      OK…

      Reeducation or incarceratin of zealots. Large investment in mental health. Prosecution of group’s and individuals that call for violence or have violent philosophies. Reduce access to weapons and materials. High bounties for reporting suspicious activity or behavior. Promotion / enforcement of a homogeneous society.

      None WILL be done. Many are undesirable. But they can be used to prevent. Does that help you?

        Yes absolutely. These are most definitely actionable and are also excellent conversational pieces that can be discussed further, which was all I wanted instead of outrage commenting basically.

        I think healthcare in general (including mental health) services would be hugely impactful to the general population.

        I also think our educational system is being eroded and a lot of kids are pushed away from continuing education (in any form, not just traditional university which fails a lot of people) in favor of blue collar work

        Now I’m not saying blue collar work is bad, but I do think continuing education is important, especially as our life expectancies are increasing. It’s important people stay educated and continue to practice things like the scientific process so that we don’t lose that information and become disinformation spreaders.

        Without solid education, we can’t possible expect a “bright” future imo.

        What did you mean about the homogenous society? In what ways? Looking forward to any examples/explanation you could give!

          In a homogeneous society, everyone has the same background. No differences of traditions, religions, art, music, etc. They all look roughly similar. They have no fuel to make another member into the “other”. As I understand, Iceland has something approaching this. I expect the Sentinalese do, to. The ways to get to this from a large and diverse society are, of course, appalling.

            Yeeeeeahhh, not sure if I agree with this one. To me it feels sort of lazy and skirts around the true nature of accepting people for who they are and learning to be more tolerant of people not exactly like us

            Sorta feels lazy to say, well let’s get rid of what makes us different/unique.

            Nature doesn’t really believe in the homogeneous, I don’t see why we should strive to make it so

              I agree. But you wanted (insisted) on solutions. Thorough and complete genocide eliminates all opponents. Very few of my suggestions are desirable. Diversity with ignorance, inequality, and poverty breeds distrust and resentment - leading to civil strife. This is elementary.

              I think the resistance you are getting on this thread is due to an overly naive view of “solutions” combined with a bit of unintentionally arrogant phrasing. You seem to want to discuss at a high level while ignoring the complexity of the problems involved. You strike me as young and thoughtful, with good intentions - but still inexperienced. Ease back on the pressure - no one owes you an answer. This (and all anonymous forums back to Usenet) is a crowd of semi-hostile strangers with nothing to lose. If you want engagement you need to sell yourself as worth engaging first.

                I agree, maybe I’m a bit too gung-ho, but to say that I’m ignoring the complexities of the problems is pretty ignorant and, ironically, hypocritical of you.

                In fact, I’ve repeatedly mentioned the complexity behind what the police have to do and what they’re supposed to be doing, and the complexities of threats both foreign and domestic.

                You strike me as older and more on a high horse than I do in this last comment here specifically. To assume I’m incapable of understanding the complexities of the world around me, solely based off perceived age, is no less ignorant/presumptuous.

                Have a good day.
