Why do you speak in internet cliches and talking points?

Yeah this kind of response makes me think you're in a troll farm, it's so extremely silly. there's no legitimate right wing political faction that is advocating for the death of all queer people. there might be some angry, misspelled rants on a poster at a neo-Nazi rally. Tweets don't count, That's not legitimate discussion or discourse. that's just graffiti on a bathroom wall.

I'm not saying that there isn't more of a political problem on the right in America than there is on the left. Conservatives are often on the wrong side of history. But the left has some insane notions as well that they hold with as much religious fervor as the right.

Poorly trained dogs jumped on you in public, you saw dogs in spaces you don't normally see dogs, and one ate something of yours off a counter. And you think people make them too important? Is that it?

I'm saying that to point out the fact that anti-israeli sentiments aren't inherently antisemitic is superfluous, and not implied by the article or the FBI's director.

BUT, any time Israel is in the news for anything it brings out anti-semitism. Israeli conflicts act as a proxy war for regional and global powers, and both organic and deliberate antisemitic propaganda is ramping up.

I'm not entirely sure you understand how any of this works. It would be quite a stretch of the imagination to suggest that a human rights lawyer at the UN is in any significant way responsible for the perpetuation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Ah. My point was not to say that mass shootings are strictly because of advancements in firearm technology. Anyone who thinks it's not multifactorial is a moron. But anyone who thinks the underlying technology isn't fundamentally required for the phenomenon to occur is also a moron.

I was only responding to the fact that OP said 200 years, and just from a practical perspective 200 years ago you just couldn't do a mass shooting. If you ask me why we didn't have mass shootings in the 50s through 70s that's a different question that actually gets to the point of the matter. 200 years is such a long timeframe as to be silly. Might as well ask why people didn't send bulk emails in the 20s.

When people say it's not the time, it's especially the time.
