No, I’m just to the right of most lemmy users, which is a very low bar. All karma says is that people disagree with me, nothing more. You know that, so why act differently?
Can we not be super pedantic? A lot of violence is fueled by systemic racism, happy?
You’ve made a huge, sweeping claim with zero support or explanation of the causal link. Asking for evidence is reasonable.
Thats the million dollar question, isn’t it?

As if hitler didn’t disarm the jews. Remind me, which one of us likes gun control?
🤡
So these people were actually proposing we have tighter gun control? Disney is an odd place to hold a rally for DeSantis, but it’s a free country.
My solution is that there isn’t a problem with gun violence, there’s a problem with violence.
Violence which is caused by systemic racism.
Claiming that all shootings are the result of systemic racism is a huge claim. Do you have evidence to support that?
And how do you intend that we solve said systemic racism?
