As usual, video games have again been cited as one of the main causes of mass murder in the United States, which is repeated several times by Republican senators who believe that there are very specific reasons that are not related to firearms. part of the country seems to show inexplicable passion.
Ted Cruz, a Republican senator in Texas, the state where the most recent massacre took place, at a school in Uwald where about 20 children were shot, was especially noted for how he presents several causes of the massacre and how he mentions video games and violent content on the Internet. as reasons why these people become desensitized to violence and even death.
Cruz says these massacres should force the entire nation to focus on what really matters, “recognize where our culture is failing” and immediately presents signs and issues that are particularly affecting the minds of young people at the moment. The man responsible for the horrific massacre at Uvalde was only 18 years old.
Cruz refuses to question the government’s response to what is happening and doesn’t even mention the role of firearms, preferring to film it “looking at broken families, missing parents, declining church attendance, social media bullying, violent content online.” , the desensitizing act of committing murder in video games, chronic isolation…”. here Cruz had to stop to enjoy the applause of the audience.
Finally, he also talked about the use of drugs and pharmaceuticals, which together affect the minds of the youngest. Cruz didn’t talk about weapons and ease of access, his focus was surgical, and like in the past, he took great care to keep the conversation focused on key words and never mention the word “weapons.”
After this terrible tragedy, we’re back to the usual cycle of putting video games among the top causes of carnage and waiting for the conversation to move on to the next topic, maybe Kardashian will do something and social media will focus on what.
