âJason Dias: Hereâs The Real Reason Behind All These Shootingsâ
Existential therapist and writer, Jason Dias, claims that there is something deeper and more pervasive than guns, drugs, or mental illness at the bottom of the United Statesâ mass shooting problem. On aNewDomain he writes: âWe have to acknowledge that people who are despairing right now, theyâre the sane ones, the normal ones. It makes sense to despair when youâre looked down on, tormented, bullied. When you feel different and youâre alienated. When your culture is alienated. When violence is glorified not by movies and games and television, but by the government, by the news. When violence is fetishized by political parties.â
