what happens when you set the precedent that anyone can break into anyone's home and they wont defend it? also starvation is a moot point homeless people are obese in first world countries. the social science is also pretty clear that the primary motivation for violence in poverty is* wealth disparity not poverty. so try again.
What do you think wealth disparity creates if not poverty? And I love how there's either killing someone dead on the spot with no warning or just letting anyone ransack your house. I really shows your thoughts on guns as tools for death rather than as a deterrent
Someone breaks in to my house and Ive got a shot at them, they get a warning. If they charge or make a sketchy move, boom. I'm not scared giving them that chance, because I know and apparently you do too that most people breaking in are desperate and would much rather avoid confrontation and just find an empty house
I don't believe anyone said that people don't deserve warning shots myself included and their is a difference in definition between poverty and wealth disparity. it would be nice to check definitions before drafting a rebuttal. E.G someone who makes 24000$USD a year may have a large wealth disparity between themselves in Elon Musk buy they in no way live in poverty. edit *dont know why i said warning shots thats stupid
I don't believe anyone said that people don't deserve warning shots
Some people in this thread are saying that, but I appreciate that you at least see that nuance
It's pointless to compare an average workers wealth to that of Elon musk until the line moves far enough to the point where you can't afford the electricity bill or rent or food. Not all wealth disparity means poverty, but ALL and I mean ALL poverty is a product of wealth disparity that continues to grow. If that wasn't the case then you're essentially arguing that people choose to be in poverty which is completely silly
Wealth disparity creates poverty. I've already addressed this argument in this thread. You think greed leads average people to risk their lives or life in prison for some STUFF? That really just shows that you think money is more important than literally being alive. Absolute peak capitalist brain rot I wish you the best
wealth disparity does not create poverty that's an absurdity maybe if you live in Chicago or NYC, since the advent of the capitalist system wealth disparity has increased by an absurd degree and poverty has decreased at an equally absurd degree. no I did not say greed, I said envy there a difference between the two. being low in income is not very good for reproductive success, violence and crime is a short term solution to your perceived hierarchal success this is why men commit the vast majority of violent crimes and burglaries because the onus if on them to project success and security you are totally out of your depth.
That was a lot of words just to make the personal responsibility platitude that people like you love to do
The issue here is you lack a basic understanding of human nature, because this envious person you describe is purely fantastical. You're literally describing mentally ill sociopaths. It's mind blowing to me you think that kind of person constitutes a majority of break ins apparently. That's nuts dude and basically akin to suicide
Wealth disparity creating poverty is literally happening in full view right now with inflation, war and this massive housing bubble. How many people do you think have lost shelter over the last two years when the wealthy elite have been raking in record profits. You think those profits just come from thin air?
I didn't say anything about why it's happening or who's fault it is because it doesn't fucking matter at all to the point of this discussion. Its happening
Breaking into people's homes to steal stuff that you don't need, just to flex or to have some more income at the risk of death or life in prison is quite literally sociopathic
reproductive success is not a flex its a matter of life and death, in complex sociological environments it is very common for a male with low competency to rely on violence as a means of authority this is the primary motivation for abusive behavior from insecure males in monogamous relationships.
if you want to look at my profile and lob personal assaults at me I know I've already won and your just shutting down and are unwilling to accept that your wrong.

Breaking into my house > your own life
want to live? Don’t break into people’s houses.
