- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Yeah same here. There’s something else going on here. It’s not toys and video games. We had GI Joe, every action figure had a gun or rifle. We had fake guns in the toy aisles. They looked real af. That was totally normal.
I hate to say, but the one thing we didn’t have… was the internet 😕
Wealth disparity was better by like a factor of 10 back then.
Are we saying wealth disparity is a factor in these shootings?
Yes. More wealth means happier family units that spend more time together. Obviously it’s not 100%, but the statistical trend is there.
