    These are just some of my own thoughts but honestly, I think a big part of the reason murdering idiots like this shoot up random people or schoolchildren instead of anyone who at least could have had any influence on their life being shitty is because people in general are so alienated from each other and having any form of actual say in society.

    Under capitalism people are actively conditioned to not consider that things could ever be different and meaningfully reaching out to other people and organizing together might as well not even exist. Being limited to the things that are immediate to us and life becoming about the things we choose to consume and make personal to who we are. And being reduced to that illusion is absolutely how life under capitalism is meant to be, not just an accident.

    The biggest fucking assholes will then naturally choose to alleviate their feelings of inadequacy by hurting people they have personal access to in the form of physically/mentally abusing their family or if they lack the ability to even do that, to lash out at those people they see outside, fully immersed in the delusion that since you are lonely and you have no connection to them they must be the thing that’s keeping them down and alone.

    You see the same mindset in a far less pathological context when liberals fall for every single narrative of personal responsibility when it comes to climate change etc. and why they love to think being politically active is mostly about reading the news, feeling bad about them and then watching some late night show for catharsis.

    Like, so much of life in Western countries is the equivalent of someone locked in a cell smearing feces on a wall to retain at least the tiniest amount of control over their life. And this is the reality in the places that profited the most from this stupid system.

      Another major reason they go for Black churches, Walmarts, elementary schools, gay clubs, etc. is because many of them are fascists, and thus 1) cowardly and 2) are taught that these vulnerable groups are somehow responsible for their grievances. They never hit the white and rich (why not a Target instead of a Walmart? Why not a golf club, why never Ivy League schools or private charter schools?), and they never go after their target demographic in a place they would defend themselves (e.g. a poor Black neighborhood versus a church where the sanctity of safety is respected by most normal people).

      I really wish some of these people would take out their insecurities on Bilderberg, La Cerce, a CNN building, Wall Street, a think tank, the Pentagon, one of these doofus celebrity billionaires, an arms manufacturing CEO, like c’mon ya’all quit being losers be a HERO.

        Yeah. If one is suicidal and wants to go HAM in the end, maybe do something cool like pay Fox News a visit.
