Naw, alot of the mass shooting is just empire violence, the individual thinking itself something elevated by virtue of being part of society, can no longer take insults/setbacks and goes on a rampage against the insulting other and its future.
Its all been there and it has been widespread, though not always in this shape and form.

The religousness of the US and its conservatives are not that rare either. Iran comes to mind.
- wahern 4y agoReligiosity in the U.S. used to be a source of tolerance and even liberalism. That's because though predominately Christian, the U.S. was diversely Christian, composed of denominations and sects that were previously and in some cases contemporaneously killing each other in Europe. I think it's a worthwhile reminder as it provides an example of two things: 1) religiosity is not synonymous with conservatism and balkanization, and 2) diversity is not synonymous with an inability to cooperate or share an identity.
