There’s mixed evidence of whether or not mass shootings have a contagion effect, that people who are already “primed” see this shit on tv and decide that today’s the day.

Or it could just be chance.

But maybe, here’s an idea, we don’t let people who make terroristic threats have guns. I don’t care about what kind of gun, if you credibly threaten to murder a bunch of people, no gun for you.

Socialist, green, and marijuana legalization parties make sense on paper. Of course that’s only as long as you ignore how votes are counted, where the money comes from, and their actual listed accomplishments.

Yeah, they are sort of just the worst in JSOC (although one wonders about the CIA direct action groups). But between this shit, the Nazis in the KSK, and Australian helicopter musical-chairs, it really does seem like there’s something about special operations that attracts the worst a country has to offer.

Yeah as someone who uses both this is really not much of a feature.

The punishment is known. Feed him to Zizek.

If we’re going to be really credible:

1. Have the biggest economy, or
2. Be allies with the biggest economies

In their defense, it turns out that a lot of the insanity and violent mood swings are related to brain damage from firing 10.3s indoors constantly.

But on the other hand what the fuck.

I have a full instance block and it still isn’t enough. Every day more braindead tankie takes make it through the filter.

“everything the USSR/CCP/DPRK did wrong is actually capitalist state intelligence propaganda” is so exhausting.

“Capitalism is bad” apparently no longer includes state capitalism or the political capital exploitation of the vanguard class that preceeds it.

In this case, yes. Visually indistinguishable from a photo is considered CSAM. We don’t need any new laws about AI to get these assholes. Revenge porn laws and federal CSAM statutes will do.

Dragunov: disrespected. PKM: also disrespected. Skorpion: most disrespected on this unhappy day.

For real, infantry training is way more valuable than any particular weapon gimmick as long as it is “good enough”. The Soviets figured out qd optics crazy early, but it’s not like every grunt was issued an AKMN and taught to use a magnified optic.
