Causes and origins of teenage mass murders

21

Once upon a time, in perestroika times, smart people warned that you cannot take only the good from capitalism, and not take the bad, that if we build capitalism, then everything will be like in the West: unemployment, poverty, homelessness, and bankruptcy , and mortgages, and prostitution, and suicides, and shootings of businessmen, and terrorist attacks, and AIDS. But our people firmly believed that everyone in the West lives in chocolate, that one cannot listen to Soviet propaganda. "Don't read Soviet newspapers!"

And so we built Western-style capitalism, now we have everything like overseas: managers, PRs, stand-ups, security guards, boyfriends, shopping, bloggers, coaches and ... school shooters.



Think about it! Teenagers, these sexually mature kids who do not know and do not understand life, systematically go crazy and shoot schools and universities for the amusement of journalists savoring sensations! Here it is, the dark side of the wonderful new world that we have built with such selflessness on the ruins of our former culture and life.

On the fight against the consequences


Now there are hundreds of experts, psychologists, politicians and other talkers will again begin to convince us that there is no connection between the atmosphere in society, between the laws of economic and political development of Russia and the massacres. That these shooters are genetic defects from which no one is immune. Humble yourself, citizens!

Again, there will be talk in favor of corrupt officials that it is necessary to increase the number and quality of fences, video cameras, security officers, checkpoints, police officers and psychologists. The philistine logic will again play the first violin: “Protect me from all this”. Security firm owners are already rubbing their hands - the sales market promises unprecedented growth.

If you want to see unsurpassed spending on public safety, the highest fences, the smartest cameras, the most trained policemen and psychologists on every corner - look at America. All this has already been fully implemented there. But things are still there, they shoot several times a year.

Of course, idiots' access to firearms increases the number of victims - this is an absolute truth. But why even this warning of the consequences has been going on for us so indecisively and painfully for a long time? Everything is very simple. We live in a society where every rich man, every more or less prominent official lives in an atmosphere of fear for "over-earned". Everyone who drives a premium car, wears a watch and a suit for a million, has not only a reinforced door at home, but also a safe with a “hunting rifle”. And they are mentally preparing not to shoot the game, but to uninvited guests who are also not averse to taking advantage of the people's wealth. This layer of wealthy citizens does not allow, under the guise of protecting the rights of avid hunters, to prohibit the circulation of firearms. Although everyone understands that real hunters can be given a gun in the forest for the duration of the hunt.

On the cause of the massacres


However, even if you completely restrict adolescents' access to firearms, this will not save you from mass murder. Juvenile psychos will take on other, albeit less deadly, murder weapons. The question is not about the means of the crime, but about its causes. Why do young people go crazy and want to kill themselves as resonantly as possible, taking as many of their peers to the next world as possible?

First, what is the ideology of this adolescent psychopathism? All these arrows are radical misanthropes, they hated society and call people "biomass". And this is not an isolated phenomenon, not "genetic errors." Tens of thousands of schoolchildren and students have subscribed to groups savoring the shootings of schools and universities on social networks. And this is just one of the extreme manifestations of a huge culture of misanthropy, cynicism, sarcasm and hatred.

And it's not about the "Dulles plan", movies and computer games. Young people, with their characteristic maximalism, refract the prevailing morality through their hobbies and primitive forms of perception. And already some, the most mentally unstable young people, who have reached complete moral insignificance, grab weapons and bombs.

Is the attitude to peers as to "biological waste" something fundamentally different from the attitude of the powers that be to the people, as a consumable? We have a person turned into one of the expense lines of the business plan. Some live from paycheck to paycheck, that is, essentially for the sake of a paycheck, while others look at working people as cheap raw materials. And pensioners and disabled people, since they have no interest in earning money, do not cause anything but contempt among “successful people”. And children absorb it all like sponges.

Market the economy the law of competition is objectively inherent. Ideologically and mentally, this economic law is served by the ideology of individualism and selfishness. In turn, cynicism and misanthropy is bringing individualism and egoism to the psychic extreme: "I am against society, I am against everyone!", "I will kill myself and kill as many people as possible!" Those. teenagers go crazy amid the prevailing market morality. A certain role in the destabilization of young people, of course, is played by the media with their hysterics and thirst for sensations with or without, the cult of violence in films and games, and other "joys" of freedom and democracy.

