I disagree. This is not the USA, this is Australia. After the 1999 Port Arthur Massacre in Australia (35 dead), the Aussies passed the National Firearms Agreement, which seriously limited private gun ownership in Australia. This included a mandatory buy back scheme. That evidences that the Aussies are capable of making serious legal changes in the wake of mass shootings. I'd argue the lack of American change in the wake of mass shooting is to do with distinct American cultural & political reasons. I heard somewhere that the shooters were able to attain these weapons as members of a shooting club (need to check this). If so, I imagine that the Aussie government will pass laws seriously restricting people's ability to get weapons for recreational reasons, i.e. hunting, shooting club. So, I'm confident things will change in Australia. -
Maybe might find this video interesting. He's a pick-up/ self-dev coach who had a fucked up childhood. I used to watch this video all the time when my life fell apart, was tormented and was on welfare. Most meaningful video on the internet to me. (I'd skip the ad at 2:00 - 3:15)

I'm not a psychology professional. I think you would find value in this book list though: https://davidtianphd.com/recommended-readings/

I don't think its a bad idea personally. Its good to be selective about who you let into your country. -
I play a FPS game called R6/ Siege. There's a conformity trend at the moment where lots of people comment 'Siege is dead'

Agreed!

I don't have much experience with working but I have an idea. But I am just theorising. Perhaps you could have a skill based day job, i.e. cybersecurity, which allows you to get better and better at it. Yes, it will lack because it is not your passion. However, it will be a job that lets you develop in skill and I believe some fulfilment comes from developing mastery in anything over time. This would beat out something like just working at a corner shop in many ways. Because at a corner shop you aren't really developing skills over time in the same way. Hope that can help out mate.

I've heard that one of the key reasons for Israel's radical current politics is the nature of the coalition government. That Netanyahu's power relies on keeping a far right sector of the coalition satisfied, and that this moves his position much more to the right. I can't remember where I learnt this perspective but was curious if you agree with this.

I haven't tried it myself. But Groundnews seems like a pretty cool idea to me

You make some insightful points but I think you downplay the severity of the threat he makes. -

Nice! I grew up in London, Uk. And I enjoyed going to restaurants run by people from different cultures too. -

Bro come on 😂 The bruddah said he was gonna chop his head off 😂 --- Fair point about the molesting dude though. Stage reds be everywhere. Instead, i'd argue there are numerous societies where the dominant culture is less developed than in western democracies, i.e. much more stage red, blue, purple etc. So, i'd argue that disproves your argument that other cultures are just as civilised. -

Its not only about racism, its also about reasonable fears about what type of characters share your community. I'm sure you will agree that it is very important how citizens are socialised from birth, i.e. what they are taught is right or wrong, whether to respect those different to oneself. The issue with immigration is you are letting people into your country who you haven't had a chance to mold into the type of citizen you want. And that opens up the risk of letting in poorly socialised people into your country and that causing problems.
