conservatives like ideas and discussion
We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias.
Pick one. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You guys remove posts that contain facts the moment they don’t have confirm the conclusions you already hold.
Most people disagree with conservative politics, and that goes doubly so for the fediverse. The voting system is more or less a agree/disagree system. And you are posting this to bolster Trump’s image.
Couple those together and it’s pretty straightforward why this got downvoted.
The whole “what could have stopped X” question is a loaded one. But regardless, the answer is gun control, and U.S. law should learn from modern German law:

It’s crazy how even this right wing sources seems to understand that gun control is necessary and a requirement for low gun death rates, given that they admit right at the begging of the article that they have amongst the lowest death rates out there.

Total:
Germany: 1.04/capita
United States: 12.21/capita
Homicide only:
Germany: 0.06/capita
United States: 4.46/capita
If more guns & lax gun laws made us safe, we would should expect to see the opposite. Yet we don’t, because anybody with half a brain understands that a tool whose purpose is to kill as easily as possible will make killing easier when it is around untrained people/people with insufficient reason to own it/people who store them poorly.
That’s a 75x smaller gun homicide rate. We aren’t going to get that small of a rate without gun control.
Inb4 somebody calls me a troll despite putting effort into this: fuck off
It’s obviously trying to conflate the two.
No, it’s not. It’s defining the phrase.
It is saying:
- Worship of the written word
Is defined by:
- honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.
It say nothing about the love of reading or writing, or contracts. And what’s worse is that they are very clearly saying that “worship of the written word” is a characteristic/trait of white supremacy, not white supremacy. So you’re missing (it seems willfully at this point) the meaning of what they are saying.
If you asked any random person what worshiping the written word was
If you did that, you’d get a million different answers. And that’s why they defined it:
- honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.
they’d probably say “loving reading” or “loving writing” or something to that effect.
You’re just pulling this out of you ass.
It’s super obvious propaganda.
All you’re doing is making up a meaning that very clearly isn’t there, and then getting upset over your own made up meaning.
The actually way its worded:
Worship of the written word (one of nine core traits of white supremacy) = honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.
The way the article frames it:
white supremacy = love of reading and writing
Yall just can’t be honest about what others are saying.
