RE: An example of someone who supports censorship and opposes civil rights
I don't think that is it at all. I think that they are mostly afraid of themselves. I think they think about shooting themselves or others and they think that if they had a gun that they would actually do it. Why else would anyone want to discard their right to buy a gun?
They feel that if they had a gun that they would do some gun violence because every time they have ever seen one, and they have seen thousand in movies TV and games, it is used as a plot element and will be used for some sort of violence by the end of the program. So they have been conditioned to associate guns with violence from childhood.
I think they think that they would suddenly snap if they had a gun.
Studies show that over 90% of people admit to having homicidal thoughts and that the other 10% is lying, those who oppose gun rights think that if they had a gun they would act on them.
But what we find is that almost no one suddenly snaps, mostly we find out that everyone knew the school shooter was crazy and going to shoot up the school well in advance but did nothing.
I suspect that's because Neo-Liberals are the crazy ones about to snap, desperately clinging to projection as a means of casting their demons into others, sailing as deeply into denial as possible, and therefore can't acknowledge there are crazy people, because deep down they'd have to admit it was them.
Indeed, stay tuned, turns out he is an internet censor! I am going to post our follow up exchange in a bit
Nailed it.
