Name a war started under Trump. Once you fail at that, try not to think of all the peace negotiations he mediated between countries.Very anti war ?
Yeah, it's not how I would phrase it. If all he meant by it was that you will never completely prevent all gun violence, it is an odd way to phrase it. Thanks for providing, it is enlightening!
Huh? Why, what am i missing?
I don't watch Asmondgold much, but where in that statement is he doing what you claimed? Thanks.
Super anecdotally, I support this just from my own experience. I voted Democrat across the board until around 10-12 years ago. My views haven't changed much, but the Dem party was veering in a direction that felt so bizarre and even evil at times.
I would actually make the same argument for the Republican party of 2025. I barely recognize it at all compared to 2000/2004 era. It has twisted/turned into something that is just unrecognizable to me, almost entirely.Super anecdotally, I support this just from my own experience.

This was basically me:
I'd call myself a centrist Republican these days.
People are allowed to say whatever they want, but if I was them I would refrain for one day from being contrarian pricks on the internet related to this subject. I would be particularly careful laughing about it online right after it happened(today) since lots of people are getting fired over this. This is common sense, just plain common sense to delay one's ghoulish behavior until it is no longer a danger to their livelihood, but even knowing this many cannot help themselves. Offended easily themselves yet they have no shame from their own offensive behavior. It isn't trolls. These are educators, newscasters, local representatives, game developers. How can they have become this hateful and cruel online? It is as if someone has removed the definition of what is right and wrong from their heads.
I was gonna give you it with the war part, but the peace negotiations? Like the complete bullshit between Ukraine and Russian? Fuck off.
I feel like I'm missing something here.
Thats what a lot of people did last fall. They changed votes. Its not like Trump changed. He's the same loud guy for 10 years talking about the same stuff and still calling people losers on Twitter. Only difference is he went on a tariff binge in 2025 after it was settled. But people actually preferred him this time over Dems, where he cruised to victory in a landslide of votes. He didnt change. But Dems did. Dems lost the election on themselves focusing on weird topics.
Just catching up.
There were two entire years of difference between both events, just so you know...
This specific developer was always based in the US, though? And it's not like any actual SIE person has made any similar remark.
I think anyone that is center-leaning on either side feels this way about their own party of choice. We are all lost souls with no place to call home with opinions that don't really belong anywhere. I can empathize.Super anecdotally, I support this just from my own experience. I voted Democrat across the board until around 10-12 years ago.

Great marketing. Did you read the replies?
Surprised you haven't heard about that quote. It's circulating like crazy. Main idea is that he believes gun deaths in the US are "unfortunately worth it" to keep gun rights intact, in that those gun rights lets American's preserve other rights. He doesn't believe that the lower gun related deaths in other continues is worth the loss of second amendment. People have been calling out the irony of him ending up as one of those gun deaths. School shootings are obviously under that umbrella of gun deaths, and the US makes up 76% of worldwide mass shootings.
This year there's been:
Because he had a dream worth striving for?
Really no excuse to celebrate anyone's death. But painting this man post mortem as some saint is wild.
It's fine. It's all part of the grieving process of a public personality.
I talk to plenty of people on various levels of discourse. Heck, most folks in my company are way to the right due to the industry where I woke, while I am what would be right of center even 20 years ago in US.
Sorry for your loss. I haven't experienced a (close) family member passing away yet and I honestly can't even imagine how I will process it.
Yep. Probably looking at a few million lives saved there just because the US has a real President for a change rather than a deep state puppet always looking to begin another war they can use to turn public $ into private $.
You would not feel comfortable unless swimming pools were rigorously regulated?
My biggest learning from it was: whenever it happens, do not refuse to confront it head on. Embrace it physically and emotionally. Without that, you will never let go. Beyond religion and spirituality, I truly understood the reason for a funeral. My relationship was complicated and we were estranged for years. But I had to face him, touch him, kiss him and dissolve his ashes. Without doing that, even though I'd forgiven him ages ago, I'd never have forgiven myself.
The British dude from iZombie?
We live in a culture that amplifies the ugly in everything, instead of the wholesome.
Why is it ironic? Sony owns half of these studio's. They should be pressed by Influencer people on twitter or the press and fire these idiots.
"Worth it" and "necessary" doesn't isn't much of a difference in this context. Both would mean that he believes gun rights for a percentage of gun deaths is a good trade. That makes school shootings a necessary sacrifice for the trade.
I was just saying it's ironic because you have the clown avatar and username lol (unrelated to this issue)
Wholeheartedly agree. Saddest thing in all of this is just how politicized everything has become. He had views opposed to many but please tell me, each and every one of you mocking his death, how many of you agree 100% on EVERYTHING with someone else? Name 1 fucking person whose beliefs 100% align with yours? Cause if they don't, are they open to getting shot?
This isn't (or shouldn't) be about guns. He could have been stabbed or clobbered. People get killed in car crashes on a daily basis but no one points the finger at them being responsible.
Demonizing him is wild, too, but that was happening while he was alive; it led to his assassination and, unfortunately, it hasn't stopped. I don't think he deserved to be murdered, so I probably wouldn't view opinions that are positive toward him as akin to canonization.
Yeah that is an insane comparison to make my god
Be a little more skeptical and dont take at face value everything what politicians say.

This was the link. It's a percentage taking into account economically developed countries with the highest rates of mass shootings. Even amongst the highest, the US makes up an insane proportion of both incidents and fatalities.
