Heidegger, in turn, took God’s metaphorical death as an opportunity to insist that no one believe in anything. In practice, the Heidegger-led revolution against reality, against truth, against everything has led to the formation of a societal ethos that offers its citizens nothing substantive, nothing beyond immediate and material satisfaction.

This is the TRUTH that the Leftist Progressives live in.

If there is no God then all is permitted.

If there is no God, we will be gods. We will tell the people what is right and what is wrong. It will be our commandments that will rule the people’s lives.

If there is no God then who will judge? We will.

And they expect with no eternal judgement that their rules will contain the rath of a young man who sees no future for himself.

But in many ways Europe is more godless than the US, yet they don’t have anywhere the level of this type of violence. So there must be other or additional factors at play.

‘If there is no God then all is permitted.’

radical Muslims fervently believe in the Abrahamic God; I’ve not noticed much restraint in their barbarity due to that belief...

I don’t think threats of future fire and brimstone are going to stop a young man willing to die at the hand of immediate antagonists...
