How to prevent political violence? Exciting, peaceful activities: American Psychological Association says boredom may be driving rise in shootings and bombings

• In the last week, three acts of political violence shook the US
• Violent crimes have been on the rise across the country in recent years
• Meanwhile, a growing number of Americans feel their jobs and lives lack meaning
• A new American Psychological Association study examined the relationship between meaning-seeking, thrill-seeking and interest in political violence
• The study found that the more people sought out meaning, the more they tended to seek thrills and, in turn, be open to involvement in political violence
• The researchers suggest that peaceful but exciting opportunities could help redirect aimless thrill-seekers away from radical movements

It's not even about having sex. Most people who do shootings were severely isolated (from everyone) and bullied.

Wow, maybe it turns out that if alienate people from their labor, then each other, then take away everything that has historically held meaning, they don't give a fuck anymore and might get violent??? Surprise surprise

This political violence is the normie equivilant of going ER.

Well people without much of a meaning (in life (such as incels) are usually the same people that go ER. I wonder why....

Well let's just take away 80% of the male popularity life meaning (mating rights)

Living a life of solitude and rejection is pretty boring, no shit.

Psychologists are just astrologers with degrees

Well this is for political violence, which I can honestly see why this would be a factor (more nihilism and lack of meaning, though).
