    It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with our culture glorifying violence as the solution in tons of entertainment and a massive amount of guns readily available. Not our culture that puts all value on the individual and down plays community. The culture that works to isolate and divide people and vilifies collective action. No, it’s DEFINITELY a pill’s fault.

      I think the culture thing is actually also tenuous.

      IMHO, what we have is a society that doesn’t actually respect or care for children in any meaningful way. We blame them for being children, fill their heads with increasingly toxic religious nonsense, and now we’re teaching them that lies and hate speech are totally acceptable.

      So what if they see a Rambo movie? If anything it probably gave them a 90 minute respite from feeling worthless and abandoned.
