This place was way better before the exodus from reddit.

The evidence suggests that there is no trend in political ideology with Mass shooters. The majority of them are not right wing.
In fact the data collected only monitors political extremisum not nuanced affiliations of those politics whether they're right-leaning or left.
Again others in this thread have confirmed as much.
And once more i do not disagree with you in gun control.
The only the only thing you seem to not want to admit is that the primary issue is metal illness and the lack of mental health in the United States.
I am aware the American has the most mass shooting in the world. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove to me.
Turbo tax made 1.6 BILLION in income. And that's not enough. They need to lobby and change the landscape of the countries tax system to generate even more profit on top of the profit they already made.
This isn't capitalism anymore this is something else entirely. It's a metal disorder. A disease.
At no point did I defend maga. Even other people have told you this. You just asserted it randomly. You made an assumption out of the blue.
Evidence was presented to you that active shooters do not use politics as a primary motivator and the ones that have politics as a motivator aren't exclusively motivated by maga rhetoric.
The primary motivator is mental illness.
But here you are screaming at windmills about gun control. Like it's so simple all you have to do is make new laws provide adequate mental healthcare inact gun control nation wide and poof it'll all go away as long as whatever political party you don't like just shuts up.
Christ on a stick anything that opposes the bandwagon on lemmy and people like you crawl out of the woodwork. It's freaking exhausting. Go crawl back under whatever rock you came out of!
I loved both shows. IT crowd made me laugh harder making it the better show.
Young Sheldon on the other hand was very very good.
It is amazing to me how people believe their subjective experiences automatically qualify for criticism.
Thank you. I made my night! 😂😂
I didn't have an issue personally. But I apologize for the inconvenience?
Did you actually read anything I wrote?
I totally agree with everything you're saying here.
My original comment was that there isn't any common political thread between mass shooters.
And you're the one calling me a maga when I'm not. I hate the state of my country right now our politics are ass backwards.
I don't think he actually read my comment because I addressed everything he said. He basically regurgitated the facts I provided in my comment like they were his own.
I think he just wants to hit certain talking points i don't think hes actually reading any of the responses.
🤷
I donno man. Maybe do a Google search, heck ask chatgpt if you're super lazy.

But here you go. Sources.
Since I'm not lazy I'll just go ahead and tell you what the results of those sources are.
The extreme vast majority of mass shooters are white males are mentally ill, suicidal and are in a state of crisis days or hours before the shooting occurs.
Extremism plays a role in the shootings but not necessarily right wing extremism although in recent years there has been a small uptick in right wing extremist motivated shootings.
None of the sources good ones or bad ones link specifically magas to mass shootings although there have been Mass shooters that identified as such. There have also been plenty of mass shooters that identified as extremist left wing.
The LA times article goes into detail specifically about that.
I highly recommend you stop making assumptions about random people you comment to on the internet.
One day many many decades and centuries from now internet archaeologists are going to be looking at this exchange and you're going to come off as extremely ignorant.
What's more is that you don't give a crap about the mass shooters you just want Mass shooters to fit your world view which is apparently that all magas are bad which exemplifies your ignorance.
The walking dead. A good show with high production value I will admit.
But I found it to be souless morbid and honestly disgusting.
