Right away it's the gun, the Proud Boys, the magats, the Q, the cops, racism, sexism, xeno-homophobia (which is a false term IMO), the Governor, the State, his/her/their lack of programs, etc? Why is it that the last thing that gets blamed for peoples' actions are the people committing the acts? If we were really woke we'd have a much better understanding that shit goes wrong in this world that we have absolutely no control over, and very little will to do what can actually be controlled, like raising children to be decent human beings. Too tall an order for too many people these days.
Anti-Woke is just another one of those things you absorb or pay no attention to. Trust that whatever drove this monsterous asshole to this much hate was accumulated over time, regularly focused on or repeated until it became obsession.

I agree that this didn't happen in a vacuum or overnight. At the same time, you do need to note that the atmosphere in Florida and other places is overripe for encouraging scum like this to believe that it's long past time to take action.
But a lot of this hatred spreads through underground channels like 4-Chan on the internet. But the flames are fanned by groups like the Proud Boys being able to operate openly, and the governor proclaiming that anything remotely promoting any type of equality is 'woke nonsense' and undermining our way of life.
Add easy access to guns and *BOOM*!
But these nutjobs aren't isolated to just red states though - look at the shooting at the Pittsburg Synagogue or the shooting in upstate NY at the grocery store.
I truly see it as a disease, and it will continue to spread as long as places like 4-Chan and Q are continued to allow to exist pretty much unfettered.

Yes. No question that there are always going to be contributing factors. Fact is 99.99999% people don't wake up one day and start shooting people they hate. Not even the ones that have more guns than brain cells.
It's just not a thing the grand majority of the time so I think we should spend a lot more time focusing on the .000001% of the individuals that do and maybe work a little harder on figuring out how two tone it the fuck down on the culture war stuff. From both sides!
