    All of this stems from decisions made by platforms in response to the growing repression by certain states against content deemed dangerous or violent. This mainly concerns the United States and Europe, where advocacy groups are bringing class action lawsuits in an attempt to hold these platforms responsible for society’s problems..

    Last in date in France, was for suicide.. Apparently, many young people who committed suicide had previously viewed content on TikTok related to suicide..

    So.. No.. Its nothing but generational.. Its some braindead explanation of the phenomenon..

    I think politicians are putting all this in place because it is easier to accuse internet platforms, which are only a reflection of society, of being the instigators of a situation they merely bring to light, rather than questioning the deeper underlying problems. Instead of addressing the root causes, the issue is approached backwards. This is because neoliberals are, at their core, merely idealists and have no concrete or material solutions to offer for these societal problems. They are barely even capable of identifying their causes in material terms.

    People don't do whatever they can to be as real as possible, they censor as much as they need to fit as many social medias as possible.

    The same competition that drove prices down is what drives censorship up. A single video is edited to obey as many social media guidelines as possible.

    A lot of us don’t “wish a motherfucker would” it’s that we are aware that most times we are the ones willing and able to get involved. I like sparring but in the moments I’ve had to use it I’m not psyched to jump in and get involved. Had a guy hop on my bus already raving and I didn’t think “Oh I wish he would” I thought “god I hope he settles down”.

    Also I am the kinda guy with a look that if I don’t do something people question why after lol

    This isn’t for random people that are carrying, it’s if someone is in close proximity and actively aiming a gun at you to shoot you. It’s incredibly difficult to fatally shoot a moving human, especially if they’re moving towards you. This is pretty common advice honestly. You’ll probably never be in that situation, but still.

    Lol they were being pretty sarcastic if you happened to miss it. But you're correct, it is indeed valid advice; speed and violence of action will often flip the odds and break the assailant's will to commit. I wouldn't recommend attempting this unless in close proximity, or the assailant is distracted or unaware of your presence yet, though.

    You sound like both of those things. No other reason why you would make such an obviously false statement unprompted.

    I heard many versions of this same “you just don’t get it” nonsense from former infantry in years of hand to hand combat training. Again though, if everyone trained reacted like this guy did, we’d have so many more examples of this. But we don’t, because they don’t. Makes sense too because most of the time, this would be a mistake, and even most infantrymen can recognize that.

    Right?

Imagine dying so some store owner (who's insured against this loss BTW) can save like 150 bucks. It's definitely not worth it. Glad he wasn't hurt, but man, what a massive risk.
