Yeah I was going to respond like this. Also Mangione is still an alleged murderer btw.

Dude I keep seeing all of you people bloviating this nonsense. It’s very easy to just tell people “oh yeah just go kill people and risk your life.” And then everyone applauds and upvotes. It’s not about “living in delusion” it’s about how genuinely difficult it is to tell people to just go to war. It’s easy to just armchair this and I keep seeing it all over Lemmy but dude I haven’t even made it a quarter of my life yet, and most of my true cognizant semi adult life has been absolute dogshit. And now suddenly people who don’t live here are telling me to just go die. That’s scary as hell man. I wish people would think before they just type this shit everywhere.

That doesn’t really refute the core point I’m trying to make, but also polearms never really “eclipsed” swords. Sure a spear is much easier for a less trained peasant to use but ultimately a spear or polearm is absolutely garbage against a trained opponent closer than the effective range of your weapon or on a large scale battle where you don’t have enough space to maneuver it. If anything crossbows and later guns would eclipsed swords because it’s very easy to train someone how to use those quickly, and they blew through armor.

Yeah fair point

Yes, but the creation of the sword was for killing people. They were a status symbol because of that. I’m sure when the next better tool comes along then guns will be the same thing.

Although I agree guns need to be regulated more and there’s too many of them I think your second paragraph is unfortunately unrealistic. Did swords have any purpose besides killing people? Also some guns are used for hunting. Humans go to war and will always create tools of killing I don’t think there’s any way of removing all of those tools because someone will find a way to have them and be at an advantage over others. I’m not sure you can ever convince society as a whole to say no to violence with tools.

I mean yeah we still talk about all the stuff Reagan has done

Time to put that data science degree to good use

I know for a fact that that money would go straight to the C suite so idgaf if my employer pays $27k or $50k. In fact if it was more expensive and the big dogs take pay cuts maybe more people will get mad about it since only billionaires get to have any influence over anything anyway

That’s crazy but also did everyone read the article? If I understand correctly most people are only paying about $7000 total which is still stupid but not as click bait

Yeah it annoying. It also makes no sense to me that a party that pushes independence from other countries wouldn’t want renewables. Like nah let’s just buy oil instead. I hope Canada does well yall are my escape plan.

Idk if he even has beliefs at this point pretty sure he just believes whatever his handlers / Fox News jam into his ears atp. Anything to have attention and grift some more.

Whaaaaaaat I thought it was good clean coal though!
