An initially low-inflation socialism is the most dangerous and efficient trap mankind has ever been able to conceive.
Completely, it gives a false sense of security that socialism is 'working'.
There are obvious socialists in the SN community as well.
One naive user said we need to socialize medicine and health care. That's what they said in Venezuela and Argentina. EU ignorance.

Thankfully those users are a minority. Wherever social networks tend to be slightly sophisticated, leftards numbers drop dramatically. It's too much for them. Obviously.

Too many SN users hate guns and therefore support gun control. Clearly they have never lived in Latin America.

I'm buying a gun and going to the range the second Milei passes the new laws on portation. We are at the absolute mercy of bandits, who are granted full impunity to steal and kill at whim. If you dare to denounce a criminal, you will be promptly charged for harassment. If you dare to defend yourself, you will be immediately imprisoned and obliged to pay "compensations" to the criminal. It has come to the point where criminals themselves deem a person "uneducated" if the person do not immediately subjugates when assaulted. Milei is set to raze all of that madness.
reply
Criminals target people who cannot defend themselves such as women and the elderly.
Criminals do not target people with guns because they don't want a fair fight. They want unfair situations where they have the advantage.

I haven't noticed this, but we do have many international stackers. Gun ownership is much less appreciated outside of America.

Now that you mention it, having a gun became a concern in Argentina for many reasons:
- You could not use it to defend yourself. Justice was to crush the hell out of anyone who dared to defend his life and family. Horrible stories of the unfortunate souls who had to commit the crime of defending themselves discouraged people.
- Since you couldn't use a gun to defend yourself, having one only served to make you a target for criminals, to which you had to hand the gun if attacked, because criminals are legally allowed to use them, as long as it's to commit a crime.
All in all, having a gun became so much riskier than not having one, which caused people to voluntarily hand them en masse to authorities.

Unfortunately, much of the US is going down the road you described. I won't live anywhere that criminalizes self defense and that eliminates quite a few states.
