He's right that the guns don't actually do anything, tho.
If anything, they seem to make the populace more docile, not less, by increasing the risk of every escalation, so that everyone is terrified of kicking off an escalation.
Discussion
here in madeira, guns are used to shoot rabbits that destroy the crops of lettuce and cabbage, they are not a separate thing to food production
also, i thought you at some point lived in deuctschland
i walked through the western region, where you talk about having lived, very recently, or now, and saw very many deer running about, and hides for hunters to shoot them
why do the farmers shoot the deer?
you answer that question
I live in Germany, now. They have to shoot the deer because they shot the wolves.
But that's rifles for hunting.
Americans stockpile arsenals for Armageddon or something.
what is it in your mind that makes the idea of having weapons to kill things some kind of sin?
if you need computers for only counting your taxes then what about that eh?
oh, you have a computer, are you earning taxable income that we should know about?
how about go fuck yourself, i will use technology in my house hold, my CASTLE as i deem fit, and you, racketeer, eat lead?
It doesn't. I'm not a pacifist. I just note that it doesn't seem to make people more resistent to tyranny.
Because of game theory, I assume.
threat is a cost to the attacker
if it costs me the risk of getting my head blown off, i may consider it more economic to be peaceful
Yes, I'm saying it works the other way around, too. If my first move is to blow someone's head off, I may consider it more economic to be peaceful.
Guns make both sides more peaceful. 🤷♀️
tyranny has been sliding in like a creepy rapist to everyone nonstop everywhere they speak latinic languages for the last 150 years
Yeah. I'm saying that the American arsenals haven't stopped that because using them is too draconian.
It's just something I think about, sometimes.
Arsenals are useful in a violent war, but who wants to start a war?
More docile? How in the world do you come to that conclusion?
The portio of the population that is the most rowdy has the least guns. They have a lower emotional barrier to violence because they aren't shooting someone, they're just hitting cars and shouting and breaking glass.
Oh! I see what you mean. I wouldn't use the word docile, though.
Peaceful, is a better word, yes.
This is what I mean. The German lefties tend to have no guns, but news like this trickles in constantly and the politicians fear them.
The German right is incredibly calm and not at all of intimidating, even though they have all the guns.
