But yeah, tis that internet radicalisation acting on young, impressionable, and angsty brains.


I guess this is another example of the internet facilitating the bringing together of what used to be disparate scatterings of fuckwit reprobates, upon such bringing together their toxicity is amplified. I would imagine there's always been such males around but were probably isolated and didn't get the validation they do now.

I think you're right in that regard, but I also think it goes further and actively influences impressionable minds into this kind of thing too.

Education, of many different types, is the key to getting out of this mess, and it wouldn't be quick or easy. But it must happen. They don't teach critical race theory in grade school, but maybe they should start. Thanks for the idea, Republicans.
Education would go a long way towards fixing some of the major societal issues we have. This is insane. Most Americans know this, but we need them to know that the politicians in charge have other interests in mind. Money.
