smh.

People advocating for “gun control” are inadvertently petitioning to exacerbate the problem they claim they want to eradicate. i used big words on purpose, left-wingers love big words.

now to the point.

Terrorists are going to terrorize. it doesn’t matter if you remove one instrument used to conduct terror. if you take away guns, they’ll use bombs; which are already illegal; or they’ll use legal items to make bombs. If it ain’t bombs, they gone start driving trucks into buildings. then yall wanna outlaw trucks?! Please take time to step away from all the pundits and the propaganda to fully analyze where these arguments are coming from and why. One inadvertent result of “gun-control” is that mass murders may become more violent and more deadly, as THESE KILLERS have to get more creative with their terrorism. taking away guns addresses the symptoms, not the cause(s) of these acts of violence, and it definitely doesn’t get rid of the killers. furthermore, taking away guns leads to a vulnerable and easily enslavable populous. history has taught me a healthy distrust of central government. if you have an alternative history, please share it. What’s more, guns won’t just cease to exist. People who want them will still be able to obtain them illegally. “Gun control” advocates are making yall mouthpieces for your own enslavement.

The cause(s) of these acts of violence are the unchecked degradations of our society; the pillaging of the wealth and resources of our communities by big corporate interests that use the government as a siphoning hose to extract the very life from our bodies. That was real poetic, but it’s all literal fact. Any misleading and distracting claim that this problem originates from any other source other than the greed of major banks and corporations, is a well-crafted and intentional seed of misinformation and misdirection. If the goal is “stop school shootings,” a better band-aid than “gun-control” is arming teachers and administrators and giving them firearm training. Here’s how we can lay full blame on the billionaires, but first, another point…

A friend of mine pointed out that the 2nd amendment was introduced to protect citizens from their government. Why are government officials advocating for something that completely assails and derails the constitution they swore to protect? Historically, has any government ever gone back and reduced its expanded powers after the times of crises that required them had passed? Again, please show me any alternative history that does, and i’ll show you an accomplice. Some say, “Just take away AR-15s!” but if you open that box, you sadly couldn’t pay anyone to close it back. Next, shotguns are used in the next mass shooting, there goes shotguns, then pistols, then bb-guns. This is where the enslavement is the inadvertent result of your foolish calls for “gun control”. Once central government is certain they won’t face much or any resistance, they’ll issue freedom-crushing decree after the next, effectively reducing your lake to a pond, then to a puddle, then to raindrop, until you’re completely dry. Vaccine passports will restrict your travel, as well as your access to public spaces. It’s just too slippery a slope for me to consider. And again, history has taught me a healthy distrust of central government. (for the record the US government is above reproach.) (Oh and by the way, the killers that no one addressed, that still got the guns illegally, are out killing people in their homes now. Thanks Gun-Control Advocates!!)

Now to the billionaires. Capitalism is the root of all woes in this society. It is a natural imbalancer. It incentivizes hoarding of resources, prioritizes profit over people, and blames the poor for the problems in society. Capitalism requires an unrealistic amount of self-sacrifice in that it perpetuates the idea that you’re only as worthy as what you’re able to produce. These ideas along with other capitalist ideology such as: “Make the money, don’t let it make you,” “In this country, you can be anything you wanna be. You just gotta work hard, obey the law,” & (the worst) “You better pay your taxes” are all neat little nursery rhymes of mental enslavement that lead you to believe your choices in this life are “work to death” or “just die”. Now add to that a violently erupting volcano of tech giant algorithms raining down like ash and acid on these young people. Ideas are scrambled, reality is blurred, minds are desensitized, and the “leaders” of this society have no aims to stop the documented, destructive dehumanization and cattling… of the people.

Mental health has blossomed exponentially into this universal health issue that we now seem to pass off like a headache; take 2 of these and sleep it off. But we know that this growing storm cloud of anxiety is a direct result of the bludgeoning digitization, microwavation, and electrification of our world. Who benefits most from all this capitalist opportunism? Is it you and i?? or is it the billionaires? who is most incentivized to keep this unhealthy organism alive and digesting? Bailout after bailout, the violent repression of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, and then bailout after bailout again, should go to show you, that they could fund and fix any and every issue we face as a nation, but the livelihoods and futures of the people are not considerations in the interests of corporate giants and the biggest banks in the world. period. Where does all this imaginary, digital, fiat money disappear to?

In a society that has been deliberately crafted to treat you like a resource as opposed to expand your access to resources, you’re going to have psycho-killers; because that dumb ish don’t make sense!! And the killers got sense enough to know that something ain’t sweet in the milk, but instead of throwing the milk out, they get a AR-15 and go off. I admire people that take the stance that they’re not going to run in this stupid, never-ending rat race. But killing people ain’t cool. Anyway, the billionaires, the new ones and the old ones, are directly responsible for the imbalance we experience which directly leads to deteriorated mental health, which leads to death.

Now tell me where a GUN was the problem in any of that. At what point do we examine and explore the conditions that led to these people committing these horrific acts; beyond using them as talking points, but going further to explore real-life solutions?

Eventually, as logic leads, blame must be placed on all of us. These killers are products of a society that we engage with and perpetuate. Taking guns away won’t stop these people from being disturbed and rightfully unsettled and unconformed to this greedy, predatory society. We need better institutions all around. Our “leaders” haven’t failed. They’re brilliantly succeeding at their plot to plunder and pillage the power and prosperity of the people; and to have you believe the blame belongs on inanimate objects. INANIMATE OBJECTS. They want you to believe the blame lies in the barrel, not in the individuals who led that HUMAN BEING to picking it up in the first place. Stop and think. Who benefits from you being unarmed?

The emphasis must be placed on creating new systems that better meet the needs of the people. Exiting poisonous systems and building more sustainable, equitable ones is the duty of all of us. When you become aware that you’ve been laying in feces, i hope the immediate action that you take is to stand up out of it. Our shining example was snuffed out in the 70s by COINTELPRO. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense taught self-sufficiency by establishing well over 50 different socialist, free community programs that addressed the needs of the black communities across the country. But that was before the internet. Modern times call for modern measures. What are the old and new problems we face as a community? The real ones? Not the media-concocted narratives that ultimately serve the interests of billionaire propagandists, but the real issues of chronic poverty, food insecurity, rising health costs, fewer career options, and an untapped and unguided youth… And knowing that these (and others) are the issues that create the conditions that lead to crime, how do we respond to these real issues with care, patience, and expedience?
