So there's all this outrage about recent shootings. Lots of ire the direction of 8chan, Cloudflare, the NRA, Trump's alleged incitement(s), video games' alleged incitement(s), psych-drugs alleged role(s)...

(What am I missing? Oh, dear.. right.. everyone's favorite social whipping post these days: WHITE MALES.)

And there's no doubt those are whackable moles.

But – as the reference to a favorite human procrastinatory game suggests – none of those are root cause.

Root cause is <drum roll> raising shitty human beings. <cymbal crash>

See how simple?

Well, simple to say, but a hard thing to address. Possibly the hardest thing.

Which is probably why so many people opt out of raising quality human beings (or aiding/abetting that task) by opting into whacking moles with their outrage mallet instead.
