🥱
Reducing the disparity in wealth has a direct impact on the amount of people who want to lash out at society by killing indiscriminately.
Give people reasons to live so they don't make up reasons to kill.
Unfortunately, liberals and conservatives love to unite on greed because they're both in on it.
My dude I don’t think the six year old that shot her was economically anxious
My point still stands.
🥱 Does it?
The parents were though
Is this true?
What data are you using to back this claim? Most school shooters seem to come from middle class to rather affluent families. How do you guys manage to pivot every thing to class warfare?
I was walking down the street and I stubbed my toe: "Ow how can the proletariat suffer the injustice of tripping over uneven sidewalks while the rich continue to exploit us!"
This is like a meme level comment at this point.
Edit: to everyone downvoting: Prove me wrong. Give me the data. Show me that income or class had a considerable impact on these active school shooters.
The closer we get to the root of the problem, the more people we'll find that contribute to it and the fewer we'll find that are willing to acknowledge it.
I'm sorry you're too innocent or delusional to believe that money doesn't impact nearly every aspect of our lives.
You willfully neglected the whole point of my comment. Show us the data that school shooters are influenced by income or class warfare? Not even Marx would stoop as low as you guys do to frame every. Single. Issue. Through. One. Single. Lens.
I'm not here to argue with you, lol.
Clearly!
Because you don't have an argument. All you have is "class warfare". You don't have concrete paths to solutions. Just virtue signaling. That's it. That's all you got.
Okay. Believe whatever you want.
Give me something more than "the class warfare of the burgeosie is indicative of the increased prevalence of school shootings". Im always open to changing my beliefs
