  • go ahead and apply that same thought of yours to computers/Internet and the 1st amendment…you will argue against it.

    The Constitution is explicit in regards to the First Amendment, “Congress shall make no law…” This isn’t even remotely the case with the Second Amendment. There’s more truth to constitutionally allowing direct physical threats and defamation, which are considered not protected by the First Amendment, than there are magazine sizes, lmao.

    I think what trips up a lot of people, especially Americans, is the idea of something not being black and white. Just because the First Amendment talks about speech and the Second Amendment talks about guns doesn’t mean it’s a black and white, when you have this unfettered right to speech and guns. Something being in a gray area makes Americans very confused.

    Fun fact, all the pro-nuclear bullshit you hear is just regurgitated nuclear lobbying propaganda.

    The only reason nuclear has such a following is because people (almost always men) think they think they’re in the know. It’s unironically very typical of how the alt-right pipeline starts. People think they’re being given all this “truth” about nuclear and now they’re knowledgeable about stuff that other people aren’t aware of or that other people are believing the “mainstream” thought about. It also helps that nuclear followers see themselves as edgy. It’s a perfect rabbit hole for these people who are easily influenced to fall down.
