Not unique to America, unfortunately.

This guy literally isn’t even exaggerating.

underfunding, more like completeing defunding it. even in moderately ok areas school distracts lack funding or no significant effort has been made to help students other than shunting them to another class/school where it wont affect thier testing scores. the one simpsons episode kinda highlight this problem, they depend on a person high scores in order for funding, so they are willing to let things slide like cheating and cooking the books. they need thier cannon fodder for the military , the low wage workers , the person who will become a police officer that is willing to perpetuate the violence.

That is not the comparison that is useful in this context. The comparison that is useful is comparing the murder rate with other countries of similar economic status. And the US doesn’t compare favourably in that context.

The reality is, these people are afraid of their own shadow, are stupid as a rotting log, racist as fuck, and usually shoot themselves in the foot.

While this is true, this is a symptom of the underlying problem, which is intentional nation dividing “us against them” narrative by media (owned by the ruling class), lack of education.

Majority of gun deaths are from suicides 66+%. The next largest group is gang and drug related. The majority of the people you just called out, will never fire their gun…and those that do, will be shooting paper targets.

The reality is that our gun violence is from poverty, lack of education and a lack of safety nets.

That and the police kill usually 1k people on average a year via guns. So 1/40 of our gun deaths (including suicides) are from the police.

Yeah comparing it to the most destabilized parts of the world is also not very fair.

Compared to Europe, China and Canada the US is a shitshow.

It’s still really high though at #65/205, and about three times as high as any countries with similar economic development.

The US doesn’t track high compared to literal warzones and the poorest of developing nations, which is not really a comparison you should need to make just in order for your country to look good. Compared to other rich developed nations the US tracks very high.

Like the other guy pointed out, no, compared to warzones and developing countries the US isn’t at the top of the list. But compared to supposedly developed countries, formerly so-called “first world countries”? If the US wishes to identify as one, then yeah, it’s kinda murdery in comparison.

Key takeaways:

Age-adjusted firearm homicide rates in the US are 33 times greater than in Australia and 77 times greater than in Germany.


Gun violence accounts for over 8% of deaths in the US among those under age 20.


Age-adjusted rates of firearm homicide are highest in Washington, DC and lowest in New Hampshire.

You don’t think it’s even remotely fair for someone from a country with >77 times less murder to call the US “a bit murdery”?

we have significant more gun violence where gun control is prominent it works, you brought into the propaganda that low amounts of gun, or strong gun laws are worst off. the worst crimes is from stabbings mostly, or other forms of violence. we have a culture of using guns,. people literally obsessed about shooting other people often.
