Another example of absolutist thinking mixed with toxic masculinity and easy access to guns. We humans too easily externalize our fears and are often eagerly swept up in explanations that enforce our sense of inadequacy. So much simpler and satisfying to blame others for our frustrations and circumstances than to see the nuances and complexity of life. Many elected officials take advantage of this so are also culpable for these slaughters. While this "theory" riles up those frightened people, it seems to serve as one more tactic to fan the flames of a race war. Is that what they want? Is that what those who advocate this theory want? It certainly serves to distract those who believe the theory from how they are being exploited and how the wealthy are getting off mostly scot free from any consequences for their rapacious appetites.
