Sure but for USA there is a page per year on Wikipedia.
Whataboutism about Europe will not resolve that situation?
Aren’t you getting stats for Uruguay? Vietnam? Dubai? Will that help To resolve the problem?
Cos it is always happening in USA and the response is always T&P
So saying it not a problem because you show some events across multiple centuries on one Wikipedia page for one continent doesn’t change the issue that the USA is facing on a daily basis. The meme is just a daily reminder.
I notice. Even on this forum many people seem to go “This is OUR problem! You euro’s have no idea what you’re talking about and we shouldn’t work together on resolving it” 😕
Uh, no. It’s nowhere near the same level of problem in other countries as it is here. Trying to “what about Europe” as a gotcha isn’t trying to solve the issue, it’s diminishing the reality that the USA has a fundamentally flawed issue around gun rights and fun control, and we pay for that problem with too many dead kids.
That’s … not what I was doing? Why read it in the worst way possible?
I’m saying: it’s untrue that everywhere else in the world is happy school time, that the problem is unique to the US.
People are people. If you want to understand the factors that drive a person to hurt their classmates, it’s even more useful to consider the whole of contexts in which that happens, instead of wrongly pretending it doesn’t happen in the rest of the world.
How does pretending this epidemic ISN’T unique to the US solve the problem?
Name any other country that has anywhere near the amount of shootings we have in a year. Fuck, name one that has a quarter or a tenth of what we have year after year.
Don’t let your misplaced pride in the US blind you to a very unique problem that we have.

How does the meme, or pretending it’s unique to the US, help to resolve the problem?
It is unique to the US. Other places have 2 or more orders of magnitude fewer shootings.
And knowing this does help you figure out how to solve the problem.

Hi, what is “T&P”?

Oh, of course. Thanks.
It’s unique to the US because we aren’t trying to mitigate.
