    It’s clearly not a “pro-gun” meme. The point it’s making is not “be pro-gun”. You’re being deliberately disingenuous

      It’s definitely pro gun. It’s showing children in the USSR learning how to use them and then says “school shootings: zero” making a comparison to USA. It shows the distinction that guns themselves may not be the problem regarding Americas school shooting epidemic.

      You gotta be pretty dense to not understand that lol.

        It’s typical campist shit. It’s not pro gun, it’s just “USSR good, America bad” propaganda as if we’re living in the fucking 60s. Which is par for the course for tankie rhetoric ofc.

          It’s pretty clearly pro-gun. Crying about it being “tankie rhetoric”, a famously pro-gun movement doesn’t really support your conclusion either.

        I thought it was being sarcastic as obviously there have been many mass shootings in Russia

              Only 4 of those happened in the USSR, which is what the post is talking about. The majority happened in the modern Russian federation, which isn’t what the post is talking about

                I’m going to go out on a limb here and say school shootings during the USSR era were far fewer across the entire planet. I’m not sure I understand what distinction you are trying to make about the validity of this meme.

                  I wasn’t. I was just correcting that while this post was discussing the USSR, you linked an article which only 4 out of 53 examples were relevant, the rest didn’t happen in the USSR. I wasn’t talking about the rest of the world.

              That list has 4 shootings that happened during USSR time, probably all done by psychos. Meanwhile, the USA will get 4 shootings in a week.

                  You realize the USSR stopped existing in 1991 right?

                  This is super embarrassing for you.

                    As long as we are being civil I think it’s prudent to point out that your douche nozzle is showing. That must be embarrassing for you.

                    Yeah that’s why I picked a later year to arbitrarily start counting from, what does it matter?

                    Edit: sorry, I think there’s been a miscommunication, I thought the conversation had veered towards comparing modern Russia to modern USA. Ideology built on our forebears and all.

                    Edit 2: I don’t appreciate the condescension though, you can correct me without being mean about it.
