I just watched the Parkland shooting documentary. It got me thinking there was so many mass shootings in the 2010's especially in high schools and this spaces (big box stores,movie theaters,
other events).

2012: Aurora shooting, sandy hook.
2014: Isla Vista shooting
2016: pulse night club shooting
2017: Vegas shooting (huge death toll). Fuck you boomer.
2018: Parkland shooting, Texas high school shooting
2019: Walmart shooting

There was Virginia Tech in the 2000's and we've had the Texas 2022 shooting but nothing seems to compare to the bloodshed of the 2010's. What the fuck?
 
I guess that's because when America had mass shootings in the past they just called it playing cowboys and Indians.

The 2010s were a perfect storm of untreated mental illness, online radicalization, collapsing social cohesion, and a media landscape that basically incentivized mass shooters by turning them famous. Add in the rise of social media (which amplifies isolation and narcissism), plus easy access to firearms, and you get a decade where every disaffected loser thought he was the main character in his own manifesto.

A lot of these guys were terminally online, angry at the world, and saw shooting people as a way of sending a message. It wasn’t about ideology most of the time, it was about getting noticed, or taking revenge on a society they felt rejected by.

Post-2020, the flavor of societal dysfunction shifted. People started melting down in different ways, zoomer shooters exist, but a lot of that energy went toward self-harm, drugs, gender weirdness, or political extremism instead. Still violent, still broken, just less cinematic.

We never fixed the problem. It just mutated.

Call of Duty and other hyper realistic first person shooters. The Pentagone (deep state dividion) issued a secretive executive order (EO) prohibiting the creation of good AAA realistic first person shooters. That’s why games like Fortnite and League of Losers promoted over PUGB.

There are tons and tons of shootings every year that are not discussed at all, I guess Jews just thought that with obamna in the white house they could take guns away with some sob story bullshit like they did in Australia
 
DID very many shootings happen? The ones the OP listed were real, but one thing I recall Freedomtoons bringing up is that places will artificially inflate the numbers by fudging the definition of what counts as a "shooting." For example, a man committing suicide in an abandoned school's parking lot in the middle of the night was counted as a "shooting."

It's funny we live in an age of "don't trust the media" and yet, here we are....
