obviously part of the "white supremacist or jihadi" game so many people play following shootings is that they want a talking point for their side but there's more to it than that
they want there to be a reason why things happen, a motive force
in a similar way that conspiracy theories are at their core about reassurance: that even if it's an evil shadowy cabal or whatever, things happen for a reason. someone is still steering the ship
but mostly these things just like, happen. there's no great mystery to uncover, that's just where we are now
it is kinda weird how in all cases the actual event itself is quickly set aside
either it's turned into a springboard for a totally different conversation (parkland, toronto) or deemed too weird to "use" for anything and discarded (vegas, nasim)
media/internet ecosystem has transformed reality into narrative, reality as the experience of disconnected phenomena basically doesn't exist anymore
It has made Baudrillard and McLuhan more relevant than ever
