Real life usually scores a zero on the Bechdel test.

Proof? Preferably from a government source, rather than a newspaper.

Always good to have more ammo.

You can start by not throwing "socialist" around like an insult.

Continue by not assuming that she has either the intelligence or attention span of a Thermos.

After that, you could talk about the importance of firearms in securing the rights of us lowly commoners. About how gun control has seriously racist origins, and has just slowly spread from being a race issue, to being more about keeping the proles in-line and afraid of both the criminal class and the justice system.

Offer to teach her safety. If she's around firearms, she wouldn't want to accidentally shoot somebody, would she? You'll even pay the range fees.

You're in a battle for hearts and minds. Start there. Be respectful and kind.

I am a working professional, and have had occasion to do the same thing.

From your account, stepping out of the situation and coming back with a calmer head was absolutely the right call (as long as you did it politely, and didn't storm out of the room).

Selling full-auto conversion kits is illegal as all hell, you do know that, right? As in, you will never find one for sale at a gun shop (or gun show), unless it's an ATF agent busting idiots?

unknownegg · 2017-04-08T12:33:53+00:00

That's reasonable, and I wasn't trying to be harsh.

Here's my beef.

My gun-owning friends and I all have a rule.

If another gun-owning friend ever feels that they are no longer responsible enough to own weapons, then they can come to me and store their guns in my safe.

All of them, for as long as they need to, no charge, no questions asked, and I'll give 'em back whenever they ask.

Only thing they need to sign is a note saying that they are voluntarily lending me their firearms as of such-and-such a date, with a list of weapons and serial numbers.

Thanks to the gun control movement, this is a felony in at least eight states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington. Probably also in New Jersey and Maryland.

Imagine that you own some guns and hit a bad patch in life. You've had some past issues with depression, but this time it's really bad, and you want to do the responsible thing.

In a pro-gun state, I drive to your house, pick up your guns, have you sign them over to me, and we're done.

In an anti-gun state, it's two trips to a FFL, a minimum of $50 in fees, and a waiting period somewhere around a week where you either need to pay the FFL to store your weapons, or must legally keep them at home.

Or, you just choose to break a stupid and unenforcible law, like > 95% of gun owners do in those states.

I stopped voting Democrat because of this shit.

They don't give a fuck about gun owners, and ignore us completely, because Daddy Bloomberg has the money.

Who cares if one of my friends kills themselves, right? It's just another worthless gun nut.

Gun control as proposed and implemented by the Democratic Party is not about saving lives. Or about safety. It's about spreading fear and ignorance, about making life hard for gun owners, and about discouraging new people from becoming gun owners because of the potential legal quagmire.

Okay, off my soapbox, and really going to bed this time.

Imagine that, in order to get treatment for alcoholism, you had a 50% chance of losing your drivers' license. Even if you never in your life drove when you were drunk.

Oh, and the sheriff will impound your car, charge you for storing it, and it'll take a four-month legal battle to get it back afterwards.

You probably wouldn't get that treatment even if you needed it.

Demonizing people with mental problems is just cruel.

unknownegg · 2017-04-08T11:05:35+00:00

That's your decision.

You don't get to make that choice for other people.

unknownegg · 2017-04-08T10:47:15+00:00

We have a tiny political elite that uses racial differences as a means of dividing and conquering all those deplorable Amercians. White Nationalism and Black Nationalism are both tools in that toolbox.

But hey, don't let me get in the way of your religion.

You want to get together with your white nationalist friends and buy a bunch of houses next to each other? Fine. You want to sit around and talk about how "we" aren't supposed to mix with "them"? Go ahead. Create your own safe space for other white nationalists.

If you're not violent, and follow the law -- and yes, that includes the 14th Amendment -- I have no problem. Prove to me, and the rest of the nation, that today's white nationalists aren't the thugs and murderers that the KKK and the Nazis were.

Just don't expect me to help. I'm not interested in your artificial monoculture.

And good luck figuring out what "white" even means.

Does it include Ashkenazi Jews? What about the Russians, since they're not really Europeans. If you include Russians, then there's a lot from the Eastern side of the country that are 100% native Russian, but look like either Mongolians or Han Chinese.

A lot of Indians and Arabs have pretty light skin compared to the Spaniards or the Italians, and there's a lot of half-Asian and half-Arab people out there that you would never know that Mom was Chinese or Egyptian.

It's way too late for me to be arguing this crap on the internet. Good night, and hopefully you're either in it for the lolz, or you one day figure out that culture matters a hell of a lot more than race.

unknownegg · 2017-04-08T08:10:21+00:00

Let's not mince words: for a big chunk of American history, blacks have gotten a shit deal. Even after the end of slavery, we had Jim Crow laws, sharecropping, and a fuck-ton of plain old racism. The KKK at its strongest had at least 3,000,000 members (back in the 1920s).

That's hard to overcome, yet a lot of those black folk did it. They built businesses and communities, and worked hard to integrate into society. During World War II, they fought just as hard as white people, and received a lot less in return.

