Wealth inequality will destroy America.
(lemmy.nz)
This cartoon from The Seattle Times illustrates how America's economic pizza is actually sliced per capita, highlighting the massive disparity between the Top 1%, the merely wealthy, the upper middle class, and the lower 50%.
How about a different kinda slicing?
Americans let children die in schools to gun violence for decades just so they can uphold the 2nd amendment which by definition doesn't even guarantee access to guns to common civilians, but hide in the corner when their way of life is being taken away from them day by day because "They have guns too and I'm a pussy".
The USA is 350 million fucking cowards, and they deserve what is happening.
…says someone who laments gun violence while encouraging gun violence.
Nothing they said advocated gun violence.
They might have meant a peaceful shutdown.
They said the population is cowed, to put it more nicely. They’re correct.
Obvious point being: lawful gun owners do not support gun violence.
If America actually had a civil war this person would write off everyone involved as “toxic and obsessed with violence.” I’ve dealt with folks like this before; they just want to differentiate themselves from Americans so that they can feel safe from what’s happening in America, and like it won’t happen to them. Really not too different from any other kind of victim blaming
It's easy for people like me to differentiate myself from other Americans, considering that I am not American.
Nice job homogenizing 350 million people. Every single one the same and deserving of ridicule. Sure.
