  5. CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU YOU REJECT THE PREMISE THAT GUNS ARE IN ANY WAY SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE You excommunicate anyone you know who has a gun. As a SOCIETY and an individual, you say "I WILL NOT BEa FRIEDS with anyone who has a gun" because You cant have a gun, claim to be a “responsible gun owner” and not be complicit in the deaths of these children In the same way you cant own a blood diamond and not be complicit in child slavery. You cant own Nike sneakers made in a sweatshop in Indonesia and not be complicit in exploitation. If you are not actively fighting against an injustice as huge as the mass killing of children in America with guns, you are complicit in the killings. If you have a gun and claim to be a “responsible gun owner” you are NORMALISING the existence of guns in people's hands in America and that allows the situation to continue. And because it is SO normalised to you in America, you don't see this. Guns are an antisocial dangerous f-uk you to society and owning one [except for hunting] is an a-hole thing to do. Guns are like fascism. If you are not actively fighting fascism you are complicit in letting it take over the country. When a problem reaches a certain magnitude - passivity becomes participation in the problem. YOUR GOVERNMENT will do nothing - YOU have to. You have to start change at a personal level and say GUNS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE - FULL STOP As a nation you are the abused trauma bonded victims of the right wing and the gun lobby and like all victims - the abuser has NORMALISED THE ABUSE you have to say I WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT THIS AS NORMAL cos owning a gun is NOT f-king normal - it is deeply antisocial and dangerous.

  8.  @maxfastest  - I was born into a very impoverished family in the UK. We went to school in trash bags too poor to afford coats. I bought into all the BS that being a success was the only thing in life that mattered and if I achieved that I would be happy. In 2014 I was worth €6 million - but I wasn't happy and I was working 15 hours a day, I naturally assumed it was because I was not rich ENOUGH Then in that year I was mugged for my Rolex Daytona watch and suffered brain damage. 18 months later I was bankrupt and homeless. I got things together enough to get a small - completely empty apartment - 1 has 1 chair, 1 coffee table, a computer and my dog. 1 knife, 1 fork, 1 plate. At first I felt incredibly ashamed and embarrassed by my poverty, but as time end by I started to ENJOY the emptiness, enjoy the simplicity, I mean I was broke as hell, but I didnt hate it any longer. Things got a little easier when I published a book about my experiences and about $600 a month started to come in, this is in Bulgaria, so its more than $600 would buy you in the USA but bot not a lot. A shop assistant would earn that part time... I would never have given up the money because my brain was incapable of even entertaining the possibility that money was not the solution. I bought a Mercedes CL500 and it kept me happy for 3 months before I wanted a Bentley and then I was miserable for 6 months cos the Mercedes was not a Bentley - If I only had a Bentley I would be happy... Our minds are programmed from birth to believe that if we only had the next thing "we would be happy". Once you have your basic needs, no amount of "stuff" is going to make you happy once the novelty wears off - if a $140,000 Mercedes only makes you happy for 3 months - you are screwed... EDIT: The mistake poor people make is assuming they will get the same or more joy from buying an expensive thing as a rich person as they do now with anything as a poor person. The joy a poor person experiences at getting - say a new iPhone is immeasurable. And let them have their bit of joy. But a rich person can afford pretty much anything so nothing has meaning. Ferrari has worked this out - they won't just sell you a Ferrari new. You have to PROVE you are an enthusiast to buy one, you have to have owned a few 2nd hand Ferraris before they will sell you a new one. A rich person gets 1/10th the joy from a $140k Mercedes as a poor person gets from a new iPhone. In reality its like buying an apple to a rich person - so being rich is almost poitless.