No matter how the state and sane figures of culture, journalism and science try to counteract the destructive morality of competition and selfishness, they constantly fail within the framework of the whole society. Because behind them are only normative acts, words and abstract scientific truths, and behind the market morality is the daily practice of life. If the market teaches young people to gnaw each other's throats for money and a career, is it any wonder psychopaths appear?

Secondly, is it possible that in a society permeated with the pathos of creativity, great accomplishments, and the romance of socially useful labor, can young people systematically develop a desire to kill themselves, kill their peers, or make fun of these atrocities? As if life itself tells us, adults, that our sick society gives rise to sick adolescents.

We must pay tribute to the Soviet tempering of teachers and Soviet family education: in the field of socialization of youth, we held out for a long time. Western social ills and the decay of morality pervaded the longest precisely in the relationship between "fathers and children." But in the end, the atmosphere of reality and admiration for the West took their toll, and now we are catching up with the United States not in iron smelting, but in school shooting.

    comfortable. They don't shoot where there is communism. And communism is nowhere to be found (or do I have outdated data?) wassat

    PS
    Shooting on the Railway Station Square of Kursk (1968)
    Explosion in Lenin's Mausoleum (1973)
    The Sakalauskas Case (1987)

    I think the list is not complete, because in the USSR the tragedy of the inhabitants of the village of Kursha-2 fell silent. And this is 1000 (one thousand citizens) who were burned to death 200 kilometers from Moscow - against this background, not raising (not writing a note in the Pravda newspaper) information about the executions of a dozen people is easy.

    PPS Under communism, they don't shit with a rainbow. And they stole and killed and there was lawlessness - and there were mass killings in the army. So these are all stories for the immature fans of Kostya Semin.

    PPPS In the USA in 2020, the volume of steel production decreased by 17,2%, so the honorable fourth place went to Russia.

      Yes, hiding any information is not a phenomenon for capitalist countries or for communist countries, now I am also sure a lot is hidden from the eyes. It can happen anywhere.

      But, your examples are a little not clear. You gave examples in which already formed individuals are guilty, and in our country schoolchildren and / or students create a tragedy. Have there been such tragedies with schoolchildren in the Union? There are cases, for example, the shooting of students in 1958. But here he was shot by an adult, a mature person. Therefore, situations when minors commit this can be called a new phenomenon that must be fought.

        in which already formed individuals are guilty

        yes, who grew up and formed when the country was building a bright future - there was still no smell of capitalism there.

        Have there been such tragedies with schoolchildren in the Union? I think if they were, this would have been known for a long time

        a newspaper in the USSR never wrote about the tragedy where 1000 people were burned to death near Moscow. It would be known - yeah. in the USSR, this simply could not be - therefore they did not write about it anywhere, except for the reports of special services

        Now such a tragedy would have happened - try to shut up. This is not the USSR.

          Those who were born under Putin are shooting and killing among young people. Therefore, it will no longer be possible to blame the USSR. The oligarchy in the Russian Federation was built not by us, but by the authorities, turning a blind eye to the moral and ethical education of current and future generations. What the authorities have sown with their liberal reforms, we reap. I support the author.

      The less competition, careerism, and the cult of money in a society, the less it produces psychopaths. Would you like to call the decline in the role of these phenomena communism, please.

      In the USSR, society was indeed healthier in this regard, and the more persistently Western values ​​and market relations were introduced, the more alcoholics and crazy Chikatil and Novodvorsk people became.

      It is possible, of course, to sacredly believe the opposite, that "it has always been as it is today," select some facts, false speculations and myths, writing off the problems on human nature. Here everyone is free to think and decide for himself. But you can't argue against the facts, even ten years ago it was impossible to imagine "school shooting" here.

      Today I was at the site of the massacre, the impressions are very heavy.

        The author, urgently in Wikipedia, in the sections of the categories "Serial killers of the USSR" and "Serial killers of the United States", compare the number for the same period of time, compare the motives, compare the number of victims and other criteria.

