Shade of idiot Jack Thompson with brain worm here.
this is so obviously false it’s enfuriating coming from the head of HHS. Lots of coutnries all over the world have the same violent video games we do without the mass shootings.

Can’t risk hinting that the policies that they push directly lead to the material conditions that cause these shootings.

When you are trying to avoid the most obvious solutions at all costs, you gave to recycle the greatest hits.

Crime in the US peaked in 1993… when Doom first came out. Then it started dropping until recently.
Conclusion: violent video games cause a drop in crime.
untorquer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
But it peaked the same year Doom came out. Obviously Doom was the cause of the peak!
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Doom is a game made by a cultist where the player goes to hell to interact with demons!!!

It's called the 'Gish Gallop.'
The best way for the Right to defeat the Left in an argument is to unload a torrent of lies, half truths, complete nonsense, and other disinformation. The idea is to overwhelm the other side's ability to form a coherent response, because there's too much to unpack.
Trump knows Kennedy is an idiot, but he's a useful idiot in that he forces the Left to deal with him.

Same reason any other politician is on the news. Because unfortunately they dictate our collective plight as Americans.

Because they control the country and people should know what they are doing. It’s not that complicated.

You mean the same dumbass that blames an ingredient that hasn’t been in vaccines in over 20 years for Autism, an ingredient that has never been shown to cause autism in the first place? Does anyone actually take this jackass seriously?

I played a lot of Pac-Man and now I’m munching for pills in dark rooms while listening to repetitive music. It’s true, I love techno parties. Joke, I barily ever played Pac-Man.
I also played a lot of age of empires. Now I annoy everyone with “whololoooo” all the time. Joke, no I don’t.

Hear me out…James Tiberius Kirk was supposed to be a descendant of Charles Aswipe Kirk. Slowly these photos will fade away and be replaced by photos of Christopher Pike.

Oh jeez, I glad they didn’t have video games in 1914, otherwise they might have killed a bunch of people!

RFK Jr do better…Tylenol killed 7 people in the 90s, Kirk was obviously killed by Tylenol.

Only someone completely disconnected from the rest of the world could take this argument seriously. Every country on the planet has access to violent video game, but somehow we have the most gun violence outside of a war zone in the world. But clearly it’s the video games. 🤦♂️
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s straight disinformation. Nevermind that everyone else plays the same games, let’s cherry pick the one western nation that has a comparable number of guns per capita and not think about that any further.

I agree. Those who miss out on playing violent video games, end up resorting to real life violence later.

rozodru@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Remember when Coloumbine happened and politicians started blaming DOOM (a several year old game at that point) and Quake? Hell didn't they also try to blame the Matrix simply because the shooters were wearing trench coats? meanwhile the film came out like what? one or two weeks before the shootings?
Politicians just LOVE their scapegoats.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m pretty sure the mass shootings are just emulation of the mass violence the ultrarich inflict on everyone on a daily basis.
I hope the shooter’s name is Mario Brother
