So there was another random shooting, this time in Oregon. There are two possibilities here 1) the amount of random shooting is on the rise, or 2) the coverage of such shootings is on the increase in order to promote gun control.
I tend to believe that both factors are at play here. Regarding gun control, I believe what we need is more guns and not less. If we had a more traditional culture, closer to the original state of the US and colonial America, then many people would be carrying guns with them at all times. Under such circumstances some guy that wants to randomly mow down a lot of people would perhaps get off one shot, maybe two, and then he would be shot himself by a bystander, perhaps riddled with bullets. That is the answer, not more gun control. What made America strong is the old practices and culture that used to be here, not all the socialism and statism which have been added in over time, mostly in the late 20th century. Since the addition of those items we have seen more failure and decline than ever before.
Now regarding the frequency of the shootings, I can definitely believe that they are on the rise. The culture and values have changed, so the majority of people no longer place objective value on human life or personal freedom. But the fact that this fellow killed himself in the end is very telling, and to me it indicates that suicide was his end goal, and the lashing out/mass murder was a stop on the way to that goal.
My grandparents lived through the depression. My grandmother told me that during the Great Depression it was very common for men to kill themselves. There were many who shot themselves, and others who simply jumped off the tops of tall buildings. Why?
You have to understand male psychology, which the mainstream media, politicians, academia, and mainstream psychological profession is CONTINUALLY trying to deny and repress. Men are validated by their accomplishments and self sufficiency. Those are the things that men primarily draw their self esteem from, while for women horizontal relationships play much more of a role. Men don’t care as much about being loved or well liked, or having lots of people to talk to and hang out with as they do about being able to survive on their own, and to provide, and to accumulate at least a little bit of wealth. While there is some validation that can come from horizontal relationships, they are not at the core of it. A man can have thousands of friends, and he can be in a relationship with the nicest and most attractive woman in the world, but if he can’t get a job or work then he is still going to feel 100% worthless. Even under those circumstances a man might still consider killing himself, or at the very least long for death.
The worst thing for a man is to feel useless and/or helpless. A man doesn’t want to live off of someone else like some kind of child or invalid, he wants to work and be free. Living off of handouts is psychologically and emotionally crippling for a man.
“Oh but there are so many men on welfare, and they like it, and we need to help them…” Yes there are so many men living off of welfare, and no they are not happy. Look at how much criminal activity they engage in, and check their self esteem level. A lot of men have been trained to accept dependence on some level, but it doesn’t follow that they are happy, they just don’t think they can do anything to help themselves anymore, and they have a high level of contempt for life. If you want to help them then 1) Stop trying to make men into women, and 2) Stop trying to destroy the economy. We need more jobs not more handouts.
Why is the male unemployment rate higher than the female unemployment rate? That’s backwards and unacceptable. I think that as the economy continues to deteriorate we will see more shootings, and more male suicide.
I don’t understand or condone the shootings, but my guess is that the shootings are a result of undirected anger stemming from a lack of opportunity. My guess. I don’t think the majority of these shootings are Columbine type incidents resulting from people getting picked on too much or any such rot. In any case, personal hardship does not justify mass murder. There are plenty of ways to take yourself out without bringing others with you.
As for the suicide, I can definitely understand that. When a man is convinced that he has no future and that all of his best efforts are worthless then the only thing he really has to look forward to is death. I have also suffered as a result of the economic decline. We no longer have an environment of abundant opportunities, where if you work hard enough you can rise to the apex of your abilities and become successful. Things have changed. A lot of people will work hard and remain undermployed for their entire lives, just barely getting by rather than succeeding. This is the new economy that the left has worked hard to create.
More men will kill themselves, and many will do so in spite of the fact that they have wives and children. I’m not trying to be unnecessarily grim, but people need to wake up and realize what is going on and why it is happening, rather than listening to the mainstream/leftist propaganda which wants you to think that up is down and down is up.
I went through school twice, and the end result was that I worked a variety of odd jobs well below the level of my education before I found one that would allow me to GET BY. That being said, I never killed myself, and I don’t reccomend suicide, but that is mainly because of my religious beliefs. I always assumed that if I killed myself I would end up in Hell. Every now and again if I burn myself or get sick for some time I think about Hell. As awful as that pain is I can’t help thinking how much worse it would be if it were all over my body, and if there were never going to be an end to it. That is something that should be avoided at all costs. Even if I wasn’t sure about Hell, I would still hesitate with suicide because death is generally irreversable, and once dead, if you don’t like your destination then there is nothing you can do to reverse your situation. So I figured I would just take it and see what I could do, and in the meantime avoid being a parasite on anyone else because parasitism is immoral, unless you are a child too young to take care of yourself.
But not everyone shares my belief in Hell or respect for human life. The culture, values, and beliefs of the majority of the US have changed drastically. But, instead of more government oversight, Big Brother, gun control, and psychological warfare on men, what I would like to see is a realistic approach to the issues. Enough trying to make men into women. Enough pretending that being a man or a woman is a lifestyle choice while sexual orientation is not. Enough with the culture of handouts and dependency. Enough is enough already.
Men need jobs, not handouts.
