    But what about America because most things in that video weren't American phenomenon. They are what sells and what sells sells across every country. Is that stating that given enough time all media will become Americanised enough in which case this issue of school shootings shoudl become more wide spread?

    So still, what is the issue?

    This dude is going out of his way to find a different culprit rather than the "total amount of guns (also per capita)" or "ease of arming oneself" arguments.

    He, however, concentrates on the seed. Right now, as I pointed out before it's a rather uniquely American phenomenon. Even so, most of the shootings that do happen do not even leave the local news. It's that normalized. Just another Tuesday.

    So, the argument in that video is that

    it's happening > it's covered more in the 24h news cycle because sensationalism, ads > becomes more glamorous somehow, attracting the "right" candidates > it happens more.


    There are leaps in logic in that reasoning (such as where the fuck do they get the weapons in the first place) which is why I posted it here to initiate some kind of a discussion on the topic for the nth time, but we are already at the point that the mass shooting cat is long out of the proverbial bag.
