That quote isn’t about some utopian dream, it’s about reality. It’s like making a tough business decision: you don’t get to wave emotions around, you have to face cold, hard facts. What Charlie was saying is simple — in an ideal world, sure, no one would ever die from guns. But we don’t live in an ideal world. We live in a grey, complicated one.
People die from being punched. By hands. So should we cut off everyone’s hands? Or do we accept that keeping our hands is a necessity, even if some people use them to kill? Same with cars: people die in crashes every single day. Should we ban cars outright? Maybe in some sci-fi future we’ll have free energy, teleportation, whatever. But right now, cars are how society runs. That’s the reality we’re bound to.
So when people on Twitter or TikTok spout this kind of hollow, emotional grandstanding, it’s not just wrong — it’s lazy, disingenuous, and stupid. It’s ignorance dressed up as moral superiority. And worse, it’s driven by egotism. People aren’t making real arguments, they’re just chasing attention, feeding their vanity, and appealing to fellow retards who clap for anything that flatters their worldview.
This creates a maelstrom of chaos and stupidity. Logical fallacies repeated at scale drown out any possibility of real discourse, real understanding, or serious solutions. Instead of grappling with reality, we’ve got people flailing in ignorance, running on ego, and dragging society down with them.
And now we’ve hit critical mass. Retardation has spilled out of the abstract and into the material world. The ignorance, the egotism, the lazy fallacies — it’s all bleeding into how society actually functions. We’re seeing division, dysfunction, and collapse of basic discourse because people are literally too stupid to engage with reality. And their stupidity isn’t just a personal flaw anymore — it’s actively corroding the very systems that hold society together.
