With social media and online dating, there are more and more single guys out there who are lonely and feel left out by the world.
Divorced or absent parents make them feel unwanted. They don’t have a purpose in life anymore. They want to go out with a bang taking as many people as they can. They want to commit suicide but some at the last minute like the Walmart guy decide not to. The Ohio guy went out,
80/20 rule in every category here as well. For example, 80% of the chicks even the ugly fat ones want only the top 20% guys out there until the chicks are over 30-35, so all these young guys have nothing going on,
You didn’t really see mass shootings until the 1970s, because everyone had a nice looking girl back then. The world is changing for the worse.

This seems to be the common theme in the answers. Probably right. Parents letting their little shits do what they want and just live their life on their electronics. Dad's don't exist for most shooters that are common in urban areas.

Catering to extremists through social media.
Consistent cuts to social services under multiple administrations. And not just mental health services. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these people have a history of abuse but fell through the cracks of social workers holding 200 cases instead of 20.
I do find it interesting that majors like Psychology get shite all over in threads here as a “bunk major” yet the complaint is we don’t have enough facilities or therapists to deal with the issue.

Disregard for human life, lack of compassion towards others
Figure out how these two qualities have become engendered in people and there is your answer. It's not guns, knives, bombs; it's not lack of mental health treatment; it's not drugs or alcohol; it's not politics.
Somehow, someway, no one cares about his fellow man/woman.

If anything, the video games actually prevent more events like this because people can vent out within the video games like GTA 5.

A certain percentage of the population experience loliness and they crave attention. Mental illness: 1 % ( 1 in 100 people develop schizophrenia during their lives). Delusions, hallucinations and paranoia.
Social media is where folks can be recognized for achievements that were never earned. Attention seekers who cry outward for help. Combine drugs into these factors and sometimes a crazy person thinks killing people and themselves will show the world that their hurting lives matter. Morally wrong but desperate souls don’t care. They need approval , weather good or bad, they need attention in some form.

I’ll get downvoted for this, but it’s a lack of respect for human life that comes with a more secular society. Life isn’t valued or respected as it once was. Lots of reasons for this. Too many snow flakes to address them tho.

Incels. The internet has fed life into the weak little pussies and they take their anger out on random people.
We need bullying again. Put these kids in their place early and they will change from the weird insolent beings they become. I was a weird kid. Got bullied. Changed. Bullying made me normal.

I think that people who feel that they "don't fit in" view a mass shooting as a way to get revenge on the society that's shunned them.

Bullying is part of the reason Columbine happened. Stop trying to act like an internet hard arse and think about what you're saying

Among the factors already mentioned, I think the digitalization of our daily lives has likely contributed.
Like you said, guns aren’t new and crazy people aren’t new. But what is new is the ease with which people can internally minimize the existence of others. That rise has come as a direct result of a life spent with a screen in front of our face, adding an extra layer of disconnect between people.
When you grow up viewing humans as simply being screen names and profiles it’s a whole lot easier to ignore that they are, in fact, human beings. Which I imagine would make taking those lives a whole lot easier.
Just my opinion, but I think this might very well be dead on target. We as a society have lost our humanity and sense of brotherhood with our fellow man. We don’t see people as real living beings any longer. They’re just a username and avatar.
And along with this, let’s look at how we interact with one another online now. In addition to not interacting with people face to face, our online interactions are increasingly hostile and filled with hate toward one another. Our hearts are filled with malice and hate. So not only have we lost our sense of humanity as a society, we’ve also lost our civility and love for one another. I referenced this the other day, but again I’m reminded of a passage from the book of Romans Chapter 1:
quote:
29Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. 31They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. 32They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
I think, and this is just my opinion, what lays at the root of this is that we as a society have turned our back on God so he has turned His back on us.
Let the downvotes commence.

The ease of access in which unstable people are able to affirm their beliefs with other unstable people.
That is what was missing before the internet.

Social media and other places for line minded nutjobs to mingle.
Before it was all lone loose cannons. Now every one of them usually has a manifesto on some site somewhere.
So I say mental illness plus social media is a big problem.
Pre 80s they had places to put the crazies.
This. All of this. Good post.

but what have we lost?
Humanity and common sense.
Family unit (mostly a strong father AND nurturing mother in their life), self discipline, God consciousness, a lack of personal accountability, and all that which causes humans to regulate their own behavior. The absence of these things IMO causes a breakdown in society, and some are worse than others.
