silvergoldsilver: Guest Post: Feinstein’s Illusion
Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.
Yesterday I had the privilege of reading an article outlining an attempt by Senator Feinstein to arouse the populous to push for tighter regulations on video game control in light of the revelation that the Sandy Hook shooter was a fan of Call of Duty. First of all, let me qualify why I used the word privilege, and also my stance on video games.
I use the word privilege because the outlandish remarks made by Feinstein further illuminate that I am not crazy in thinking that American politics is wholeheartedly misguided in its attempt to regulate sovereign consciousness. I say this because video games are an artistic and immersive experience for the vast majority of users, and although there can be an argument made for violent content in many games, there are a BILLION other examples of actual human violence that occurred in the past that do not occur presently. Clearly there are some violent depictions of human mutilation and combat in many popular games, but these games are preferred by a large number of users, and so far there have been less than a dozen cases in human history of shootings that have an alleged relation to videogame usage. Blaming a school shooting on videogame usage is like blaming adolescent suicide on bullying: clearly it could be a contributing factor, but simply put, less than 1% of 1% of bullied children commit suicide. The same can be said for videogame usage.
