    I think you’re missing the point in that we already have a lot of mass shooters because society has failed them.

    This is a symptom of our society.

    Trying to absolve society of its involvement is essentially just turning a blind eye to the problem and hoping it goes away. Which is exactly the problem that we have.

    This is simply taking an actual nuanced thought on the situation instead of letting your emotions regulate your thoughts and turning everything into a false dichotomy.

      It is not society which is failing when people turn to murder it’s the people who turn to murder who are failing.

      The focus should be on why a few people decide it’s okay to hate other groups of people so much, that they murder them.

      To believe it’s society’s fault people are turning into murderes and now it’s society’s responsibility to dissolve each and every problem anyone could have ever is completely unrealistic.

      People will always have problems. And there will always be people who believe other lives are worth less. It’s much more likely to be able to do something against the latter than doing something against people having problems.

      Well said.

      Also, seems like a lot of people here on Lemmy fall for that, unfortunately.