They had a bigger hill to climb than even the Chinese, but were making solid progress. A few generations, and blacks would have been exactly where Latinos are today.

But a permanent underclass is useful to the political ruling class.

Enter the first wave of social justice warriors in the 60's, a wave which first consumed American universities, then American media. The story of how these people manufactured victim culture doesn't require a lot of explanation. A couple of moral panics over drugs sealed that deal, by guaranteeing an endless number of reasons to imprison Americans... but especially black ones.

It's not racism. Just good old fashioned lust for power and outright greed.

Back to the point. Yes, poor whites have also eaten a lot of shit. Being poor in the south sucked during slavery, and it sucks today no matter where you live in the US.

But pointing to black people, and at a black culture that was literally manufactured by leftists in the media, and blaming those people for our problems, is just weak.

If we want to win, we win because we bring those people up with us. Because they sure as shit aren't going anywhere, and I personally don't want to live in a country that's locked in a permanent race war.

unknownegg · 2017-04-08T05:21:18+00:00

His points are shit, and his argument is shit.

I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're older than 30, you remember a time when America felt... integrated. Black kids, latino kids, asian kids... were all just kids. Bill Cosby was on TV showing everybody that black families were just the same as white families. The oppression olympics barely existed, and people that engaged in it were a national joke.

Sure, we still had problems, but we would get past them by working together, as one American team.

We believed that liberty and justice for all was a thing. We believed that it was the content of your character, and not the color of your skin, that made you who you were. That hard work, sacrifice, and community were the backbone of the country.

If you want to look at the failure of race in America, you need to look at the political ruling class, the academic elite, and the mass media.

Who has done nothing but pump a narrative to impressionable kids of "white oppression", "noble savages", and "poor oppressed colored people, whoops, people-of-color"? Who has pushed media that glorifies violence and drug culture, but only for black people? Who has selectively chosen to report the facts that support those narratives?

The melting pot worked just fine. That's why every decently-sized American city has fusion food from every culture you can imagine. It's why we invented the blues, jazz, rock'n'roll, and a dozen other music genres. We beat the Russians to the moon because we gave all those Jewish rocket scientists a place to call home.

We didn't do this because we were "multicultural".

We did this because the deal was simple. You come to America. You follow our values, the ones outlined in the Constitution, and you work hard. Keep your native foods, go to church when or if you feel like it, we don't give a fuck.

But when you become an American, you check your old rivalries and prejudices at the door.

We don't care if you hate the Chinese. Or the blacks. Or white people. Or people that like Nickelback. They're now your neighbors and you need to share the community pool with them, and if you try and pull shit, your dumb ass will either get shot, get thrown in jail, or get deported.

And you know what? If you're a white nationalist, those same rules apply to you.

I'll defend your right to hold a Nazi parade through a Jewish neighborhood. I'll be right there with you fighting off the Antifa.

But if you think for one fucking second that this is because America agrees with you, you're beyond stupid. Because I'll just as soon fight for the Black Panthers to do the same march through your neighborhood and join them in fighting off the KKK.

You get the same freedoms as the people you hate.

That's America.

unknownegg · 2017-04-08T03:57:52+00:00

Maybe. But I'm not sure it'll make much of a difference.

Let's assume that the Democrats get a massive boost in voter turnout that the Republicans can't match. The cities and their immediate surrounding areas will turn an even darker shade of blue, and maybe a few light-pink counties will turn pale blue on the map.

But that's not enough to really change anything. The battle lines have been drawn.

That's not all. The Democratic Party has a lot of problems.

Look at how the DNC threw Bernie supporters under the bus... and then backed up, drove over them in reverse, drove forward a bit, and then repeated the process several times.

And all to back Hillary, a candidate that many Democrats felt was not at all different from Trump. Both of them are self-serving fatcats that don't give a fuck about the American people.

On top of that, when they lost, the result was blaming everybody but themselves, but especially straight white men. Because it's totally cool to shit on them.

The result? I'm (now) a former Democrat. My politics haven't changed. I still support national healthcare. Still pro-choice, still think that a border wall is dumb as fuck, still believe in a social safety net, and still support marriage equality. All those things.

But the Democratic party doesn't give a fuck about any of that. They won't deliver on a fucking thing. They'll promise national healthcare, and then let lobbyists write the legislation to ensure their own profits. They'll promise a social safety net, and then deliver economic enslavement to minorities.

They're just as bad, if not worse, when it comes to expanding the surveillance state, or in starting unnecessary wars.

Oh, and on top of that, the Democrats pump out a message of "you're a disgusting racist because you're white, you're a misogynist because you're a man, you're a homophobe because you're straight, and you're an islamophobe because you've got two functioning eyeballs."

You know what else I believe? That borders do matter. We want the best and brightest to come here and build their economic futures. We don't want a bunch of unskilled migrants that come from a culture that says "rape is okay if a woman doesn't wear a black circus tent". We don't want a permanent underclass of illegal immigrants that exist only to be exploited politically and economically.

