This video was flagged as "Sensitive content" on Twitter so I decided to repost it here.

Did you make it? It’s p neat.
Someone else posted it, it was flag so I downloaded it. I wasn't able to find his account right now.
I’m offended. 😍
What’s the point of it?
Groovy
🤤
ah yes. a man of sophistication, wisdom & culture tweets on nostr with the sincere intent to “spread positivity” and encourage a peaceful society. 😂
I don't think guns, knives, and sticks are inherently bad; their impact depends on the person wielding them. One can use guns to protect their family but I understand it's a controversial issue I respect that.
plastic bags, frying pans & baseball bats are not inherently bad—it depends on the person wielding them. one can use a plastic bag to suffocate their enemy, but one understands that wouldn’t be the intent of a video of a floating plastic bag in the breeze.
if i wanted to juice people up and perpetuate a culture of violence-and-hatred-at-the-forefront-of-culture, i would instead post a video all about guns & their destructive force (because one always must be prepared to murder all the plenty of murderous people overrunning communities!)
I think your perspective is very US-centric and narrow. In our area, we see guns as symbols of protection; they save us from terrorists.
Apart from that, guns have a fascinating history. If you just start reading about the AK-47, it's a symbol of resistance in many countries. The entire history of wars, colonization, occupation, and expansion cannot be understood without comprehending the role of guns. Guns have shaped human civilizations.
I understand where you're coming from, guns are powerful weapons with great potential for harm, just like the internet and even Bitcoin.
it’s true…in violence-ridden cultures, one can easily see how violence begets violence.
so, it makes sense that there would be theories there about how guns & weapons of war evoke ideas about how they are “symbols of protection” and “resistance.”
it’s a rather dark existence & sad that you and your people must focus on threats & danger…and how guns make you feel better/good.
it will always be true that violence begets violence & hate begets hate. on nostr, you are certainly free to post whatever your heart desires.
