As shouldâve been obvious: it ainât just about the Catholics. Anywhere you have patriarchy and power, you will find abuse.

Overpriced like so much equipment for infants is. And itâs aimed at the people who donât need it - white people.
Imperialism turned inwards.
I was questioning the terminology, is all.
The violence within America is a reflection of the violence that America sends into the world. Youâll never stop one without stopping the other.
âȘNotice how, in the world outside the USA, the correlation between guns and mass shootings is weak to nonexistent?âŹ
âȘAlthough they certainly donât help, the guns are not the actual cause of American violence.
Both the guns and the violence are a symptom of the underlying causes: white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism and empire.
It wonât stop as long as humanity continues to blame it on whatever, instead of trying to actually find out what the problem is and treat it accordingly.
And the Patriarchy donât do that, do it?
The Dems are about to spend a month begging for money and screaming about how if you want gun control you must always Vote Blue No Matter Whoâąïž.
For the sake of completeness, however:
Unlike with mass shootings, the correlation between guns and death is consistently high.
Because most of the gun toll is due to suicides, accidents and domestic homicides, not public massacres. Both inside and outside the USA.
But itâs the frequency of the public massacres where the US is the real outlier, even though they still represent a very small fraction of the total death toll.
