People who blame "Capitalists" are semi-retarded. They are leftist ideologues who only want to use a tradgedy to score points for their political agenda. And they're too dumb to realize that we don't have real free-trade capitalism, we have a crony-capitalism/semi-socialistic corporatism system. And if families have disintegrated it is largely due to the increased power of the state.
While there is no evidence of a Leftist false flag operation, much larger and worse atrocities have been coldly executed in order to further an ideology.
It's just a fact. It's the nature of capitalism--dog eat dog if you will.
Dog 3 doesn't give a shit if dog 1 eats dog 2--so long as it doesn't fuck with what dog 3 is up to.
It's not some leftist agenda--at least not for my part of the argument. I just look at it as a natural consequence.
Let me be clear, I'm not saying capitalism made this guy do anything--or that we could've prevented it somehow by not being such capitalists.
What I'm saying is that a week from now, most people won't give a shit about this. We'll have the same old guns kill people vs people kill people argument we've had for 50 years and we'll go about our business.
The only people who will ACTUALLY give a shit 5 years down the road, who will DO something about it--are going to be the people who were affected today.
The rest of us will merely keep "our thoughts and prayers' with the family. A nice thought, to be sure--but the effect is nil.
I'm definitely not trying to politicize this, it's just my opinion--and it's not that far fetched.
"Squiggly, do you mean to say that things that happen within our culture and our responses to them are affected by our culture?"
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. YOU can choose to politicize that very elementary notion if you please--but so far as I'm concerned it was just an observation, not meant to bolster any political position.
I'm a staunch supporter of capitalism--do I think it needs regulated? Yes, I do--but not abolished.
That's 100% different from how I believe our country deals with things like this psychologically--which is with a bunch of feigned feelings, and not much action at all.
