Just read this news (only title tho) where a teenager murdered his sister over Christmas gifts.

I’m starting to think, as a land, USA is cursed. Every hour American military complex exports death all around the world. And these bullets and bombs are used by the literal evil mfers against weak victims.

The continuous death of innocent American children by psychos who have easy access to guns is an ironic and twisted equilibrium of fate against due to the greed of darker-than-charcoal-stone-heart Americans.

Nicholas Cage’s “Lord of war” sums it up.

And my sincere condolences to victims’ heartbroken families.

    Calling the USA “cursed” is abrogation of responsibility, because a curse is a third-party affliction.

    The USA’s situation is entirely a first-party affliction. It’s cultural insanity at work: gun worship, the belief that violence solves all problems, the clinical-grade paranoia over any kind of collective solution to anything, and, more recently, the worship of laissez-faire capitalism.

    There’s no curse. There’s a fundamentally broken culture and society. That is all.

    Yeah, cursed by a 2 party system with fascists on one side and right leaning capitalists on the other.

    Gun violence, misery, and poorly directed anger has ruled this country for some time now.

    That’s nice.

    Now do your research into weapons manufacturing and learn about all the countries that are involved in this particular industry. You will soon find it’s a global racket and isn’t just isolated to one nation.

    As an example, I use many brands of components that are produced by Nammo or other European companies in my own reloading room. (Berger, Vihtavuori, etc…) It just so happens I live in the US. Hell, even the “American” smokeless powders I use originate in Australia.

    That is just the tip of the iceberg, friend.

    Edit: Huh. Even CCI got sold of to a foreign company. CCI and Winchester make #41 primers mostly used in NATO 5.56 ammunition, btw. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vista_Outdoor#:~:text=Vista Outdoor Inc.,-Type&text=Vista Outdoor is the parent,%241.91 billion%2C pending regulatory approval.
