Well, shit.

Are these some kind of propaganda bots, or are people actually that stupid to repeat each others bullshit?

I think it’s both, usually at the same time. Brainwashed bot-people.

I read “amoral” as “amore” + “al” instead of “a-moral”.

Made me wonder how the horniness of the fairies is related.

Gun control does work great, when implemented on a national level.

Literally no science to support the notion it doesn’t.

Only brainwashed Americans think it doesn’t work.

You mean you “couldn’t care less”, not you “could care less”.

Dear America — David Mitchell’s soapbox

You’re repeating bad NRA propaganda. There is zero evidence that gun control doesn’t work, and a literal fuckton of evidence that it does.

So be brainwashed if you will, but there is literally no science at all to support your side, so you’re essentially worse than a Flat Earther in this argument. Since they at least offer attempts at explaining their insanity. You don’t, you just say something without having any actual evidence for it.

What the fuck is “cop shopping”?

Well I did kinda guess that much.

What does that actually mean?

Christian homophobia is not Christian-based at all. People don’t like the thing that is different

It’s just a happy little evil coincidence.

It’s not. It’s an inherent quality in Abrahamic monotheistic religions.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_monotheism#Violence_in_monotheism

The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine.

Christianity is inherently intolerant (see the 10 commandments).

Well written and all.

However I’d like to point out that even modern warfare, despite how much it’s changed (take for instance rather basic troops having access to small drones to drop grenades with into foxholes and trenches), kinda the basics remain: you have men advance to a position by any means necessary.

Since, idk, thousands of years ago when first actually organised militaries appeared, the basics — or “the game”, if you will — has been very much the same, but the technology changes “the meta.”

When I was sitting lessons in the army in 2009, most of us were wondering why we needed to drill such basic strategies and tactics, and why would they ever matter, because the enemy has thousands of nukes. The lieutenant explained rather well how despite modern weaponry and technology, a lot of the basics of war are still very much the majority of it.

Like for example the Gatling gun made this strategy quite bad, but the Gatling gun wasn’t instantly everywhere. It’s not like with videogames where the whole game is patched and everyone has to use the new meta because everyone has the same rules. Unlike in real life, where the “meta” changes slowly and not everywhere all at once.

And where one reliable thing is that in war things like new tech can’t always be relied upon.

Wars are just so futile nowadays. I get that global cooperation was a practical impossibility even just 50 years ago, but nowadays it really isn’t. Case in point, I have no idea which country’s army you the reader thought of when I said “army.” With probability, American, but I actually talked about the Finnish one.

I’ve also veered quite far from the original point. Here, have some Doctor Who as compensation:

The Doctor: Because it’s not a game, Kate. This is a scale model of war. Every war ever fought right there in front of you. Because it’s always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who’s going to die. You don’t know who’s children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they’re always going to have to do from the very beginning – sit down and talk! Listen to me, listen. I just – I just want you to think. Do you know what thinking is? It’s just a fancy word for changing your mind.
