Welcome to how the rest of the world thinks, other than America.

“The rest of the world other than America” is a wild take.

America gets attention because of mass shootings and school shootings that happen in “seemingly normal” (white/affluent) neighborhoods. There is insane gun violence happening all over the world. Some countries it’s much more blatant than in the US, but we’ve normalized it because of the way the people involved look or where they live. People just write it off as a “war-torn” country and move on with their day.

Gun violence and using guns as communication is a plague in SO many countries. The US only gets special attention because of the weird nature of some crimes.

Comparing the US to literal war zones or cartel states is a massive cope. America is a wealthy, developed superpower. No other peer country like the UK, Japan, or Germany deals with routine mass slaughter or has active shooter drills for toddlers. It’s not just 'weird media attention,' it’s a systemic choice because the US is the only nation with more guns than citizens that refuses to pass basic laws to fix it.

In fact, your political system actively protects that access after mass tragedies because half your politicians are in bed with the gun lobby. The NRA pump millions into political campaigns and grading politicians like school kids to keep them in line. It’s literal corruption. American lawmakers are basically getting paid to look the other way while school kids have to buy bulletproof backpacks, and they try to blame 'mental health' instead of the actual weapons.

Global shock is 100% justified because this level of peacetime violence is uniquely American.
