  Have you tried…not shooting people?
  
  If two people get shot in London or Paris, it’s massive news, and laws get changed.
  
  If ten people get shot in the US, we kinda just shake our heads, and yous do fuck all

    No argument on that point, we’re pretty docile through years of bread and circus, and complacency conditioning propaganda¹. George Floyd protests could have been the outrage and protesting in Paris over a cheese manufactured getting wrongly fined by the government, but here it took mandatory lockdowns with everyone out of work and ruin-of-civilization pandemic fears.
    
    I get it. Wish I could personally change it, but the most I can do is vote, and call and email my representatives. If everyone did that every issue, we’d have a different country. Unfortunately see point ¹

    In places like the UK, I assume people have home defense weapons in the form of knives, billy clubs, pepper spray, etc
