RE: An example of someone who supports censorship and opposes civil rights
I am afraid that one cannot win this discussion with reason. The majority of people is already so dumbed down that they are easy prey for manipulation, specially if children are involved. Emotions are being used to shut down logic and independent critical thinking.
As in so many other pressing topics today, facts don't matter anymore. The result of 3 generations of fluoridation and social engineering.
that and several generations of tv and movie viewers who are conditioned to think that guns will be a plot element every single time one is shown.
One can't win a discussion with unreasonable people, so there's no point in trying. There are reasonable people out there who do consider things, and who will be swayed by reason and facts.
That's as may be, but doesn't affect whether we should just give up. We shouldn't. We should look to use that, if we can, for good, rather than letting it be used for evil. @funbobby51 makes a very good point when he talks about peoples' exposure to firearms.
TV has replaced actual society in many peoples lives. They live in a world populated by fictional characters, sophomoric scripts, and cross-dressing Kardashians. Their exposure to firearms, rather than at a campfire with friends and family while hunting as kids, is from murder porn on TV, and every firearm on TV is used to do evil.
They have been indoctrinated by decades of propaganda, flouridated, and brainwashed into thinking that being a thrall is a good thing.
That isn't genetic. It's what they're taught.
They prove thereby that they're teachable.
@funbobby51 is teaching them.
I'm good with that.
We should do more of it.
Yes of course. We owe it to ourselves to keep trying and do what we can. But if you observe how many gladly demonstrate for the removal of their rights, it get's overwhelming sometimes. Feels like driving on the freeway in the wrong direction...
