How fricking dishonest can you be? And people like the tweeter still eat it up.
Even Politifact essentially says Moms Demand Action is lying. Heck, even Moms Demand Action basically admits they're lying.
But, let's say for the sake of argument they weren't lying, and the book was banned from school libraries. So are guns! The whole thing is such a braindead argument it's hard to even grasp. Even if schools banned it, it's not "banned in America," the school just won't lend you the book. I'm assuming they also won't lend you an AR. The whole thing is retarded no matter how you slice it.
And it has no relevance to the gun debate, but it is funny that the book has also been banned in a school for sexism. It's just the stupid cherry on top of the retard pie.
Nietzsche's slave mentality on full display here. The left can't reconcile the perfectly coherent set of principles that underlie the fundamental concept that your safety is your own responsibility, and that you shouldn't be able to force the responsibility on others to try to make you feel safe.
You don't get to tell other people what they have to wear on their face or put in their body because you're afraid of a virus. You don't get to tell other people they can't have guns because you're afraid of guns. You do get to own guns so that you can protect yourself and your family from things that threaten them.
Outsourcing the responsibility for your safety to the government not only amounts to surrendering your rights and freedoms, and forcing everyone else to give away their freedoms, but it also in the long run will make you objectively less safe. But the alternative is taking responsibility, and they just can't stand that.
Nietzsche was right on many things, which is why its a shame why everyone gets his philosophy so terribly wrong.
Its pretty telling that the people you find citing him most are edgy atheists and nihilists when he despised both atheism and nihilism.
"God is dead" was a lamentation, not an exhaltation.
The lines that follow "God is dead" in his writing, if anyone is interested in them and doesn't know them:
Exactly. At first I hated Nietzsche, because I didnt understand him.
His criticisms of Modernist Christianity are also spot on, though he didnt distinguish it from proper Christianity because proper Christianity was dead in Germany by that time.
Nailed it. Their main concern is negating their fear. And their fear of something (and they sure seem to be afraid of a lot) does not usurp my individual rights.
Freedom is inherently dangerous. Deal with it.
The bad takes are winning, though. The House just passed more restrictions.
Bleh. What did the fuckers do this time?
The US House of Representatives passed legislation that would, among other things, raise the minimum purchasing age of semi-automatic rifles and ban magazines with a capacity of over 15 rounds. The legislation is not expected to pass the Senate, however.
What a bunch of assholes.
Shall. Not. Be. Infringed.
in a better society, everyone who voted in favor of the obviously unconstitutional law would be dripping on the steps of capitol.
who "banned" little red riding hood?
Two schools in California 30 years ago or something. Never thought I'd unironically reference Politifact, but check the link in my other comment for more details.
The child behind the camera cupping the photographer's balls, which explains the girls' expressions?
Dare I say, based?
