Zero gun violence is not the goal. Reducing the amount of gun violence is the goal. If one instituted an efficient and convenient public transportation system taking half the cars off the road, road deaths would go down somewhat proportionally.

Since Antisemites, Antizionists, and Holocaust Revisionists were praising Charlie Kirk’s murder, I doubt that Joe Goebbels and company would have considered Kirk a martyr. See Armin Navabi’s video from my other thread on Charlie Kirk.

You completely missed the point there enco. I am saying that political martyry’s are a hallmark of aut…[Read more]

Robert,

Joe Goebbels and company had themselves some useful martyrs back in 1930s Germany. Maybe we will repurpose 9/11 as MAGA martyr day.

Fellow Unbelievers,

Here, Armin Navabi of Atheist Republic highlights the deranged people who are celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder.

All the worst from the Woke Left and the Woke Right, Islamists, Anti-Zionists, Antisemites, and people on BlueSky compiling a list of others to go after. Like I said, the collateral damage always goes beyond the…[Read more]

Unseen,

A free marketplace of ideas is inherently good. By, contrast, societies with stricter control over guns experience a lower rate of murder and assault because guns facilitate such violence, leaving people free to express their ideas.

I’m not sure where you’re going with that. Stop hinting and be explicit, please.

Wouldn’t you have to say communications technology should be at least as restricted as guns, if danger to lives is your concern.

Unseen,

I guess being antifascist has become a vile, nasty, evil thing.

No. Using the Antifascist label while doing Fascist deeds like murdering people for their viewpoints is the vile, evil, nasty thing.
