    Signing up to be humiliated and put through bootcamp, given a gun, freedom to kill and voluntarily putting yourself in the line of fire is a predictor of extremist violence? I’m gonna have to disagree with you on this one.

      How about add on daily propaganda that tells you that the elite are out to get you, immigrants are invading, trans people are everywhere, communism is taking over and your way of life is disappearing … as well as messaging constantly telling you that you’re poor because of these reasons and if you get hurt or get sick you’ll go into debt, if you go to school you’ll go into debt, you buy a house you’re in debt, you buy a car you’re in debt, you eat you’re in debt, you breathe you’re in debt … all because of poor people, elites, immigrants, trans people … constantly droning on and on every single day.

      All In a country where anyone can get a prescription to an antipsychotic or antidepressant and have the ability to buy a gun or many guns.

      What could go wrong
