When I was a child, I remember how I felt that an hour a week was played in the video game “Space invaders” in Arcadia, it was a sinful chase, without real growth. I knew intuitively that I was better in the park that plays in baseball or basketball. Over time, I managed to fight initial dependence. For comparison, today’s video game, internet and buffet on social networks feel both gluttony – exciting and unhealthy for the body and for the soul.
We do not know the exact role played in video games and immersion in social media in the deterioration of 22 years of age Tyler Robinsonallegedly killer of a conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But we know he was imbued with this world.
Terrific events last week are more than enough to warn us that we underestimate the influence of social media as well as violent video games such as “Helldivers 2.” The game received the award last year, despite the fact that it was a satire of the fascist multi-glaxic empire. Unfortunately, the link to this game appears to have appeared in the inscriptions found in Robinson’s rifle.
As Alice Finley wrote The Wall Street Journal This week, in a shrewd work, aptly called “Tyler Robinson and Lost Boys in America”: “Marinchans on Internet Yas cannot be useful for young and malleable male minds. Can kill the villains in video games desensitize conscience? Scoundrels, in the video game desensitizing conscience?
But they are really lost in cyberspace. They are indeed and remain in dissociative reality, which impedes social interaction and moral development.
In March 2025. FBI He warned the public about the growing network of operational online media for young people. The Internet Complaint Center wrote: “These networks exist on publicly available internet platforms, such as social media sites, game platforms and mobile applications that are commonly used by young people … These violent subjects are guided and forced to participate in the escalation of harmful behavior designed for shame.”
Really, those who have a tendency to Mental illness are the most easily focused on operation. Recent studies show that adolescents who spend three hours or more a day on social media have a double risk of anxiety or depression.

Many studies have shown that most children and adolescents who are heavy users of social media feel worse. And here is no strong difference between video games and social media. All this part of the internet presence is the saturation of virtual reality, which is a sabotage, but also an insulation, the last that is growing baby, teenage and young adult needs.

What to do with this
By the time someone is 22-year-old, a parent can do like Robinson, but there is still a lot of time.
Last year we had already called when Luigi Mangion27, which had experience in developing video games, was accused of killing Brian Thompson, CEO of Unitedhealthcare.

The restrictions should be posted on social media, using mobile phones and the Internet, and on video games. Parents should give an example by limiting their own screen and interaction in social media.

Dinner should be sometimes for open discussion, including topics such as kirk murder, which should not be outside. But the focus should be on more positive emotions – kindness, care, compassion and courage – all through the same emotional centers of the brain as fear and hatred.
The consequences of such a terrible event as this one can become a time for expressing faith and the union mourn. This is the worst time for further division and political attacks, which are also contagious.
