The only way to solve mass shootings is a case by case root cause analysis of each shooting and what allowed it to happen.

Gangs being gangs, all of the shooters are likely already known to law enforcement. Increase budgets for anti-gang units, crack down on enforcement.

Lol. FUND THE POLICE!

This is just replacing one surface level analysis for another.

The answer is to actually address the root of the problems like poverty, lack of mental healthcare access/trust, and alienation. Not throw more money at the “right” cops.

ITT: omg how other people don’t see what I, a very smart and superior person who browses technology communities, have known for years

Genuinely, who doesn’t know/suspect this, do you know anyone? I don’t think it’s about superiority at all.

I don’t know literally anyone who doesn’t know or atleast expect this, even normies have the concepts of NSA/Big Brother spying on everything.

Literally even my tech illiterate parents know/suspect that you aren’t private anywhere.

Edit: and if you do know anyone who is ignorant to this…will they find this article/report and read it?

Only an AI would be held back by such artificial restraints…

Wow, I thought it was big before, but TikToks really gonna blow up now!

Humilis glaber foedus 😔

This is a negative of undocumented immigration though. They should be treated as people, not as cattle.

Americans would do the jobs, just not with those conditions and wages. Undocumented immigrants need to do anything they can. The owner is going to choose to pay the immigrant less and cut corners on safety or other costs 9/10 times.

It’s an inherent contradiction of capitalism, the same one which used to be solved by slavery and colonialism, the need for maximum profit.

Thats why the way to stop the harmful effects of undocumented immigration isn’t to crack down on immigrants, but to crack down on corporations and document the immigrants. (And to reduce push factors such as neo-colonialiam and imperialism in their home countries)

Tell that to the immigrants the Dems keep fearmongering about.

Vice President Harris and Governor Walz believe in tough, smart solutions to secure the border, keep communities safe, and reform our broken immigration system. As Attorney General of California, Vice President Harris went after international drug gangs, human traffickers and cartels that smuggled guns, drugs, and human beings across the U.S.-Mexico border. As Vice President, she supported the bipartisan border security bill, the strongest reform in decades. The legislation would have deployed more detection technology to intercept fentanyl and other drugs and added 1,500 border security agents to protect our border. After Donald Trump killed the border deal for his political gain, she and President Biden took action on their own — and now border crossings are at the lowest level in 4 years, their administration is seizing record amounts of fentanyl, and secured funding for the most significant increase in border agents in ten years. As President, she will bring back the bipartisan border security bill and sign it into law. At the same time, she knows that our immigration system is broken and needs comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.

How is this not complete “they’re bringing drugs over our border, some I assume are very fine people” rhetoric? But it’s worse, because now this is the position of the “leftist” party.

When the “leftist” party is right wing on immigration, the right has to seperate themselves somehow, so now the ratchet clicked and Trump’s calling for pogroms.

The “Republican Party of yesterday” was the fucking Moral Majority. The Democratic Party is absolutely nothing like the “Republican Party of yesterday.”

The Republican party of yesterday was the Republicans of yesterday who are now endorsing the Democrats, because the Democrats best represent their ideology, otherwise they would be endorsing someone else.

Argue it all you want, they aren’t secret leftist heroes.

Because the Dem party is the Republican party of yesterday, not of today.

In 2038+ when they are the ex Republicans and Democrats have “compromised” their way to the current Republican parties position, they’ll be there.

They’re just supporting the same right wing Republican policies they have supported all along, the Dems just represent that viewpoint now.

Because it’s one of the few issues that the Democratic party and Republican party both tout as a problem.

Do they have bombs in them?

How many users does IG have that are registered as under 18?

I’m 25 now, but I still always say I was born in the 80s out of habit…

It’s a good step, but it won’t fix things.

I used to find it utterly hilarious before I switched to Lemmy, how redditorshated twitterx and twitterx users, then would praise reddit and the reddit community lmfao.

Then you’re letting sentiment drive you rather than reason.

So you wouldn’t want the genocide to end if it came at the cost of someone killing themselves? Why?

Is the entire Palestinian population who are suffering a genocide worth less than a western life to you?

But I refuse to allow that someone’s opinion should be given more weight than mine just because they mutilate or kill themselves.

His opinion holds more weight than yours because he is right and you are attacking a martyr rather than focusing on the cause he was martyrd for.

Their mental disorder doesn’t confer moral superiority, it detracts from it.

Your insistence that they must be mentally ill/disorderd doesn’t negate moral superiority, it only further reveals your apologist mindset.

That’s unfortunate

It’s unfortunate that you would rather attack a man for the way he opposes a genocide than move on and oppose a genocide yourself.

You can’t support him because it would support his truth that we are all culpable, and you can’t face that reality.

And yes, it is America’s fault he has genocide on his conscience and felt compelled to go to such measures, he is a victim of America’s genocide. Was Hitler just suicidal in that bunker? Or do you recognize that external actions can influence such things in that case, and just choose to remain ignorant in this one?

Would you like me to be pro-suicide.

I would like you to be a sympathetic understanding human being opposed to genocide, who even if they don’t agree with this man’s actions themselves, recognizes the context they exist in and focuses towards the true goal of opposing a genocide, rather than attacking a righteous martyr.

But that’s a tall ask for Americans in the core of the genocidal imperialist project, unfortunately.

Damn you’re pathetic and evil.

That’s tame in comparison to the genocide he is protesting.

What’s nuts is you attacking the man who was killed by the US support for genocide, rather than continuing to attack the US genocide.

If you disagree with his form of protest against the genocide, fine, ignore it and go do your own form of protest.

What’s the point in criticizing him? Make yourself feel better?

Self immolation is a long standing form of protest.

What have you been doing to bring an end to this genocide, besides criticizing others who made the ultimate sacrifice of martyrdom?
