It could be argued that shooting your classmates is not that different from backstabbing your office colleguages in order to live out the american dream of coming out on top of everyone else; or at least that is what this guy does in https://eand.co/why-were-underestimating-american-collapse-be04d9e55235 https://eand.co/why-were-underestimating-american-collapse-b....
- fwn 8y agoWell, fair enough. The goal should be society mentally healthy enough so people don't want to hurt each other. I understand that people think about that as a technical problem (people hurt through weapons, therefore decrease availability - problem solved) however this is not solving the problem at all: You wouldn't want a society of violent people who just never got the chance to hurt others either. The technicality of decreasing the availability of weapons (which, as said, might as well be valid) feels so out of place in the article since the rest of it is actually about culture. It appears to me that the author points at a cultural problm and then interrupts everything to feature this US gun thing.
