It's something I never thought about as a kid. How literally every corner of media (television, music, movies, video games, toys, etc) is always there to spread this message that guns are cool. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, anything involving guns is cool. But then once you've had a real gun in your face, and someone is counting down to kill you execution-style (happened to me in real life), you realize how not-cool guns are. It scars you for the rest of your life.
I don't know what the solution to guns are in America. I will say this because I don't see anyone talking about it. You can take a good person with a legal gun, and they can (god forbid) have brain trauma (car accident or something similiar). They will go on a rampage and hurt their family or strangers with no remorse (happens more than you think). I don't know how restrictive access to guns *should be*, but I also know that most people who have a gun right now don't need a gun. That applies to legal owners as well. The brain is insanely fragile, and when your brain goes, it doesn't matter how *good* you were. Also anyone who thinks being 18 automatically gives you the mental maturity to handle guns, is insane.
Gun nuts will furiously disagree with me. That's fine. Just know that the gun under your bed that protects you is the one that will destroy you if a child accesses it, or your brain degenerates.
Japan has around 10 gun deaths per year. Let that sink in.
Human beings are determined to destroy the oceans, determined to destroy the atmosphere, determined to repress and destroy the animal kingdom and all forests. There's over 500,000 pieces of space debris in space orbiting earth (we put there) that we can't ever remove. There are currently over 7.5 billion humans on planet earth, with us net-gaining a person every 14 seconds (people are born faster than they are dying). No matter what metric you use, humans are not only repressing each other, but every other system on this planet. To say the government or globalists or whatever you want to call it, are "repressing us" is an infantile theory. The system doesn't make us cattle - the system is only giving the cattle what they already want. If people weren't naturally cattle, and they wanted to "free will" their way to a better world, they've had millions of years to do so. But they didn't. Because people do not possess free will.
So that's why I say 1984 isn't impressive. It takes reality and reverses it. If language is being used to repress us, we democratically voted it in ourselves. We voted for 140-character twitter. We notified Facebook who our family was, and tagged everyone in the photos. We ate Mcdonalds when we didn't have to. We pushed 500k pieces of space debris into orbit because our ego was more important than clean outer space. We repress we.

It's not galactic cannibalism, but it's pretty good.
sweet.
Duno about you, I'd rather a clean, clear outer space than 500,000 pieces of space junk we can't remove.
I'm wrong tho, right? :)
