"Violence almost never originates in a vacuum, and the killing of a high-profile political content creator regardless of why it happened speaks to a breakdown in our social order, Piker said. He then went on to outline several factors that he believed set the foundation for a political assassination like this to take place. The social challenges include rising rents and homelessness, the destruction caused by climate change, titanic levels of inequality, and too many others to name here."
"Our capitalist way of life always accumulating, never evening out leaves more and more people to deal with these problems on their own, Piker said. He continued: This produces feelings of isolation and resentment as material conditions worsen. And considering that our society is swamped by and yet somehow stitched together by a 24/7 news cycle that too often feeds this resentment, it is little wonder that a country of stressed-out gun owners would have so many grim, needless gun deaths."
Violence almost never originates in a vacuum, and the killing of a high-profile political content creator regardless of why it happened speaks to a breakdown in our social order. Several factors set the foundation for a political assassination, including rising rents and homelessness, destruction caused by climate change, titanic levels of inequality, and other social challenges. A capitalist way of life that always accumulates and never evens out leaves more people to face these problems alone. This produces feelings of isolation and resentment as material conditions worsen. A society swamped by a 24/7 news cycle that feeds resentment helps explain high levels of gun deaths among stressed-out gun owners. Political figures can take advantage of resentments and redirect them toward vulnerable communities.
