[...] Violence is the result of traumatic childhood, poverty, mental disorders, etc. [...]

We definitely should be asking why the powers that be ignore poverty and mental health.

Better question would be why the voters ignore them, in the context of societies where - as one cynic put it - "the people get exactly the leaders they deserve" by way of the ballot box...

I apologize for changing topics a bit, but, as shown in - not one - not two - but three memes in my most recent meme video, I question whether representative democracy is a legitimate democracy. As a LibSoc, with very scant few ideological differences from an anarchist, I'm in favour of some kind of direct or semi-direct democracy, with the power structure being bottom-up, rather than top-down (like it is in representative democracies, as well as dictatorships). It's such hierarchical top-down systems that cause oppression, division and group hate (however you want to define that last bit).
But I digress.

EDIT:
Before you ask:
In that video, it's memes 1, 2 and 8.

BV, give it a rest with self-promoting your meme videos. It's okay in the Cafe or the Discord, but no place else on the site.

To say nothing of how off-topic your views on representative democracy, which to the best of my knowledge Their Story isn't about. So maybe next time you want to apologize for changing topics, maybe hit the back button instead and don't.

Yeah, understood. Now, what I'm about to say isn't really a defence, but more of an explanation of myself - often I tend to change topics due to real-time word association. The fault's all mine and while I can control it to an extent, it seems to be an unfixable problem. I'll try to keep it an in-thoughts-only thing as much as I can (and honestly I actually did/do so for the majority of stuff; I've lost count of how many times I had such mental rounds of real-time word association just from reading or merely thinking about these forums...).

Maybe some sort of self-imposed exile is in order... Can't punish me if I punish myself first!

Wow, this was the best chapter yet even though it has nothing romantic in it.

How is it not part of the story? Does this manga have a plot I am unaware of?

Well the author doesn't tag it as SQ which is the tag use for the strip usually so it's technically not part of the story.

I pointed that out a few pages ago but it was easily missed within all that discussion. Everything originally gets posted to her Weibo account along with her other non-SQ strips but she will tag relevant chapters with SQ.

I have friends, but I don't wipe hands on them, so I'd just suggest doing the same thing as I am and wipe them either with a cloth rag or a towel or into your clothes.

Never wash your hands, obviously. :^)
