Killing very specific people that have wronged them doesn't make that person mentally ill. Killing random people is always mentally ill.
the point of killing random people is to hurt society on a psychological level.
if a mass shooter kills people who wronged him, people who hear about it can cope with the idea that those people "kinda deserved it"
if a mass shooter kills random people, people who hear about it are sad because "an innocent person lost their life"
@JosefMengelecel @Robtical @Colvin76 @Uglymuggly @ShadowTheEdgehog @Ropemaxx thoughts?
@hikicel this is just another case of selectively applied morality aka moral relativism.
It doesnt matter if the killer is a hired gun, a soldier or a gamer. Murder is murder.
What is interesting about the entire ER case and other shooters is the way society attributes guilt and weakness to school shooters while attesting heroism to some american sniper that murdered 300 16 year old goat hearders that wanted to protect their family in some third world shithole.
I think it is unquestionable that it takes massive courage to actually go out there, get a gun and pulll it off. There is no weakness in that, no cowardice. You are literally signing away your life, the chances of survival are nigh zero. How exactely is that cowardice?
Who are the people that bring forth this charge?
Exactely, its the same people that have a heart attack over some new soy sauce at mcdonalds, the same people that start crying when you say nigger, the same people that would kill you if they could, for saying "women bad".
its all just hypocrisy at the end of the day.
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

It is questionable if it damages society. In fact, in terms of moral signaling it just gives them a bigger bat to swing with.
I think it would make more sense to have a completely reasonable incel spokesman, someone who is unquestionably moral and ethically untouchable.
This does not mean that he has to be a saint, merely that he is honest and admits to his follies right away.
If you want to harm them, you have to become a shining beacon of everything they are not.
They will flee from the light like cockroaches.
Another thing that quite frankly irks me about mass shootings is how woefully ineptly they are executed and planned.
Anyone who puts more than 15 minutes into planning a mass murder would have to realize that a gun is a bad tool for the job.
Guns evolved out of the need for precise and direct killing during hunting sessions.
Just hypothetically, if I was to conduct a mass killing, I would not use a gun at all.
Instead I would think of the countless news stories that make the rounds every year, of 100s of people dying in disco fires for example.
I would just get myself a bit of magnesium, maybe a pound, and create small packages with a timer.
Maybe I would also make DIY thermite but it takes some energy to start.
Bottom line, that shit is impossible to extinguish once it burns, shit, it even burns underwater. And it burns in excess of 1000^C.
So I would just scout for a crowded location with few exits, get inside, drop my firebombs near the exists and leave.
I would expect a death toll between 100 and 300 people, assuming the news stories on disco fires are correct.
Again, just hypothetically, thats what someone with a brain would do if he was set on inflicting maximum damage.
Contrary to mass shooters, this would also inspire actual fear in people since they would become afraid of attending public gatherings.
This fear would further be supported by the gruesome nature of the associated death by suffocation and burning + the ease of access for the necessary materials (gasoline, magnesium, rust, aluminum dust etc...).
When you think about it like that, it is odd why mass shootings happen at all. Seems weird, almost like its staged on purpose to push a political agenda hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
