I'm equally skeptical of all explanations, but I am more inclined to suspect the government policy is just "never let a tragedy go to waste," rather than, "Let's create a tragedy." The government school system is broken, and it marginalizes people who don't fit its mold as it is. Add on the creation of a guaranteed victim disarmament zone, this kind of thing becomes less of a surprise, unfortunately.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
What we do have is public schools that serve as progressive socialist indoctrination camps. Not only do public schools ignore childrens' feelings and interests and treat interpersonal relationships as a superfluous obstacle to obedience, but they even encourage the sort of divisive group mentality that leads people to go insane and decide that it's ok to shoot up their classmates (or alternatively to eat tide pods for internet attention points).
It's both and that's the point we can't really determine which it is. Throughout history tragedies have been exploited for political gain and were suggested to be created. Then you have the regime change operations of the CIA which were carried out in various countries. So honestly, anything is possible.
I agree. I don't see why it is so difficult to believe that there are a small number of genuinely insane people, or people who just decide that the only point in life is to become (in)famous. I also don't see why it is so hard to believe that a lot of people genuinely believe in gun control as a way to address that. Even if you disagree with the reasoning, can't you see why some people will think that it is a good solution? I definitely know a lot of normal, everyday people who support at least some gun control. I feel like the explanation that people just genuinely support a view rather than it has to be a conspiracy makes a lot more sense. Even if you think it is a conspiracy, it would be more like the government just takes advantage of things in order to push whatever agenda.
I know why they think it's a good idea. Their minds were stunted by public school education, and the only solution they can imagine anymore is, "more government!"
