Solution! Don't live in the USA! Your life will improve by several orders of magnitude by that fact alone.

Well (a) that's obviously not true in that moving to another country involves huge disruptions in terms of life, family, friends, community, economic opportunity

but (b) even if we just look at average quality of life statistics, I'm pretty sure that there are only a handful of countries on earth where you would expect the quality of life to improve just by moving there, most of which have strict immigration controls, and none of which are several orders of magnitude better.

i appreciate reflexive anti-Americanism, don't get me wrong, but it's still basically a first world country on a planet riven by deep economic inequality. pls don't be completely fucking stupid.

AYRT

It was reflexive snark LOL.

I figured but I'm just kind of sick of it all

grouching hard rn

>LOL

Go back to Reddit or tumblr

ahahaha what the fuck

Or anywhere on the internet but near meeeeeee

Do you live here? If you don't, please don't make jokes like this. You're not laughing with us, you're laughing at us, no matter how much you might try to pretend different.

Dear America:
The world is laughing at you. Whether it is your flailing at failing to protect your own citizenry from their own police or from other citizens, to how you propose further violence as a solution to that violence, or that tribble with a sack of skin under it that is going to be your next president (yeah, we're just gonna take it as read you'll "elect" the most lunatic version since you've tried to rig the voting so that fewer and fewer are able to vote), or even that you refuse to allow auto manufacturers to import vans because Europe wouldn't buy enough of your chickens 50 years ago. You are a joke. Go shoot someone and make yourself feel better.
Love
Rest of the World.
P.S. Get Well Soon.

What glorious country are you from?

Anywhere else even slightly wealthy.

I get the snark and I feel sorry for US citizens especially as there's so much rhetoric about how it's the ~awesomist freedomist place ever, but it would be more useful for them to agitate about getting rid of the freakin guns.

It would be more useful for people like you to stop pretending nobody in America is trying to (of those who can), talking about, and desperately hoping those who can will do something about getting rid of the guns, instead of snarking as if because it's still happening it's our fault and we all must be okay with it because we are deluded into thinking it can't be that bad because durr Amurrikka iz gr8 fuck yeah

You got that from what I said okay then

this exactly

like, let's just make fun of the American people because obviously they must all be 100% okay with the status quo, right?

Look, if a classroom of dead 5 year olds isn't going to at least create some stricter gun laws about who and where you can buy guns, nothing is. They've tried. Believe me, many people have tried. But the NRA has deep pockets.

This is, on some level, a democracy. At the end of the day, if you trace it deep enough, it has to be regarded as an indictment of the people and the republic.

Like, it's not like it's some inescapable condition decreed by God that the NRA would have insanely deep pockets and be able to use them to decide elections. It is a result of our choices and decisions. It didn't have to be the case that we would elect the kind of people who would appoint the kind of judges who would strip back restrictions on soft money and political spending. It didn't have to be that we would give into a climate of cultural warfare. All of these things are, ultimately, no one's fault but our own. Because this is at the end of the day a democracy.

First because there are so many out there. You outlaw guns--fine. These guns don't automatically explode. You can increase the penalty for gun crimes--good idea, actually--but that doesn't affect the sort of person who'd shoot up a movie theater or a school. That person usually doesn't plan on surviving.

Second, while more gun control is a good idea, "getting rid of the guns" is a bad one. Look at the US government. Do you really think it's a good idea for this government to have a monopoly on guns? Do you think that would somehow solve all these social problems?
