Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

I wouldn’t say that it’s completely unrelated, but that what they’re trying to say (violence is violence, regardless of the implement) is very, very, poorly worded or constructed. There’s very stupid arguments on both sides of the debate, and agree that too many pro-gun people aren’t very good at structuring their arguments. They’re basically engaging in the same reductivist BS as their opponents, hence “muh European knife/acid/bomb crime!”

Basically how the proletariat should be armed in order to defend themselves from the bourgeoisie and their agents. Given that the disadvantaged are overwhelmingly the victims of both shitty gun laws and gun violence, I can’t really blame them for wanting to be armed.

@Ebalosus  
I’m gonna need a citation that Dr. Marx conceived of the proletariat as millions of atomized individuals, not accountable to each other or to anyone else, and armed to the teeth to kill each other and everyone else.

@Ebalosus  
Ah. Well, I’m neither a Constitution fan nor a Communist, so you’ll have to come up with something better than an appeal to authority, I’m afraid.

Are Americans actually brain damaged? What’s so fucking hard about wearing a mask?

@Commune  
It’s tyranny, apparently.

@Commune  
It can be pretty annoying if you have a lot of facial hair.

@Vivace  
no, it’s muslim conversion, duh.

@Latecomer  
i think you can afford a little diconfirte when the alternative is death by plage.

@Commune  
Regular reminder that there are complete invalids doing the same everywhere else.

@Angrybrony  
Ah. Of course. Is it time for that Sharia law conspiracy again?

@Ebalosus  
Fantastic, very good.

@Commune  
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of grandmas and grandpas.

It might just be they feel it unnecessary. Its silly but after months of quarantine, even the masks become really constraining.

@jolliapplegirl  
I have both N95s and Mira bio-chemical protection masks. I wear one or the other when out, depends on the situation.

@MagpulPony  
Arent those for construction workers?

@jolliapplegirl  
Which one?

Also the second might be overkill. This ain’t Chernobyl

@MagpulPony  
First one

@jolliapplegirl  
With the 2nd wave, it’s definitely silly.

@jolliapplegirl  
Ah, the N95. It can be used for construction and often is, though they also do well to reduce the potential viral load of airborne particles. As for the Mira mask, it may not be Chernobyl, but come on, when else can you get away with wearing a gas mask in the market? Plus you have the bonus of being 100% guaranteed protected in it.

@Vivace  
Technically speaking, this is still the 1st wave. A rather grim fact all things considered.

@MagpulPony
 
Fair enough. I guess you might as well have some fun in these times.
 
 
@Vivace
 
It definitely is but its also annoying cause I’m sure it wouldn’t have been so bad if not for the protests. Le sigh~ Now I have to wait even longer before I can work again.

@MagpulPony  
yeah I heard it’s not bad but you’re still using external oxygen, and vulnerable from every other contact.
 
let’s get serious two minutes,  

@Patachu  
Just gotta use caution. With the Mira, both your breathing and eyes are protected. The most vulnerable spots.

@MagpulPony  
indeed, I always keep my sunglasses, better than nothing.
