Alright anons, here's a theory for you on the [shooters].
The kids are in standardized industrial schools that are completely feminized, the girls are empowered and the boys are marginalized. Typical boy behavior is punished. Boys that behave in an aggressive or dominant manner are identified and set up for "counseling".
In addition, many, many of the kids are living a homelife that is a disaster that is the result of mom divorcing dad, with plenty of pain and a feeling of powerlessness. Children, after all, are treated as chattel property in a divorce. This is especially traumatic for boys as they are confronted with the real-world power dynamic that the women are in control and men are cannon fodder.
All their unhappiness eventually comes out on one level or another and may result in getting caught up in "the system" of mental health. Next stop, the school counselor or contracted counseling service depending on the school district.
The counselors administer various tests and make subjective diagnosis of whatever "mental illness" is in vogue, which is followed by drug therapy. Any form of SSRI results in behavioral changes.
Any further acts of antisocial behavior results in disciplinary action and further calls for treatment. At some point the kid is placed in a program by well-meaning parents and the kid is turned over to the clowns for TREATMENT.
What follows is THERAPY that uses drugs, hypnotism and pain to create a dissociative state that breaks the mind into multiple "alters" which can then be programmed. This process can be done over the course of a period of 6 months with weekend visits to an inpatient facility or several times a week as an outpatient. Once the process is complete, the target/subject has had their mind broken and programmed.
The major point of contact after that is via cell phone and alters can be triggered to come to the surface for further training/programming/interrogation about the subject's life. Further hypnotic training can be accomplished. This process can be continued for months or years and the target/subject has their training regularly reinforced via cell phone contact with occasional THERAPY sessions to "help" the child, assess drug therapy, etc.
The surface personality that is normally in control of the target/subject will largely remain the same, but when triggered an alter can take control and carry out instructions. This could be years after the initial TREATMENT.
After the individual has been hypnotically induced hundreds of times and the triggers are well established, the target is susceptible to rapid inducement into a hypnotic state by a trigger which could be delivered via text, phone call or social media. From that point an alter can be called up to take control and carry out programming.
So, how could we match up [shooters] with past THERAPY?
