Lord save us from technologists with brains larger than their hearts.

So I've posted before about how bad this is, and been flagged and downvoted, which sort of proves the point - this is not an open platform for the exchange of ideas in the same way a chan board is.

However, rather than reiterate my previous points, let me pose a question. Where are all the angry young men going to go to now? Will the problem become worse because now people with mental health issues have no place else to form community?

I feel we are in uncharted territory and keep trying to fix the symptoms of a broken society rather than the cause.

Make no mistake, what these young people did was sick and wrong. But they were social "losers" that no one helped or cared for. Because that costs time, money, and "sharing" social capital. By which I mean sometimes you've got to let the little guy win, because humans are social animals and we're hard wired to desire "fairness".

And our society doesn't promote fairness and fraternity. The US, as a culture, just does not give a shit about the little guy.

You want the shootings to stop? Start giving people more than McJobs, make mental health professionals cheap and accessible, start trying to gasp figure out how to get incels laid.

Do we do any of that? Fuck no. Society makes fun of nerdy anti-social people, because it makes people feel big to put others down.

Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the land of the crazy people...
