The motion, put forward by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, would have reauthorized the Assault Weapons Ban, which first passed in 1994 and expired 10 years later. The US has recorded the highest number of mass shootings for the second year in a row.
That saying depends on the just world fallacy. Unfortunately, no, all things don’t necessarily pass.
I’ve got a saying for you that’s famously used to describe every moment in Russian history: “…then it got worse.”
It’s foolish to think things will just fix themselves. We’re hurtling full speed into climate apocalypse. Like you realize that isn’t just going to “pass” right?
US isn’t Russia. Nor is this something no one else has ever done. It’s basically an argument from nihilism to claim that commonly solved social problems are unsolvable or aren’t part of natural progress in society.
Climate doomerism is also a form of nihilism BTW, although it is off-topic.
