... for his astute selection of targets at the WHCA-Dinner.

Jeez,.. like this Luigi Mangione,.. the younger guy who shot the insurance executive.

Both these young men have premium advanced learning degrees from prominent schools of higher learning.

But threw their lives away and turned their backs on promising professional careers. They could have lived comfortable lives and been set financially to cover their needs.

All because they had anger management difficulties that were manifested by solutions employing very violent means to resolve issues they vehemently disliked and found distasteful.

Does American society cultivate young men prone to violence - in the quest to make boys into macho manly men. Hyper toxic masculinity is very detrimental if we have any hopes to construct and build a more civilized - more harmonized society, as we struggle to live in peace together. We need to lessen, limit, and consciously control the level of venom, hatred for the others, and the enforcement of hand combat or gun violence as the go to solution to all our day to day problems.

Nurturing our young 13 year old boys, about to become men, by handing them a real Uzi machine gun as a token to recognize their coming adulthood might not be the best approach or method to celebrate their coming maturity from boys into men.

We seem to be incubating the monster of toxic masculinity in the effort to promote and encourage manliness from our boys and young men. Then unleashing this monster into our society as we incessantly and frantically must run around cleaning up the horrific messes that they make.

As a culture and a society we must fashion a reasonable and genuine remedy to break this endless cycle of permissible and encouraged use of violence, as a means to prove manhood. Hand to hand combat or gun violence can not be commonly used as the prime vehicular motif to solve our day to day difficulties and problems.

We have enough Pete Hegseths, Kash Patels, Marky Billy Joe Bob Wayne Mullens, Stephen Miller's, Sebastián Gorkas, and Donald J Trumps wandering the streets.

How/Why is America so proficient at producing such damaged men and defective human beings ? Then we allow these vile creatures to march around freely as they masquerade around as our leaders.

This is so incomprehensible and unfathomable that we travel deeper and deeper into this abyss of toxic masculinity,... absent any rapid change in course, direction, or destination.

As our Democracy circles the drain and slowly crumbles to an eventual death, where Fascism now reigns supreme.
