First it was the music, than the video games, now you’re trying to blame video streams?
How about the issue isn’t the fucking media landscape, it’s the family.
That's not what the commenter did at all. What he said is that the current social structure for kids is FUCKED and maybe we should be doing something about that. And yes, it should be the family's responsibility, but they're fucked too. This nation has no traditions to fall back on. It has GUNS. That's our thing. freedumb and guns. Social support? "that's gay" and this nation hates gay. Government support? "that's communism." We worship rich white people who for the most part represent violence against anyone who stands in their way. The environment is collapsing, but the people in charge lie to our faces about it. Nobody can afford to go to school, and the people who do are in life-long crippling debt. And these kids, who are raised by their screens and not their parents who are also so self-absorbed that they're trying to make a living as an influencer or whatever, see nothing but despair in their future. What are they going to do for a living when half the jobs are being taken by AI? Leave their suburban home and migrate to the fields to pick raspberries? Kids can't even read properly and their government is taking away what literal education they have. They don't interact in person anymore. It's all Discord and in-game voice. They have no connections anymore. School is the worst because all of the things schools had in previous generations are gone due to budget cuts and teachers who can't afford to do anything but the bare minimum. And even there, the quality of teachers has gone down since the pay is so low. They're not supported by the school board, because those people just want to bring back prayer in school or what the fuck ever pet HOA Karen project they got themselves elected for. Oh and now there's cops in every school terrorizing any child that acts out, regardless if it's maybe and autistic tic or just god forbid, a Bad Day. Living with all of this, being inundated with insanity online from all over the world, having no clue how they're going to navigate the psychosis that is living in the USA in this era, why not go out in a blaze of glory? Some of those shooters had their names remembered. Especially by this particular 13 year old who obsessed over said school shooters. It could be something to aspire to. Help take down this sick, cancer-ridden mockery of a modern society.
But sure, let your take be that they were blaming streaming videos.
I blame the mother. How the fuck do you let your 13 year old child have access to A gun, let alone that arsenal? Maybe a BB gun, or a locked up .22LR long gun to take to the range with a youth shooting group. This was a child that was raised by the Internet, and not parents.
That's too easy and doesn't waste nearly enough money.
Release the Epstein!
