replace their leadership. Do you think they have no right to self determination.

No one is making excuses for their shitty regime with large amounts executions being their most reprehensible actions. Not to mention massive social oppression like what is happening right now.

I don't think that anything positive is going to come from Trump and Netanyahu murdering more innocents. Are we really saying that the only way forward is to allow the US to fuck with their country another time now?

That appeared to be the highest amount in literature I found. So it is definitely the high end.

I learned that the environment played a large role in cancer awhile ago, but the heart disease challenge my perception as well. While it does not appear to be the dominate factor, it is definitely a significant one.
