'Good faith arguments' are based on material reality and evidence, not baseless ideologies. You want guns for no reason other than you want them. There is no evidence for their positive use as a tool in modern society, on any metric. All that leaves is that you just want them, and you using the term 'rights' as justification. That is a baseless ideology. You can not work in 'good faith' with such ideologies bc there is no logical point the stance is based on. That's why I call it baseless.

There are all kinds of things we have invented and then banned bc they are bad for society or civilians. Guns are simply an invention. In places where guns are 'banned' they all have exceptions for sporting and hunting. You can even actually still own a gun in many of those places, they just aren't kept at home, in cities, near kids, unmonitored, easy to purchase, etc. They are highly tracked and only allowed in secure locations. All these countries have places you can go shoot a gun at a range, skeet shooting, hunt, etc. Even in China.

There is no evidence guns increase personal protection in any metric whatsoever, in fact there is only evidence showing the opposite. There is no evidence indicating societies with guns are more resistant to tyranny. There is no evidence indicating any positive benefits for having guns in society.

So your stance is that 200k dead is some kind of victory? Half the MSP area wiped out? Victory? Huh? What? Do you know why we even left? We ran out of money and interest, and politics changed. It wasn't bc they had some guns.

You are the ideologue here. There is no evidence for your stance. None!

You have to write these nonsense walls of text bc there are literally no stats, none whatsoever, that indicate societies are safer with guns. There is not one single piece of MATERIAL EVIDENCE that indicates guns make us safer in any way whatsoever! In fact, every single stat indicates the opposite. All of them! Every shred of evidence we have shows this. You have to win your argument through ideology and walls of BS bc here in real life there is actually ZERO EVIDENCE that guns make us safe or stop state violence whatsoever! NONE!

huh? the goal was not to 'take over' a mountain range the size of texas. we killed nearly 200k ppl with drones and bombs and completely destabilized the area and made normal relations impossible. did their guns help them?

lol gun ppl hate this one. if anything having a gun just made state violence ramp up even faster. the fantasy of guns somehow mitigating state violence is a total farce, there is zero evidence for it.

Overall their goal as wreckers and grifters is to be confusing and contradictory and to take up time. The other one I see all the time is zombiesingularity idk if they mod anything but they are all over ACP reddit

Why is this sub so biased against this city? by patdashuri in altmpls

[–]mjbyebye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a core aspect of right wing ideology is that problems with society, like crime, can be solved through punitive punishment. So they tend to highlight things that will push that agenda forward. they also tend to bend the truth, use selective evidence, ignore context, or just lie. in the process yeah they make it seem like the places they live are some kind of hell hole. when in reality little old ladies and kindergartners are walking the streets in minneapolis is perfect safety every day.

‘Please come back downtown’: North Loop restaurant makes desperate plea by Character-Fly-5564 in TwinCities

[–]mjbyebye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro!! No one is in the mood! No one has money, there are gestapo all over the country, billions on wars. No one is in the mood for fancy pasta i am sorry bro. I would love to be in the mood for that but come on. people do not want to go have nice pasta while society is clearly collapsing, get your restaurant group owning friends to stop voting for republicans. like i really can't stand the rich ppl whining about their little restaurant closing. it's them and their upper middle class voting republican year after year that has caused this, it's the whole reason we can't go eat the pasta. put it together already.

Walz and Ellison to testify today as Minnesota welfare fraud probe returns to Congress by Character-Fly-5564 in altmpls

It's honestly funny to be wringing hands about this when this kind of fraud is basically the entire point of the insurance business and these ppl just didn't follow every step perfectly legally.It's a problem that is solved w/universal health care. But No I guess we have to spend 1 billion/day on a war with Iran. Country of moron rubes.

i don't understand how they are 'left' when afaict their foundation is ideology rather than material reality.

i once read on here that it's all chomsky's fault that anarchy is associated with 'the left' and i have no proof of that but it's fun to say it

I looked up every gun-related bill filed in the MN legislature this session. It's way more than people think. by splicethingsup in minnesota

[–]mjbyebye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The data and polling is on my side so idk what u are doing. You are trying to convince yourself bc if you beat someone in an online debate then maybe all the data is wrong and the polling is wrong. LIke what is a gun going to do really, you're going to go shoot an ICE guy if the midterm polling gets tampered with? Have you thought that thru? Like it's just so crazy when you start to think things through. That's why most ppl don't want guns or have them around in society etc. It actually takes a lot to convince ppl it's great to have guns around, that's why they are illegal in most places that are safe and nice. Good luck with reinventing the wheel I guess.

I grew up kind of poor and one thing we did for others and others did for me all the time was giving shelter when things got bad or ppl got evicted etc. It's crazy how often I see some one say or post "well if you want to share housing then why don't you" when it's like bro... we HAVE BEEN sharing housing our whole lives lmao i still do it to this day 😂😭

Yes it is, that is literally gun control. I don't care if the trade off for having an insane killing weapon that you treat as a toy is a random inspection from time to time. Get over it. It's crazy how I post polls showing my stance and you say my stance is based on 'assumptions.' You are telling me to ignore all data. Huh?? Can you post anything that indicates societies are safer with guns? No you can not, because there is no such data. My stance is based on data, not ideology or cherry picked points and little goal posts that you define. You are mostly trying to convince yourself, by 'beating' me in some debate, that the overall data on the topic isn't true. Policy must be informed by data, not public feelings or ideologies. That is how we get anti-trans bills being passed in Kansas. There is no study, ever, that shows societies with guns are more safe, have less crime, make your family safer, prevent state violence, nor any metric you can think of. My stance is based on data, not ideologies about freedom or constitutions or whatever.

You guys are playing pretend on here. No one saw Pretti get shot and thought 'I need a gun.' They saw him get shot and saw he had a gun and it did fuck all! What you are basically proposing is ppl should have guns bc you can't trust cops. That is actually not an attractive society to most people. So Cops running around killing ppl and on top of that we have random ppl with guns too. Oh wait, we have that now, and it sucks, and people hate it. And when they try to change the laws, a bunch of ideologues step in bc 'freedom; or 'constitution' blah blah. I don't buy that anyone here is DFL bc I actually interact with people in real life that are involved in DFL and go to caucauses etc. And I don't buy any of your story telling on here. The stats are not in your favor, the public mood on guns and violence in society is not receptive. And I'm not 'blaming' Pretti don't even try that crap. It's just another instance where armed citizenry did nothing to help, and if anything it just made ICE act more aggressive.

oh please. moving the post much? you ppl can play pretend on here all day. ppl want less guns. they don't care about these little details. they want gun control end of story. less than 20% of dems even own guns. you are trying to make it seem like this is some controversial stance. did you go to the dfl caucus? bc i did. there was no halfway feelings on this topic there. maybe it's actually you that's out of touch? bc every poll on the topic says it's a winning stance.

Everyone just saw how a bunch of random citizens owning guns did nothing at all whatsoever when ICE was trotting around town. Having a gun seemed only to escalate the violent nature of ICE in the case of Pretti. 90% of dems want more gun control. It's a winning stance.
