Masturbatory fantasies of getting to kill someone with a gun, and then get praised for it

I’ve lived in cities in the US most of my life and I routinely forget to lock my door, I’ve never had anything happen. Nobody is desperate enough to go rooting through my dirty laundry, shoes, and old electronics for something of value.

It’s just suburban psychosis

I woke up from a nap to someone rooting through my shit in the living room in the middle of the day.

I think people like to fantasize about what they would do in certain scenarios, but the truth is you don’t really know. It felt so surreal that I actually just passed him and went to the bathroom.

When it dawned on me what was happening, I just asked him to leave. He just said he meant no harm and actually asked me if he could stay a while to get out of the rain.

I was like well I don’t know about that haha

The only time I’ve had someone do something like that it was my landlord, fucker was trying to show off my apartment while I was still living there

I was on the other end of this once. I was being shown an apartment and the tenant was clearly not expecting it (or just didn’t give a fuck, which I respect). I just cut it short and left because there were several other red flags anyway

Full disclosure I personally support an an armed proletariat. That said my favorite thing to ask home protection people is, “when is the last time you had your fire extinguisher tested?”

Its a free service offered by most fire departments. Far, far more children are killed by fires than roving packs of murderers. Guns are much more likely to be used for suicide or domestic violence. If you own a gun but not a fire extinguisher you don’t really care about protecting your family, you just want to kill someone

This made me realize that I didn’t even know where to look for a fire extinguisher because I’ve never noticed one in any store I’ve been to. Apparently they’re mostly available in some section of hardware stores that I haven’t been to often

Meanwhile there was a prominent booth for buying guns in every walmart near me until walmart stopped selling them altogether

Some grocery stores sell the smaller ones also. But yeah, Americans are super weird about safety. Taking a basic first aid course is going to help you save lives far better than shoving a pistol in your pants or learning krav maga

That’s another good one. If you’re bowling with your kids and a rogue firearms instructor starts shooting the place up and you know where the exit is, you might get your family out of there. If you pull out your piece and return fire there are now two unhinged idiots filling the air with lead

Wherever you go, always have a plan to evacuate everyone in the room

Don’t forget CO detectors as well. Carbon monoxide is sneaky, and a simple detector could save your life someday

An armed proletariat should probably take the form of an organized and coordinated militia, with everyone trained on how to use their weapons and checks on their health to ensure they’re able. Randomly strewn about weapons purchased on credit for anyone who shows up to a gun store seems bad.

Ideally, but under no pretext and all of that. I was mostly just stating that I didn’t support blanket gun bans though I have to admit I don’t really trust Americans with them

Additional pro tip: don’t just keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen. You need one in your bedroom, too (in the event there is a fire when you are asleep and you need an extinguisher to get out or get your kids).

They also make small extinguishers for your car. Though EV fires are nearly impossible to put out, so perhaps it’s not necessary anymore…

Someone should design a tactical fire extinguisher with picatinny rails and shit to get chuds to fantasize about putting out a fire with. Then they could just fetishize those and own like 40 of them and maybe actually do some good with their lives

Design a fire extinguisher that looks like a flamethrower and chuds would be all over that shit.

Sorta tangentially, many American suburban developments are arranged primarily to be as defensible as possible in a way that makes the people living there extremely paranoid. Suburbs often have one or two entrances / exits branching into one looping and some number of non-looping paths. As a result, there will almost never be anyone driving through the suburb without a deliberate reason to be there. Most often, it’s because they live there. Neighbors will quickly recognize each other’s cars and be able to identify each other’s comings and goings. Seeing an unexpected car (or any person of color as many of these spaces are entirely white) will immediately raise questions on the neighborhood snitch app or text group. Also, neighbors are constantly spying on each other because the structure of suburbia highly encourages it. This type of suburban design was created explicitly because of and for the purpose of racist paranoia.

Also people were compelled to root out secret “commies” hiding among them, as that was another thread of McCarthy era paranoia.

When you say commies do you mean black people?

Nextdoor.com and ring doorbells also enable techno-surveillance and maximum freakouts anytime a black guy walks through

I saw a documentary once about Americans who have a lot of guns, and there was one guy in it who kept loaded guns stashed all over his house so he’d “always be ready” if someone broke in. The interviewer didn’t bring up that he was probably also leaving weapons everywhere for the burglar to use against him, and I wonder if he’d ever even considered why that might be a bad idea.
