Or, you know, it could be schools and malls are the most common hangouts of those who are likely to have bad medication reactions in their teens. Like workplace shootings for the grownups that have bad medication reactions. And barbershops and hospitals for the old guys. And their own homes for the middle-aged and unemployed. People who go whackadoo more often successfully go whackadoo in the places they spend the most time.

Zoloft and all of those other phsycotropic drugs are the main causes for violence like that

I'd believe it if this article was posted in the first few years of 4chan. Now that site is just a circle jerk of underage children trolling each other. I wouldn't even consider 95% of the content posted on the site anymore as obscene or graphic. It is basically reddit with all the original content and intelligent folks removed and a splash of facebook and tumblr thrown in.

I think we've found the most grandiloquent person on reddit. But seriously, I think it completely negates your 'facts' simply because 4chan is filled with 'Memes' and 'YLYL' threads; while the underage users very rarely upload images such as gore that would create a desensitized and psychopathic mindset.

I perceive your response as asinine, egotistical and that you are thinking too deeply about something in order to make yourself appear smart.

I like the cut of your jib.

I regret reading the nonsense you posted here today.

Wasn't this argument used for video games also?

posted on Gawker.

By you.

source: I have in my possession, the following: functioning eyes and a functioning brain.

Do you think that the speed with which my post has been downvoted lends or takes away credence to or from my supposition?

Right, because this is all a devious ploy on my part to create a conspiratorial wormhole spanning a year and connecting Gawker and Reddit in an unholy union of anti-4chan propaganda and deception!

Or maybe it's just because your writing style is fucking identical to Muntanyer on Gawker.

Then you're a poor literary critic, because my writing style is nothing like the hyper-verbose poster on Gawker. Also, if I had wanted to deceive I could have written in any number of ways--your main gripe, it's clear, is that you're some sort of anti-intellectual.

Adorable.

your main gripe, it's clear, is that you're some sort of anti-intellectual

You really should at least take a moment to peruse someone's post history before you attempt such a blatant and, frankly, easily debunked ad hominem attack on them.

All I perceive is a suspiciously desperate attempt to change the topic to matters of no transcendental relevance--regardless of who wrote the comment (since no claim is made to official or professional authority) the comment should be allowed and be able to stand (or fall) on its theoretical and conceptual qualities and merits alone.

lol.

Also, you are now aware that I am completely hammered.

Just imagine how obvious your rhetorical games and obfuscation are to someone of my intellectual mettle when they are stone cold sober, and then consider the wisdom of ceasing your shenanigans.

No shenanigans, I find parallels and comment on them...perhaps next you'll be accusing me of also being (the ghost of) Lanza or Snowden for writing in an overly formal and precise fashion.

shhh...

it's time to stop posting.

Btw, I just did a google search, it appears the comment was actually originally posted on 4chan itself: http://archive.foolz.us/sp/thread/34096110/

I find parallels and comment on them

As do I. For instance, one parallel I find to be interesting is your comment

Facebook is the corporate intermediary of the Security State par excellence--no warrant required, just your clueless consent.

and Muntanyer's comment

Facebook is by its very nature an intelligence salience into the homes, lives, and minds of its users; its functionality in this regard may not be its primary purpose, but it is indissoluble from it.

Another fascinating parallel is your comment

and Muntanyer's comment

So yes. You are obviously Muntanyer.

Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't post your musings here. I'm simply saying that if you do, you should consider doing so in a less disingenuous fashion.

Adam Lanza's now-famous comments on a radio show interestingly also touched upon this issue, note that although his comments are much more general than the above they are clearly a description of a sort of acute psycho-societal entrapment, which he also specifies includes the sphere of the Internet: http://sandyhooklighthouse.wordpress.com/full-transcript-of-adam-lanzas-2011-radio-appearance/

Also important to note that Travis the Chimp was often given Xanax to help him deal with that "psycho societal entrapment" and, at the time of the attack, was hopped up on Xanax administered via tea.

Overdose or withdrawal from Xanax can cause hallucinations, rage, mania, psychosis. How did the vet and/or owner come to determine the correct dosage and/or withdrawal methodology of Xanax for the chimpanzee? (See also: killer whales on SSRIs and anti-anxiety medications.) How do doctors/parents determine the correct dosage/downstepped withdrawal for children and teens?

"Thinking of this society as the default state of existence is the reason why you think that humans would be "not well" for "no reason whatsoever.” Civilization has not been present for 99% of the existence of hominids, and the only way that it's ever sustained is by indoctrinating each new child for years on end. The "wellness" that you speak of is solely defined by a child's submission to this process... When civilization exists in a form where all forms of alienation (among many other things) are rampant... new children will end up "not well" in all sorts of ways. You don't even have to touch a topic as cryptic as mass murder to see an indication of this: you can look at a single symptom as egregious as the proliferation of antidepressants." http://www.newsweek.com/why-adam-lanza-did-it-226565

This comment by Lanza is also very interesting as he describes society itself as an incessant process of indoctrination requiring unconscious (self-)submission and entailing rampant and proliferative "alienation," including pharmacopic. Which again mirrors the original Gawker comment in its description of a sort of pincer dynamic of alienation: "the ultimate consequence of which can be fruition and externalization of mind-controlled rage fantasies, which are themselves purely real-life replays of the selfsame encoded violence they had unguardedly and unawarely been surrendering themselves to over a period of months, in some cases even years..."

Adorable.
