The big deal is intentional homicides, which we have at a higher rate than most industrialized nations. The US used to have a rate comparable to slavic, post-eastern block countries but they’ve gotten worse and the US is catching up to Russia.

citation requested as I can’t find stats that back this up.

Similarly, US suicide rates.

similarly, see gun accessibility. our suicide success rate is so high because we provide one-way tickets anyone can get easily.

The US would solve the majority of its crime problem (based on harm: death, destruction, cost) by investigating and prosecuting white collar crime (and mandating businesses / government pay amble restitution to survivors)

this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. white collar crime isn’t violent crime involving death and destruction - don’t get me wrong, I think wage theft should be prosecuted at a higher rate than shoplifting, but your premise is all over the place.

Regarding petty crime (including intentional homicide) most of those would be solved with welfare programs and drug rehab.

no disagreement on that one. it would save us tons of money. But it wouldn’t help the for-profit industrial prison complex that keeps conservatives in power, so good luck with that.

There will still be serial killers, but they’ll be rare enough that we can write true-crime books about the handful in a given era.

who was talking about serial killers? they’re an aberration in the stats, speaking holistically. I didn’t bring this up.

Any person assisting in a coverup should be tried

for obstruction of justice and aiding a sex offender, sure.

treason is another thing. we save that for Tangerine Palpatine and his relationship with Darth Putin.

oof, a list of times you called re: pedos in gov correlated with their voting record would make a fantastic campaign ad for anyone primarying these fucks.

“representative fuckhead, I called your office on 1,2,4,5,7,8, 10 july etc., hoping to speak to you about your misguided defence of sex offenders in our government. You refused to speak to me. So I’m gonna vote for (opposition) instead.”

that’d be unffffff satisfying

how terrible the level of crime is

yeah it’s not nearly as bad as conservatives would have you believe. other than gun crimes, which obviously we’re leading the world in because… merica

wear a maid dress for my amusement.

when you see my hairy ass stuffed into a maid dress and claw your eyes out, it’ll be my amusement then. almost worth the dress…

hand it to a baby. it’s like the cursed weapon loophole.

All I’m saying is treat them like people instead of all of them being monsters.

I’m all for treating anyone with decency once they start acting like people, and not monsters. They’re not going to get a welcome by clinging to their racism and conspiracies.

yep. words are cheap, especially words from this crowd. If they want to show how they’ve changed, CHANGE. Become better people. Support your community, all of it, not just the white christian segment. Gather your cohort and make the world better, then come back and ask for forgiveness.

I do believe it is a tactic to keep voters while climate change escalates.

yup. pay no attention to our petrol-fueled base and the crumbling biosphere, nah, it’s them libs that are, uh, CONTROLLING THE WEATHER, yeah, yeah…

could you imagine the smoking ruin that would be mar-a-lago if libs could control storms? jfc

finally a decent reason to lose weight. longer life? pfft? have you seen this shit? and there’s no amount of weight I can lose to look better lol.

Geoengineering

I’d point out we’ve been geoengineering the atmosphere relentlessly for over 200 years, first with coal and then oil combustion. We’re living in an age of deliberate geoengineering, our children will have worse quality of life than any of us because of our short sighted and selfish ways.

It’s not the weather control bullshit these MORONS suspect, they’re literally leading the charge to do it to themselves and can’t be convinced that less pollution would be preferable.

I think we should pay for airfare by the pound. Honestly.

but I can imagine charlie cucked. it practically rhymes

one would think such a fail state should be only accessible after the user has bypassed and confirmed the action.

let’s be honest, do we trust boeing at this point?

we should deport him after he loses.

Never read about SK or China (just not familiar, not to say it doesn’t exist) doing this but Thailand went all in.

that is great

yeah that worked so well in 2024… fuck’s sake

I think that bad built bleach bond basic bitch is actually the victim, she’s the poster child for FAS. no eye brow ridge, soft features, tapioca brains… that level of crazy isn’t typical.
