Antiwork

Well remember the Republicans think gun control is bad, so.

You can’t manufacture a gun for somebody else unless you’re a registered gun manufacturer. You can only make one for yourself. You can hypothetically sell/give a printed gun to someone if when you made it you didn’t intend on selling or distributing it, however many states require you to transfer that firearm via a dealer.

You would have to give/loan your cancer patient a 3d printer and maybe suggest a URL. They would have to construct the firearm themselves without help.

Illegal. But look into 80% lower receivers for more info.

We need some kind of large scale morally righteous social struggle. Perhaps, to use a turn of phrase, a jihad on health insurance.

Yeah, there might be some copycats, but I'm dubious. This reignited the healthcare and wealth gap conversation, but that's about it. Nothing meaningful will come from this in regards to our legislature taking action to help the lower and middle classes out.

This guy is likely to go to jail for a long time. Law enforcement spared no expense tracking him down, catching him within days even after making a relatively clean getaway after a fairly well executed plan. Not many people have nothing to lose and/or have no fear of those kinds of consequences.

In my opinion, until around 30% of our country is on the verge of starvation, unemployment, and/or homelessness, there won't be a mass movement that chooses to take forceful action. And even if that occurs, you can guarantee all the fancy police state surveillance they've put in place over the last 20-some-odd years will get dialed up to 11.

Posting on the internet is effectively just leafleting, but on a mass scale.

That's not nothing, but it's certainly not enough.

But we got legal weed!!111 until they decide to make it illegal and throw us in jail if we don't stay in line and keep working for our masters or a different nonsensical "because I say so" reason.

Mmm I wouldn't count them out.

He also had a sense of entitlement. Marginalized folks expect to be fucked over, so they're less likely to flip out and kill somebody when it happens to them.

There’s millions of people with the traumatic experience of dealing with healthcare companies, millions of people with guns, and maybe thousands with the skills to get in range of potential targets. But the center of a Venn diagram of all three would make for the next potential shooter.

We’re sitting on a tinder box. The working class is fuming at the cost of living, and even the better off and low end of the capitalist class (unbelievably I know) are suffering under our health care system. This guy is a class traitor. He could of been a capitalist, he was born to a capitalist family that owned multiple successful businesses he theoretically could of taken over. But his pain likely radicalized him towards a different path…

The wealth distribution right now in the US is almost the same as it was in France at that time

The French were starving to death in the streets in 1789. In the US, the average poor person is exponentially more likely to suffer from obesity, than to die from lack of food.

I wouldn't hold my breath for the American people to revolt like that--things are simply not nearly as bad in the US now as they were in France then, and it's ignorant to equivocate them like this.

Whoever took the original picture likely used a phone or camera to actually take a picture of a computer screen. I think I can see screen refresh artifacts in the image, too. It's mostly an illiterate computer user trend, or maybe someone in a hurry to capture a picture of someone else's screen.
