  • At least in the US, this is pretty ridiculous. We have more murder tools (AKA guns) than people. And considering the majority of them are loaded and unsecured, we obviously don’t care about safety and more guns isn’t something we seem to mind so…

    I think we can just print whatever the fuck we want on our 3D printers. The manufacturers of guns can seriously fuck off with this garbage legislation hidden under the guise of safety.















  • The Metoo movement didn’t even scratch the surface. Every single grown women I have had the privilege to talk to has been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. My wife, my mother, and now my daughters.

    The backlash from the Metoo movement has been insane. Cops, prosecutors, and judges have ensured that there will be no justice. The President is a damn child rapist for Christ’s sake. We are absolutely fucked when it comes to gender inequality.

    Still waiting for the Equal Rights Amendment to be ratified.




  • I think you are confusing propaganda from the US with numerous investigative reports by reputable journalists and organizations like Amnesty International.

    I trust independent reporters who can verify their sources. This is why I believe China has committed numerous human rights violations. They even self admit executing political prisoners.

    There really is no question about this and denial basically makes a person a useful idiot. I often see dischenfranchised US citizens looking to other fascist countries like Russia or China for answers. I think the song For What It’s Worth about sums it up, “nobody is right if everyone is wrong.”

    I am a social worker by trade and I have spent my life helping people. I have fought long and hard for dischenfranchised people’s rights at steps of my state’s capital building. I helped secured the right to gay marriage in Washington State by lobbying my representatives as just one example.

    I have been involved in local, state, and federal politics. I have conducted numerous letter writing campaigns that have resulted in political prisoners release. I have been a community organizer and I have gotten laws and policies passed in my city to protect people.

    There are so many good ideas out there it isn’t funny. There are numerous right ways to do anything and there are creative solutions we still have yet to think of.



  • But you will trust anything China says when it denies its long history of human rights abuses?

    Something doesn’t add up. I do appreciate your appeal to team human and I agree we can and should do better.

    I have studied human rights abuses for over three decades now. I can confidently say no nation except perhaps in ancient history can compare to the US levels of human destruction. If you count environmental destruction then no country in history can come close.
