Venting Calling All Suicidal Conservatives: We are getting MURDERED

[SchrodingerIsDed]

Sorry, not literally. I know, I know. I had your hopes up.

But I mean in this political game: https://sanctionedsuicide.site/threads/political-views-and-ctb.194350/

Assist us before they take away all our guns and we're unable to shoot ourselves!!!!!!!

The world would certainly be better if more conservatives would use their guns on themselves lol

Heeeeeeey, no hate speech buddy. We don't have to get political, we just have to win the political game. :)

But I'll do my part!

Hahaha I don't understand the game, but good luck. Thank you for doing your part.

I think we're fucked either way
Ah I see, I have partook in the game now. Sorry for my opposing views, I was once a conservative in a former life. No hate.

 

[SchrodingerIsDed]

No worries. We're all fucked. :)

So if you're conservative, you add 1 to the previous posters' number. If you're leftist or centrist, you subtract 1.

So if I am conservative, the game starts at 100.

So as a conservative, I post 101.

And the next person who sees it is leftist, they post 100.

5 leftists see it in a row, and they post:
101
102
103
104
105

A conservative sees the post, and they go back to 104.

You see? If the forum thread hits 0, the leftists win, and we lose our guns. Sad. :( But if we win and get to 200, everyone gets guns!

Your political opponents would probably say the same for you and i find both views untrue to say the least.
I'd say that people whose death would actually make world better are usually the ones who don't want to off themselves and that's aside form any political viewpoint because assholes are everywhere, Murica or not.
From what i experienced, most suicidal people are troubled but otherwise gentle souls who wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone beside themselves so offing them wouldn't improve world much.

That is true, and I'd probably agree with them thinking the world would be better off without me lol.

But yeah you make a good point. Realistically the people who would do the most good by ending their existence is the billionaires.

No worries. We're all fucked. :)

Thank you for explaining, I'm sorry to be helping the other side now

See, that's what we, bus riding enthusiasts usually have in common. Thinking that the world would be a better place without us but not so much when it comes to other suicidal people.

No worries. I was once leftist in a former life. No hate here either. :) We are all of us most of us just holding these ideals because we think it will make society a better place for the most people. And I think that's beautiful. We still agree probably on that. We just disagree on how to get there, and that's okay. :)

I absolutely agree with you. I wish more people on your side that I come in contact with were like you. As I tend to just get yelled at, family included. I'm sure many of your ideas for what will help society makes perfect sense

I'm left-leaning, but truly all this red/blue stuff is just to divide and conquer. Distractions for us to fight and blame each other while the top 1% gets richer and the poorer get poorer. What else can we do but unite with who we can, and find something to agree on or share a laugh about within a world full of conflict.

Aww thanks bud. :) It's a hard thing. That's why they say not to argue religion or politics usually, right. People just get really passionate, which hey, it just means they care. Which is good, it's just people are also tribal, because our instincts are 10,000 years old. Politics very much triggers the "us vs them" tribal mentality which is easy to get sucked into. Family might be desperate to keep you "on their side", as an instinct to enhance bonding. Which also means they care, both about you and society. If they didn't care, they wouldn't bother at all.

That sucks they yell at you though. Ironically the worst thing you could do is yell at someone to try to get them to see your side. Resorting to force when they can't use logic. That's why it's best to use the Socratic Method. You ask questions instead of making statements, because people just want to be heard and respected; and, if you make statements that contradict their statements, it can be super explosive.

By just asking them questions about their viewpoints, you can guide them gently towards contradicting themselves, which gets you both closer to the real truth, without anyone getting upset. Usually they'll run into a self-contradiction, then they'll reverse track or try to change topics, because they simply don't want to face the fact that their beliefs aren't 100% solid. But you also learn along the way, too. Being able to set aside the ego is super hard. I fail a lot at that, too.

Then people also have the tendency to demonize other people as well, esp if they are on the other "tribe"'s team, which can lead to a really toxic situation for all involved, even if both sides have fair points.

Likewise. I'm sure you have a lot of good points, too. :)

Aha. Could be, could be. Get us distracted from the real issues. They did the same thing with white supremacy. The British indentured servants and slaves teamed up together and started wars to end the ownership of people, and the rich people used the idea of "white supremacy" as a means to divide and conquer the white indentured servants and the black slaves to prevent them from teaming up again. Convince the whites they were "better than" the blacks, even though they were both living in similar conditions. Hell, they probably still encourage race division for the same reason. Good point.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. This post totally backfired on me. I have inadvertently assisted the lefties. QQ T_T Story of my life!

I actually hope I'm a lefty although, I could be nearer the middle. Anyhow though, conservatives voting in the UK won't get access to guns.

As a brit, I'm always curious about the US attitudes towards guns. Personally, I feel like liberal access to firearms naturally means an increase in gun crime, school shootings etc. I'm curious that people still seem to think it's worth risking that to have them. I just have a different mindset though. We aren't raised believing it's our right to own them. Of course, I'm envious when it comes to suicide!

Not to say the UK is better by any means. We have so much knife crime. In schools too. So, perhaps it solves nothing.

Well. Everyone has a gun, here. So it's threat level based too, right. What risks are you liable to encounter. If you're in a room and EVERYONE has a gun, I mean shit, you should probably be packing, right? Even if ideologically, on a societal scale, it would be better if no one had a gun, unfortunately that's just not the case. Peace means reloading your guns. For that reason even when I was a leftist, I always supported gun rights for Americans. I would not support gun rights in the U.K. If you live in Brazil or Chile too right, probably should have a gun. If you go to Afghanistan, first, don't be a woman, and second bring a gun. If you're going to Canada, meh, probably not. It's context based.

In the U.K., if someone is coming at you with a knife, well first thing is run, but if you can't, wouldn't it be better if you had a knife than if you didn't? You can call the cops, but there's a delay there.

I don't know about the U.K., but all the criminal elements flock here. Not to mention the huge wealth disparities, the ghettos, the drugs. Probably a good bit in the U.K., too, but I guess your government just does a better job of keeping them in line? Idk. But they are here. A lot of them.

Americans are also stubborn and demand their "rights", and yes that's a big part. The technical reason for the guns is so if the government steps out of line, we won't get tyrannized easily. That was where it all started, right, when you Brits came over across the pond and started fucking with the American Brits. That left a deep scar on the American psyche, and made Americans fear tyranny. So, we have guns as part of the 2nd amendment technically to be able to form militias in the event the government steps out of line and wants their damn our damn tea tax money again!. Also we switched to coffee, because of the trauma. :P
