    I was in Brazil with my girlfriend at the time when Sandy Hook happened so I really wasn't aware of the scope of that incident until some time later when I actually looked into it. It was right around the time I was starting to get into crypto-fascism through libertarianism and sure enough I ended up thinking it was fake. For a long while I was convinced Adam Lanza wasn't a real person and body doubles and actors faked the shooting to start grabbing guns. This was for years, like 2013-2016-ish I was off the deep end into this shit. No surprise I was drinking heavy and dealing with a nasty break up with that girlfriend. But it still amazes me how chuds think these are false-flags to do government gun control. If people were okay with children dying in Sandy Hook, nothing will make them do gun control. Maybe a Maoist uprising or something could though.

      Yeah, exactly. Like - these people would rather convince themselves that Sandy Hook was staged than even consider the United States has bad gun laws.

          I mean I think it's both - guns are treated like a commodity or a cultural signifier rather than a tool for liberation. We also have laws that let people who should not own guns own them (think suicidal people or domestic abusers).

            Yeah, toxic culture mixed with toxic gun culture, all bad things in the general cesspool surrounding the 2nd A in this country.

                      There’s no reason to do this unless you believe it was an excuse to “take our guns and freedoms away.”

                      Maybe to further a general strategy of tension goal by escalating the school shooting epidemic to extremely young targets rather than the typical high schoolers? IDK just spitballing. That's as far as my imagination can take me without leaving my conception of reality. I don't buy the "take our guns away" motive either. I would think that the terrorist threats they create would be enough to keep people frightened though.

                      Edit: Oh shit. I just imagined another motive. This one is dark. What if the deaths were faked so that the children could be abducted into the pedophile network run by whoever the Deep State had succeed Jeffrey Epstein? :scared:
