I am really impressed by the way Trump handled the criticism from the mass shootings. I'm surprised the democrats didn't accuse him of using the second guy as a patsy as I suspected the first guy in the El Paso shootings was. You don't think they both... Do you?

I read on a conspiracy website that the first shooters father was politically involved and that the son was doped up on SRI's and may have been mind controlled.
Make Trona great again!

As our society has become increasingly multi-cultural, it has also become increasingly dysfunctional. Closely paralleling this trend has been a consistent drop in average IQ as a result of social policies initiated in the 1960s:
The Bell Curve (Herrnstein and Murray) wrote:Mounting evidence indicates that demographic trends are exerting downward pressure on the distribution of cognitive ability in the USA and that the pressures are strong enough to have social consequences. The professional consensus is that the USA has experienced dysgenic pressures throughout most of the past century.

This is incredibly important because:
The Bell Curve (Herrnstein and Murray) wrote:As IQs drop the following things increase: poverty, single mothers, incarceration rates, high school drop out rates, etc.

The white guilt phenomenon has allowed this trend to go unchecked. We still see this phenomenon exerting a huge amount of influence on what Herrnstein and Murray refer to as the cognitive elites. The most politically correct institutions currently are universities, media companies, and tech giants such as Google/YouTube and Facebook.
The Bell Curve (Herrnstein and Murray) wrote:Since the 1960s this long-standing discomfort among white elites has taken on the character of a sensitivity so acute that it resembles a disorder.

The problem with this situation is that it's very much like a balloon about to burst:
The Bell Curve (Herrnstein and Murray) wrote:Racism will reemerge in a new and more virulent form. The tension between what the white elite is supposed to think and what it is actually thinking about race will reach something close to a breaking point. This pessimistic prognosis must be contemplated: When the break comes, the result, as so often happens when cognitive dissonance is resolved, will be an overreaction in the other direction.

Currently we see individuals being pushed to their breaking points in various ways. It's not actually fair to characterize their reaction as racism. It's more accurate to suggest that these individuals are reacting to an increasingly dysfunctional society. They correctly understand that multi-culturalism has something to do with the problem, but most likely do not realize that IQs have consistently dropped off since the 1960s due to dysgenic forces (aka, the welfare state). On top of that recent immigrants have on average had substantially below average IQs. This has resulted in an ever increasing portion of the population having below average IQs and this not only results in higher crime rate and drop out rates, but it also means that many of those entering the work force are incompetent and only have a minimal capacity to be trained to a point where they can competently perform their jobs. In a word, we're screwed! And all this has created the pressure cooker situation that desertrat mentioned.

BTW, The Bell Curve was published in the 1990s. It has been viciously attacked by SJW types, but it has increased in popularity over the years because the facts that it presents are irrefutable. Any intellectually honest person would recognize the truth presented in the book. It's a long read, but it's an amazing read. However, don't blame the messenger. It's the message that policy makers need to be aware of.

You'll never hear such a straight forward and accurate analysis as this on any media news show and unless we are able to discuss the roots of the problem, there is no way that we will solve the problem. Thank you for getting straight to the root of the problem! If only the idiots in charge could honestly and openly deal with the problem as honestly and openly as you diagnosed the problem.

Our dysfunctional society has resulted in a lot of unnecessary hassles for a lot of people. This IQ crisis makes sense, but it's worse than that although at the bottom of everything it could be the issue of dropping IQs across the board that accounts for everything. How else do so many people support some of the stupid laws and stupid policies which have been enacted in recent decades?

Dungeons and Dragons and moral panics
I could have posted this to the Moral Panics thread, but if you listen to what the guys has to say, it's pretty clear that it fits here more than there.

The Real Solution to 'Racist' Mass Shootings
Excellent discussion of the situation. It's nice to see that there are some sane people capable of analyzing the problem in a rational manner!

They say that mental health is a big issue here and the number one thing that pushes people into a state of mental instability is LACK OF SLEEP. The number one reason people don't get adequate sleep is NOISE. There are other reasons that people don't get enough sleep, but the one factor that the government could do something about is NOISE. Put aggressive noise reduction laws into practice and I guarantee that the stress level for everyone will be greatly reduced. Take down the stress level a few notches and a few of these mass shooters will not be pushed to the point where they cross the line. However, there are plenty of other things that will improve if people get more sleep and their stress level is reduced. People become more friendly, more productive on the job, more generally positive. All that just by reducing NOISE. It's a simple and actually pretty obvious solution to a huge problem. It may not be a 100% solution, but it will take a huge bite out of the problem and everyone will be better off as a result!

The FBI is Arresting People Before They Commit Any Crimes
One of these guys threatened to commit a mass shooting on Facebook. It is not clear how one goes about killing a bunch of people on Facebook. I wonder if the feds will be banning virtual bullets in the near future.

The Clash - Tommy Gun (Official Video)
We live in a country that thinks nothing of killing tens of thousands of people over oil. Remember Iraq? No justification for that atrocity. If our leaders do business without regard for the lives of people in other countries, why is anyone even slightly surprised when someone shoots up a store, church, or school? People are FUCKING idiots!

Boats an' tanks and planes, it's your game
Kings an' queens an' generals learn your name
I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap
Then the same goes for life!

If we had real heroes in this country those heroes never would have tolerated the attack on Iraq or Syria or any of the other unjustified invasions that came before those!

Everyone I know who is reasonably intelligent knew that all the excuses to invade Iraq were complete bullshit before it happened. It was obvious to anyone with even just slightly above a triple digit IQ. And after the fact even the double digit IQ crowd understood what had happened for the most part. Many people are still in denial over what happened, but our clearest expression of our true values as a nation was demonstrated by what we did to the people of Iraq. We said we were liberators, but we were really murderers. Charlie Manson liked to say that the people murdered by his gang were liberated or set free. He seems to be cut from the same mold as most of our leaders. What an interesting coincidence. And so our national psychology really is just not much more than that of a terrorist and so no wonder so many people commit random acts of terrorism.

Is gun control the answer? Only a stupid person would think that gun control is anything approaching a solution. Of course, the double digit crowd probably comprises about two-thirds of our population now as the result of decades of dysgenic policy. So, we are reaping what we have sowed in so many ways.

America Just Had a Black Mass Shooting, So Why Isn't the Media Talking About It?
Make sure you watch the part where the faces of recent mass shooters are shown. Whites are a minority when it comes to that bunch. You'd never guess that based on info supplied by the corporate media.

The media has the power to shape perception. They should be required to be accurate and if they fail to report responsibly then they should be subject to appropriate consequences.
