Your reminder that having disenfranchised young men with nothing to lose in your society is like keeping kindling next to a munitions factory and has never ended well.

It’s kind of like a Maslow’s hierarchy of needs but for a society. If your higher needs are only being met at the expense of your lower needs it’s all going to come crashing down.

The lower needs in this case are channeling the energies of those that can commit the most violent atrocities away from committing violent atrocities and into something constructive like jobs and families.
