Just one more bit of evidence that the American Empire is failing. Hard times ahead, I wish we could be preparing for them.

And it's worth pointing out, since some people forget, that there's more colors in the US than black and white, so blacks don't make up the entire other half.

Let's be fair, with the margins as close as they were there's a huge list of things you can point to as costing her the election.

The majority of people shot by the police in the US are white. Black people are vastly overrepresented compared to the portion of the population they represent, but they don't come close to a majority of victims. Stop getting your information from Tumblr.

It's easy to moralize when your life isn't on the line.

What about poverty rates and economic inequality? Social safety nets? Social divisions? Any chance any of those have any effect? The Swiss issue assault rifles to a large chunk of their populace and have (or had the last time I checked) lower homicide rates than Britain.

Yep. Racism has been redefined by the Left to include "power" you can't be racist if you don't have "power" which conveniently means that they can be as shitty as they want, then claim that they aren't racist because they don't have "power."

Do you think that the ONLY difference between the US and those other first world countries is gun ownership? Do you think that there's no other possible reason that there could be a difference in violence?

Exactly. And this is a very large portion of what 1984 was actually about. People focus on the other things, but the thought control was perhaps the most important and relevant part of it.

It's because he knows nothing of guns and just believes what the media says.

Basically. Like all things nationalism can go to far, but a greater regard for your tribe than a tribe on the other side of the world is healthy and natural.

We Shadowrun now.

A lot of things WORK, the real question is "is it the best option?"

Yep. Tradition is 90% of scheduling for office work these days.

They are. They have chosen to not go into STEM as much. The problem is that some people see that as a problem.
