Comment on Lakewood Church shooting suspect identified as transgender woman; 'Free Palestine' written on gun
Blamemeta@lemm.ee 8 months agoI’m saying gun violence because that’s the topic. Getting upset over this wording is like getting upset somebody calls a ride on a plane “air travel” instead of “travel”. That’s the category of the subject being discussed.
We’ve been over this so many times, it’s not worth typing it up anymore. But for our audience, gun violence is a propaganda term. It’s basically, take all violence, and throw out anything that doesn’t help with disarming the people. If pizza here actually cared about saving lives, he would actually look at violence itself. Remember, violence is a symptom. Disarming the people will not solve social-economic problems.
So when left wing sources push an angle, it’s to reduce deaths. When right wing sources push an angle, it’s to demonize minorities who are already at risk for violence.
You’re being intentionally obtuse. left wing sources want to disarm the people, not to save lives.
Glorifying shooters only makes copy cats more likely. The AP is being responsible.
We’re well past the point of worrying about copy cats.

Just because you say something doesn’t mean it’s true. I’m telling you my intention is to reduce harm. You can make up whatever bullshit you want to convince yourself that my intentions are elsewhere. You can lie to yourself all you want.
But I know my intentions, and they are just straight “hur dur take da gunz”.
But that’s not the topic. This is a post about a shooting, a specific event, not violence as a whole.
I am aware. That doesn’t change the fact that what I said is true.
I never said otherwise. You completely missed the point of what I am saying.
Prove it. Prove that their intentions are this hidden mischievous conspiracy.
For those such as yourself that don’t care about people dying, sure. But for the rest of us it is still a concern.

What is even the point of arguing with you?

If you don’t like arguing with people then perhaps become the head mod of a political subreddit wasn’t a good idea.

You know, I used to. I used to enjoy digging up news articles, charters, recordings, studies, whatever. Felt like maybe I was getting through to people. Maybe not in the moment, but maybe theyd think about what they read. If not agreeing with me, at least just understanding just a little more.
Its really disheartening.
