It hardly matters whether the shootings are planned, because the cultural background that gives rise to the shooting is planned.
I agree only partially.
One of my favorite conservative thinkers described Liberalism in terms that made perfect sense. I cannot exactly duplicate those beliefs, but he sure seems to have been correct.
I followed his line of thinking that Liberalism, while extolled by the Marxist Left, is promulgated, many people nonetheless WILLINGLY adopt it. They adopt it because, for a time, it FEELS GOOD. I know this feeling personally, because I went through it when younger. Being shed of all the “old fashioned” morals that holds civilization in check feels like freedom. Only when something happens that jars people out of this false siren song can one see through the lies.
He warned that the West has two choices. Either a total rejection of the tenants of Liberalism, or people go on and on until civilization and freedom are destroyed, and we return to a new dark age of poverty and slavery.
I believe that Liberalism has advanced to that point. What scares me is that people sure seem to be making the wrong choice...