        And if your communist delirium has not supplanted the last remnants of reason, then you will see that the difference is very small. And this is taking into account the fact that in the USSR:

        1. The detection rate of serial killings was lower, including for ideological reasons. Actually, the same Chikatila was caught for more than 10 years simply because, when he was caught for the first time, the local "party organizer" put pressure on investigator Burakov - they say, release an honest member of the CPSU!

        2. Nobody spoke publicly about the existence of serial killers in the USSR - it was considered (just like you) "an attribute of the decaying bourgeoisie).

        And as long as people like you are in the appearance of serial and mass murderers weave ideology, until then it will be so.

      A society in which everyone sees in the other only a source of profit is doomed.

      where is the USSR with its society? Have the communists passed the test of time? Or did you fail to reflash a person with his set of human (sometimes not very) qualities?

      Now omerika is reflashing its citizens and it will not work either as a result. As long as there is a budget and funds - maybe, but as soon as they loosen their grip - a person will become a person. Will want to live well, reproduce and compete with others (not always honestly)

      And all this raid will eventually sink into oblivion - because reflashing a person is a futile task. The set of sins is stable through the millennia.

    In this matter, the social order does not matter, murders have not stopped since biblical times.
    The civilian direction of the arms business not only does not require state support, but it increases employment and brings relatively good incomes to manufacturers, intermediaries, traders, increases self-esteem and confidence of weak-willed, offended in life and not accustomed to strenuous everyday work, provoking everyone to take revenge for their insults. and everyone who turns up. Against their background, the Paralympians evoke true admiration and respect.
    The most important role is played by legislation, which gives a chance for any crime to get off with minimal punishment and even be acquitted.
    Much depends on the organization of the arms trade, which is sold on almost every corner, and buying it is no more difficult than the necessary medical certificate.
    The trend towards bureaucracy in the arms business will not solve the problem, but will increase employment and corruption.
    It is impossible to control the intentions of each owner of the weapon, but it is possible to organize trade through licensed shooting and hunting clubs that know their contingent better, and under the threat of responsibility and material compensation for the illegal actions of their members, not everyone will be allowed to take up arms.

      What does the murder have to do with it? The point is that the jerks take up arms and destroy their peers in the building of schools and universities for no meaningful reason. What biblical times are you talking about. This is a phenomenon of the extreme decay of modern society in all its manifestations. Here the hype in the media plays a role, and fashion, and the general cultural level of young people, and cynicism. If we compare it with antiquity, then this is something Herostratan.

    Man is a biosocial being, and if he is not educated, then he turns into an animal. And there is no one to educate. Society as a whole is unhealthy, and what happened is one of the manifestations of this morbidity.

    In this case, this is pure "dostoyevshchina": "Am I trembling Tvari or have the right?" And now the real "quivering tvari" decided to show her "coolness" and prove her "right" to kill other people.

    Western social diseases and the decay of morality penetrated the longest into the relationship between "fathers and children."

    What kind of fathers and children are we talking about?)) 3/4 of children under 15 years old do not have fathers, because mothers decided to divorce and put daddies on the alimony counter, and jump around the heap of cucumbers to their own delight, while there is demand. Everything will only get worse, because the children who have not yet been taken away from their fathers will become even fewer, and there will be even more stupid mothers. And the latter will begin with their meager mind and in the woman's pit to teach the boys the devil knows what.

    There is no beast worse than a man ... and no political and social system will change this. No. Nor is it a product of such a person. And the formation and non-formation of the person committing the crime does not play any role in this. Absolutely. Do not naively believe that if the mass murder was committed by an adult, that is, already formed as a person, who is even 18 years old, this is one thing. And a minor, that is, not yet formed as a person, who is still 17 years old, is different. Yes, all this is nonsense and formalities. For in a year nothing changes and does not happen to a person from 17 to 18 years old. Nothing. The age of majority and the sophistication of a person is a formal and artificial concept and phenomenon. Or are there few undeveloped personalities who are over 30/40/50 and even 60? Or does it say nothing? Biological age does not speak of anything, just as it does not speak of wisdom, experience, formation and readiness for something or not readiness. Doesn't speak at all. I repeat, this is all a formal and artificial concept and phenomenon.

    The problem is in people, the problem is in people, in their nature. And their bestial origin with all the vices has not gone anywhere and will not go away if there was evolution according to Darwin. That's the whole problem, the whole point.
