  • I don’t see what the Obama presidency has to do with anything. Steve Bannon was selling WoW gold and Epstein wanted microtranstions in CoD, so they have their target demographic. This was also around the time that political astroturfing was getting more active on reddit and that was the platform it was easy to detect. Everywhere else, it would be harder to tell.

    It’s the same logic where neo-nazis would try recruiting outside of punk shows, but punk shows got better about kicking the neo-nazis out. With 4chan, they just outright bought the venue.
















  • I don’t know much about Switzerland, but America has an incredible dehumanizing education system where if you don’t fit into a highly competitive capitalist, you have no value. Some kids don’t feel like they want to be a part of that, but they don’t have an alternative, so they don’t care anymore. Adults that that happens to become deranged and may think shooting up a school is doing the kids a favor. A few of them have had copies of Catcher in the Rye in their pocket which has those themes.

    It’s not access to guns that’s the problem. It’s that we fundamentally have a broken psyche at a social level.
