Statesian here. There are a CRAPTON of mass shootings here. If we do nothing about guns, the shootings will still happen. What is the leftist answer for reducing mass shootings without disarming the proletariat?

  • Invest more in mental health programs, including efforts to destigmatize therapy.
  • Teach critical thinking skills in school to give younger generations the tools to be more likely to find an alternative to violence.
  • Encourage more in-person social events and public spaces. It's too easy to dehumanize these days.

I've been thinking about your third bullet point a lot lately. I genuinely think that the lack of irl social interaction these days is far more pernicious than anyone wants to acknowledge. I don't think it's social media and technology that are the problem, rather, the LACK of third places and irl social interaction is the problem, if that makes sense.
