Americans did fuck-all when the government locked them in their houses over an obviously fake flu scare.
School shootings are the work of mentally ill children and MKUltra victims, not a reflection of Americans' behavior in general.
> School shootings are the work of mentally ill children
The reason it always happens in relatively affluent places is that they're the work of people that were put on antipsychotics around the onset of puberty. It's literal brain damage, not in a hyperbolic sense. A lot of *adults* have trouble dealing with shit like Remeron and shrinks hand that stuff out like candy.
> I definitely believe that SSRIs are another contributor to this phenomenon.
Oh, Remeron isn't a regular SSRI. It's what they give to people that regular SSRIs don't work on, it's a last-resort antipsychotic that doctors have started just handing out in the past few decades. One of the Columbine kids was on it from age 10 or 11, it's the on the list of drugs for more than half of the mass shooters.
Don't get me wrong: you're right about SSRIs, but this is like the difference between codeine and morphine.

mirtapazine is inducing depression while reducing inhibition. great idea!
