Ah yes, the American dream of being able to murder a threatening stranger.
Life is cheap in the Burger Reich.

Even people with private security and millions of dollars still fantasize about castle doctrine gun battles?
Just as the founding fathers intended
I have a hypothesis that burgerland's "everyone should own a gun and be ready to use it at the drop of a hat" culture was cultivated as part of the white yeoman farmer ideal so that the burger regime could offload as much of the genocide work as possible onto the average settler. I think you're more spot on than you intended.

This is not a theory really, if you look into Hitler's whole "generalplan ost" thing he planned to have nazi settlers set up farmsteads and do "defend their land" type shit. It all makes perfect sense ngl.
If I remember Settlers right, Sakai basically says that.
One of the best kind of leftist moments is when you come to a conclusion you think is original only to find out someone discovered it decades ago and put it better than you ever could.
The power of historical materialism.
Not really a hypothesis, just a description of history
That and to keep the slaves in line.
Drawing the blood of poor people is their obsession
I can hear the switches flipping in lib brains in order to support this.
They showed themselves to have no moral compasses when it comes to genocide. Their true colors are that they're weathervanes.
Their compasses are like in Pirates of the Caribbean, they just point to whatever they want most. Which, regrettably, is just The Status Quo...or perhaps Brunch if they haven't had one in a while
I love how Harris is starting out with every advantage a candidate could possibly have and systematically blowing it.
Trump too tbh. This election feels like both candidates are doing their damnedest to throw it for the other one because neither actually wants to be president right now lol.
I'm not out of my mind for believing that this would have been unthinkable in the Hillary or even Biden era, right?
Like this is just blatant blood-guzzling NRA chud pandering that would be completely relegated to Clinton body count and Dark Brandon type shit.
I did not expect Kamala to run to the right of Biden. I had zero expectations and I'm still let down
This would have been unthinkable in the Hillary or even Biden era, right?
I think so too. But Biden's like ancient history now. Libs must love Kamala's gun comment and think it's a "pragmatic" move by her to appeal to republicans and republicans in swing states in particular.
funny how they hated Bernie for his gun position and frequently brought it up to smear him.
not beating the cop allegations
Probably killed a dog with it
I assume the redditor who wrote the following is aware of actual leftist gun ownership. But I'm certain the average redditor sees "the other side" only thinks of liberals.
I think a lot of right wingers would be surprised to find out how many gun owners and enthusiasts there are on the other side.

The sheer fact that you Americans all talk about having the ability to end someone’s life on a whim like it’s a completely normal and expected ability for someone to have never ceases to blow my fucking mind.
Such casual discussion of shooting someone isn’t normal anywhere else in the Western world. It’s so normalised in your hyper-violent, paranoid, narcissistic culture that none of you realise that to the outside observer you all sound like psychopaths.

As someone who grew up in the US, I remember having a realization one day that I wasn't ever going to kill anyone. That killing someone was just not a realistic thing to expect to happen at some point. I was in my early 20s lol. This country so ingrains the expectation and necessity of violent interaction. Just a deeply psychopathic nation
Lmao, everyone talking about how fucked Americans are in the head and how pathetic their home defense wet dreams are is buried in downvotes
‘They’re Getting Shot,’ Kamala Harris Warns Home Intruders, Burglars, Litterbugs, Slow Walkers
FARMINGTON HILLS, MI—Discussing the Second Amendment with Oprah Winfrey at a Michigan town hall last night, Vice President Kamala Harris admitted she may have gotten too comfortable when she remarked that any home intruders, burglars, litterbugs, or slow walkers near her house could expect to be shot. “If somebody breaks into my house, knocks on my door to sell me something, or leaves their dog’s waste on my lawn, they’re getting shot,” the Democratic presidential nominee said in an attempt to bridge the gap with conservative gun owners in the swing state, drawing applause as she pantomimed looking through a rifle scope at the audience and then mimicked the sound of gunfire. “If you trespass onto my property or take my plate away from the table before I’m finished eating, I’m going to take you out, as is my right as an American citizen. Let this serve as a warning to anyone who steals my mail, runs down the airplane aisle to deboard before it’s their turn, or talks too loudly in a movie theater—these things upset me, and I’m not afraid to defend myself accordingly. Also goes for drivers who don’t signal, heavy mouth-breathers, or if I just don’t like your face. Boom.” Later in the interview, Harris drew a gun from inside her jacket and fired a warning shot into the air after someone in the audience answered a call on speakerphone.
I got got
Was wondering how the fuck is she getting away with this
Under the Amerikan Hegemony, prospective Warlords-in-chief bragged about their personal and political ability to brutalize individuals and nations. The imperial citizens, as a rule, would not find anything strange with these boasts. In fact, they would cheer them on.
Still trying to appeal to those mythical undecided republicans for some reason
It’s so obviously performative when they each have a battalion of secret service on security detail. If they pulled a gun out and started wandering the halls of their houses, they are more likely to cause a friendly fire incident than stop an intruder
