#TexasSchoolMassacre

1. Everyone connects guns to shooting culture in the West & yet no one connects the very urge of shooting innocent children to nihilism of thoughts, anarchy in life, & the breakdown of every structure which provides anchor & identity in life, is beyond me.

2. No one thinks that it is the inner emptiness, that it is the absence of an inner spiritual anchor that lets people do what happened in Texas.

3. No one thinks that the work of the professors and thinkers in the Western universities, arguing that there is no morality or ethics and these are just human conventions, is directly responsible for what happened in Texas.

4. No one makes the connection that it is the moral collapse of the West which is responsible for inhuman disasters like this.

5. No one makes the connection that it is the atomization of society & the victimization narrative that leads to this stage where everyone is a victim, for even as we speak people are arguing that the Texas child shooter was just 'sick' and that he was 'bullied' in school.

6. Just like Christianity gets away with the ultimate blame of every disaster like witch hunts, Inquisition, Conquest etc. every single time, so does modernity when any such disaster strikes.

7. And that is what we cannot let happen. For the modern philosophy of life is what has directly made this disaster happen and if we do not criticize it to prevent its spread we will soon have the school shootings in India too.
