I feel like at this point there needs to be a new word for when you've reiterated the point that something, a person, place or thing is completely fucked yet it just bears saying again, even though their is a tacit agreement that it is indeed fucked.
I was pretty miserable as a teenager but I feel like someone HAS to realize how fucked things are for young people these days that they go get a gun and just start unloading into their classmates. Is there just no one who wants to take responsibility for society failing people like this?
If you want some interesting insight into the mind of a young spree killer look up Randy Stair. He wanted to shoot up his school but ended up choosing his workplace instead. The tl;dr in my opinion is neoliberal late capitalism turning people lose. Young people are staring down the barrel of income inequality that surpasses the gilded age, in a crumbling hollowed empire, with older generations who simply do not care, and the looming threat of climate apocalypse always present in the air.
I'm using he as his pronouns because I don't think he ever stated what his preferred were. Someone can correct me on that?
No no no it isn't that capitalismsociety hasnt failed the people, its the individual who has failed society! It was the school shooter's personal responsibility to not have a mental breakdown under whatever combination of economic violence, physical/mental abuse, apathy, and stress, using a firearm that was somehow easily accessible to a minor. See, the system worked fairly well in removing the bad apples! Sure its horrible a few children died but hey, that's life amirite?

No, there isn't. In America "there is no such thing as society" is true

We just need to make sure people have access to therapy and that we center mental health in all discussions. #PrayFor