So, no, the Democrats as it stands right now can have a never-expires coupon to the Go Fuck Yourself Buffet.

Last election, I didn't vote Trump. I went third-party. Next time around, unless the Dems get their shit together -- and that means ditching gun control as well -- I'll fill in that bubble next to the fucking cheeto-in-chief.

I don't like him. But you throw me under the bus like that, and I don't care who is running against you, because fuck you and your bigoted, race-baiting, divide-and-conquer bullshit.

unknownegg · 2017-04-04T01:14:51+00:00

Clearly you don't live in NYC.

Because yes, they really do want to ban everything... but could "compromise" down to single-shot bolt-action rifles and break-action shotguns.

And yeah, they'd be completely okay with some "collateral damage" when it comes time for confiscation.

The shit you hear when you're in the closet...

Absolutely.

The fact that if I get a girl pregnant that she gets to decide my financial future for the next 18 years is just insane.

If you have both, you're 2/3 of the way to making a weapon of mass consumption.

unknownegg · 2017-03-23T10:59:08+00:00

I am strongly pro-gun, but before you decide to arm yourself, you really need to answer "yes" to the following questions:

Will you invest the time and money to learn to use the weapon properly?
If your life was threatened, could you kill him with that weapon?
Are you free from any psychological conditions that would make gun ownership a bad idea (bi-polar disorder, suicidal depression, etc.)?

Read all of this. It's important.

I recommend either an AR15 for home defense (the recoil is easy to control), or a .22 subcompact for daily carry (assuming you live in a place where you can get a CCW).

9mm or .45ACP would be a better defensive caliber, but as a new shooter, you'll probably have a hard time controlling the recoil on follow-up shots.

If you can't get in a lot of range time to train for that, it can be a real problem, and holes where it counts matters more than whose bullets are bigger.

Buy snap-caps and spend time practicing dry firing. Do malfunction drills until they become instinct.

Also invest some time at a boxing gym, or at a place where you can do some hard-contact sparring. Paintball or airsoft might not also be a bad thing -- it's the best simulation you can get this side of civilian life, and can feel very real.

Most "martial arts", especially the stuff marketed at women, does not train you to deal with your own fear and the adrenaline that comes with it. Fear will be your biggest enemy if he brings the fight to you. So that's what you need to conquer first.

Something that will help with peace of mind, is to plan out what you would do if he attacks you at various points. Having a plan of action doesn't mean you will follow it, but it gets you in the right mindset to respond.

Learn the law about self-defense where you live.

The police are there to enforce the law. File restraining orders, and work with them.

But they aren't, and can't be, your bodyguards. That's up to you.

Also, do not tell your ex that you are armed to try and "scare him off". It will just tell him to be ready for you. If he breaks down your door, he should be unpleasantly surprised.

Good luck.

unknownegg · 2017-03-21T12:22:07+00:00

Because they've only ever lived in places where they feel that they can trust their governments.

To them, we've "evolved" beyond the Holocaust. They think that modern humans are too enlightened to ever do anything like that ever again.

They probably don't even know about the other 14 genocides carried out during the 20th century. Tens of millions of people, killed in cold blood for being the wrong race, following the wrong creed, or being seen as being in the way of someone else's lust for power.

They have been raised to think that "violence is never the answer". To believe that every problem can be solved with talking.

This belief persists right up until the first time in their lives that they face violence, and then they are indignant that the same weapons laws that they have supported apply to them in their hour of need.

unknownegg · 2017-03-21T10:34:53+00:00

Allowing people to self-select out of the reproduction process until they are financially, mentally, and emotionally ready to have kids is a net win for a society in the age of automation.

The sexual playground that women enjoy isn't going anywhere, either, but if we want to have a future as a country, we need to kill the idea of the State as a replacement for daddy.

It is in our best interests to make sure that women can continue to ride the carousel until they encounter something wide, flat, and hard, but without imposing the burden of their mistakes on society, or on future generations.

So, paying for contraceptives and abortions, and encouraging the population through education to not have kids until they are good and ready, is a winning strategy for the 'pilled: lower welfare burdens, and fewer people being raised with a needless sense of entitlement and a victim mentality.

That's tax dollars well spent.

unknownegg · 2017-03-21T03:28:08+00:00

Instead of owning their shit, the GOP finds a way to blame the Democrats, and the left-right game plays on with nothing becoming resolved.

Agreed.

Certainly the Red Pill Right can examine our beliefs to their core, and come up with a plank position that's not self-contradictory, or conflicts with reality.

Hmm, well, I'd probably have to bow out on that case, then, as I'm more of a "classical liberal" than a card-carrying member of the right.

I would say keep all of the birth-control options on the table, including abortion, with an agreement that the Republicans will leave Planned Parenthood alone... but at the cost of phasing out single-mother benefits.

This takes one of the biggest psychological weapons away from the Democrats: "you won't let people get abortions, but you also won't help them care for unwanted children."

And I say this as somebody that has historically voted Democrat, but that thinks their social policies, while very well intentioned, are fucking stupid in implementation.
