    That violence usually is a result of failing mental health support during crumbling and dying Capitalism, not the State directly shooting kids, to be clear.

      That’s fair. Still seems to be quite a large reluctance to do anything about it, so it seems to “belong” through negligence though.

        It’s more of a consequence than a direct choice, we can waffle back and forth on how far consequences of direct decisions extend. You’re largely correct though, but I wanted to draw the distinction that the American Empire is explicitly and violently anticommunist.
