Who would have guessed cranking the background noise up to 11 would drive people insane? Reagan probably did. Thats why he axed all of the fairness legislation. To create these political bubbles in the first place.

Headline blames both sides, article lets us know it’s mostly from the right.

But still better than the 60s.

Isn’t all violence political? I like to play a game where I try to tie all the problems in society back to capitalism. It’s fun. You should try it.

No. A lot of violence is done for personal gain or anger/revenge.

Caused by material conditions not met by capitalism

I’m sure you could make an argument that like “my girlfriend broke up with me so I shot her new boyfriend” is because of capitalism, but I’m not sure I’d buy it. Pun intended.
