Also remember to always include Columbine in this. So many people don't realize one of the shooters was into Nazi shit and wanted to bring about civil war. They're usually some kind of right wing connection to all of them. Really, there has been a string of right wing attacks one way or another since the civil rights movement. Before that it was just kinda normal in some parts of the country to terrorize marginalized groups. We never stopped fighting the civil war.
Didn’t know the Columbine shooters were into Nazism. (Wikipedia says they both were.) Klebold was also Jewish even though liberals maintain that having a distinct Jewish skull shape means you are physically incapable of supporting Nazis. The Jewish Ghetto Police? Totally irrelevant to our discussion.
So I’m looking through “the” book about Columbine, the Dave Cullen one, and it’s doing a great job of focusing on the people involved in this massacre, but I’m wondering if you know of any other resources that look for maybe a broader socioeconomic explanation for why this shit is intensifying in the USA? All I can think of is Ames’s book, Going Postal, but that one basically kind of just blames Reagan for everything. It doesn’t go deep enough. I don’t know if you caught the racist kid videos from Jerry Springer that were circulating on twitter a few days ago, but some of the commenters said that this shit was basically caused by the collapse of the USSR. Once America had won the cold war, it no longer needed to even pretend to be good and also no longer needed to fund the kinds of social safety nets that stop mass shootings before they even happen in other countries.
Last time I looked Wiki had a decent page on right wing terrorism which included many shootings.

This is why any form bigotry should be dealt with the wall. Skip jail, no discourse in the marketplace of ideas, face the fucking wall.
Use slurs? Wall
Racist. sexist, homophobic 'joke'? Wall
draw a swastika? wall

The Media never talked about it. They spun a totally false narrative about bullying and goth kids.
