How is US relevant in this discussion?
~~Because the US has humans inside it, despite what all the Eurocentric trash think.~~
I let my anger control me, shouldn't have said this.
I wasn't being eurocentric. I was being Asia-Africa-Australia-South America-Europe-Canada-Mexico-Central America-Caribbea centric. The only country where most of the right want to reduce gun safety is USA. We are talking in an international forum, so here international concepts count, not nation-specific. Typically in the world right-wingers are for safety and typically in the world the politics of the Democrat party count as right-wing.
When in a conversation not specific to USA it is not okay to speak as if everything was about USA. It is not okay to speak as if there was a left-wing party in US Congress or Senate and it is not okay to claim that the right wants more dangerous gun policies.
And here we're talking about something that takes place most prominently in UK and secondly in a bunch of other countries, but absolutely not in USA. USA has nothing to do with this, so don't be as insolent as you were.
(Also, for example Australia is not in Europe. Learn some geography.)
Despite what they think, we are human beings too over here. That's my point.
I don't care about the politics of nation vs nation.
I care about humanity's liberty as a whole.
Nations are shit. Because the only ones in power are typically the ones who want to be. And there's no one worse to hand power to, than one who craves it.
Despite what who think? I don't think there are people who think people in USA are not human beings. (Or if they are, they are less than one percent of the world population... Of course within 8 billion people you will find a proponent for any opinion...)
But yeah, since you care about humanity's liberty as a whole, you could maybe kindly stop undermining that goal by assuming that what is done by under 5% of the population on this planet is the standard that the remaining 95 % are following.
You're right. I shouldn't have responded in anger. My bad. I get frustrated when I feel like people are talking down to me simply because I'm a USian, and I let it get the better of me.
Beautifully said. I wish people on Internet could behave like you in this comment. Have a virtual hug, you are awesome! :)
