Obviously, these things are much older but the wave which inspired Hitler and his minions originated in the US before spreading their ideas in Europe.

Eugenics were brought to Europe by Americans so nothing new here.

You are mixing up unrelated things. Politics is a circus but that doesn’t mean the Government can’t do certain things well.

True, it’s a very old trick, but it has been turned up to 11 with social media and 24/7 TV “news.”

It only makes sense if you’ve been brainwashed into believing the USA is at the edge of collapse. But not due to extreme capitalism profiting some very few, extremely wealthy individuals but because migrants and woke culture are somehow destroying the religious, conservative white majority.

It’s horrible but I’ve got to admire the brilliance of the ultra-wealthy of pitting most of us against each other while they accumulate more wealth than ever before at our expense.

So much information on everything available at our fingertips but I never imagined what social media would do to us. We are such easily manipulated monkey’s that with foresight it seems obvious they would exploit it for their own gain.

Better off burning more cash to pay cops overtime to clear a homeless camp. It’s not like the homeless can just come back. /s

German conspiracy wackos and American ones have a lot in common.

During COVID their bullshit ven diagram was a flat circle.

It’s complicated. They are three but they are one according to their dogma.

For me it’s a bullshit threshold: if you swallow this paradox, you’ll be ready to accept more.

Just like the “Nigerian prince scams”. Yes, they are obviously a scam to most of us. But to the few ignorant/naive people who don’t, they’re the victims worth pursuing by the scammers. We are not the audience.

That’s better but not that by much. A few years ago Germany raided some very rich and very well-armed wackos who wanted to bring back the Kaiserreich.

Sane Americans better go out and vote.

“Slip High!”

I’ve lived in the Caribbean. Well-off people lived in reinforced concrete buildings not in flood areas. Worst that usually happened is some broken window.

I’ll just add most (all?) revolvers have no manual safety other than a heavier and long double action pull on the trigger.

The recent Sig P 320 chosen by the US Army has variants with no manual safety and doesn’t have the trigger safety.

It still has internal safeties but there have been issues with accidental discharges with the earlier productions.

Have you read the article? The difference is how Glocks can easily adapted to fire full auto with an accessory.

Can others be adapted to full auto? Probably. But the adapters aren’t as easilyinstalled and commonly available.

By being a super popular gun for the reasons you mention and by being a relatively simple gun certainly helped it become the host of choice for such a modification.

One model of Glock being full auto from the factory probably set the blueprint for the illegal mod.

Switzerland doesn’t have the same sheet weight Brazil has.

And it probably doesn’t wants to ruffle big US tech companies with so many having their big European HQs in Zurich.

Yeah the “just given them X” is how they got into a mess botching executions.

Killing people realibly and quickly has been perfectly fixed for centuries but they want to make a barbaric act look civilized, clean, even clinical.

A guillotine would be cheaper, perfectly reliable, quick, painless, fittingly antiquated looking for an antiquated practice. But it makes a mess and conjures images of angry Frenchmen getting rid of the ruling elite.

I hope all Americans come one day to realize how horrible, ineffective and unnecessary state mandated executions are.

They take their Hippocratic Oat seriously thankfully.

And the Bible being a justification for state executions is such a horrible excuse.

We could justify all sorts of other wacky things with a messy collection of ancient tales.
