        Lol. No. They’re already set. Worry about the large number of minorities that have lost their 2A rights to an unjust legal system.

          and if everyone were rational professionals this world would be a much better and more predictable place.

          Unfortunately, as is OBVIOUS, the world is actually run and full of amateur hour irrational shits who just love things like 3d printed auto mods so they can spray a full mag in one dump, they don’t care who’s behind their target.

          And these dumbfucks are enabling them.

          And the idiots who shout “but that’s censorship!” don’t understand how censorship works, don’t understand that youtube is a private corporation that’s allowed to define it’s own rules.

              Mags aren’t that hard to make out of sheet metal from a hardware store,

              bwahahahahaaaa oh my, yes please, homebrew all your mags so I can hear the misfires from here

              Also, youtube isn’t going to maintain its monopoly forever. It’s enshittifying and peertube is waiting in the wings to pick up the slack. Then it really won’t be up to youtube anymore.

              Maybe then I’ll have to stop seeing the constant whining… Trying to make people unaware - lol wtf does that even mean? FORGET YOU SAW ME!

              No, not spreading the easy steps on their platform is NOT trying to make people unaware, it’s simply a decision not to further propagate illegal bullshit. god though, the linguistic knots you have to tie yourselves into

              none of your arguments convince me that youtube should have to carry the shit so we’re back to square one. ___

            In my experience, they tend to side with cops against minorities, but only to that extent. They tend to be the methy, gas-station-robber types who don’t get on well with cops.

              So like most Authoritarians then? They’re all for it until their side isn’t in charge anymore.

                Not quite. White supremacists also overlap with the whole “rebel” and “rugged individualist” and “prepper” mindsets. Which are fundamentally incompatible with central authority in any way.

                I guess you could really split white supremacists into two camps, the authoritarian and anti-authoritarian camps. You’ll find a lot of the latter in prison gangs, and a lot of the former among the police. The two don’t always get along, is my point. They both hate minorities, but they’re otherwise quite different.

              They are the cops. Look up just about every far-right protest in the past century and how they’re given a police escort to and from the site. How the cops look the other way when there is right wing started violence and there is grave injury or death. How white supremicist cops that kill face unpaid time off way more than jail time.

              These authoritarian right wingers are anti-authority to the point they want to exterminate all authority who keep them from violently suppressing anyone who doesn’t want to oppress others. And they have to intimidate, cheat, lie, appoint other crooked liars because they’ll never win the votes they need from a free electorate. The voting majority thinks they are wrong.

                    Like

                    You’re wrong, but also combative, clearly don’t care about the right answer and are looking for a fight

                    So, you know

                    Not worth my time

                    It’s all academic anyway. Making sure you know about the different types of white supremacist is not really important. So if you want to fight, fight someone else about something else.

          No, they arent. Theyre unhappy with the current authorities, but they simp hard for the authorities of the 50s and 60s, especially the southern authorities.

                    I’m saying you don’t have the context to understand. I do, but you’re not interested in listening, so whatever. It’s not a critically important issue. But from these conversations I can see I’m the only one here who actually grew up surrounded by white supremacists. The rest of y’all only have second or third hand info.

                    But again, it’s not a hill worth dying on so whatever.

              You do realize that “not liking the current government” and being anti authoritarian are two very different things.

                I know, and I meant it. Many of these guys are against any sort of authority. They don’t want to be in charge, they want chaos.

            Not in the traditional sense of the word. Say Joe is a white supremacist. He’s white and he’s poor. He believes that all whites are better than all minorities. However, Joe is also not in power, because other white people are in power, and Joe doesn’t like those other white people (though Joe prefers the powerful white people to any minorities). Joe will work with the powerful white people to keep minorities down, but otherwise his goals and believes are different than those of the powerful white people, and he resents them.

            Southern prisons are full of people like Joe. Joe has some power in everyday life over minorities, due to the racist society he lives in and supports. But it’s a big stretch to say Joe is in power. Cops, judges, and politicians are in power. Joe steals catalytic converters and sells meth.

            adjective

            favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom.

            being racist has absolutely nothing to do with being authoritarian.

      How is this relevant? They will still be able to watch YouTube videos about the topic like before, it’s just age restrictions for under 18

        It limits the accessibility of the information, meaning that both terrorists and freedom fighters will be less likely to find it. YouTube suppresses age restricted material, whether they claim to or not.

      I think the people who get up in arms over 3d printed guns forget that most people will never develop the skills or even have the prerequisite skills to make one anyways. It isn’t like you just plug in the printer, down load a file, and you have a gun. You need to learn alot of other things to actually make something functional. Things like ECM (electro chemical machining) is often necessary and a whole host of other skills.
