Late Stage Capitalism: Poverty is worse than anytime after slavery, wealthy people have never been wealthier, police brutality is at the highest since slavery, workers rights are trending back towards the second Industrial Revolution, politics recognizes corporations as people (thus robbing those who cannot compete with billions upon billions of dollars), civil rights are receding, basic necessities are becoming scarce, the environment itself is being poisoned for profit, etc.
Cult of fame coupled with crippling hopelessness caused by late stage capitalism.
And the 80s? ruling that guns were meant to be for self defense; up til then the 2nd amendment was not read that way

I really hate that this is used as though it means anything at all to most people. It’s not an argument by itself.
