Paragraphs dedicated to incels in annual Secret Service Mass Attack in Public Spaces report go from 1 to 4.

[AnonAutist]

FYI: every year a bunch of criminologists/sociologists publish a report on mass attacks in public spaces in the USA, for the Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center. In the 2018 report published August last year incels (and ostensibly related MRA groups) had one paragraph dedicated to them. Now in the just released report on 2019, incels get 4 paragraphs.

National Threat Assessment Center

The National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) provides research and guidance in direct support of the Secret Service protective mission, and to others with public safety responsibilities.

BELIEFS: While only two of the attacks were primarily motivated by an ideology, nearly one-third of the attackers (n = 8, 30%) appeared to have subscribed to a belief system that has previously been associated with violence. Often the attackers’ beliefs were multifaceted and touched on a range of issues, including white supremacy, anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories, sovereign citizens, animal rights, and the “incel” movement. Incels, or involuntarily celibates, are members of an Internet-based subculture of heterosexual males who view themselves as undesirable to females and therefore unable to establish romantic or sexual relationships to which they feel entitled.

Online Misogyny

While much of the extremist rhetoric espoused online is racially or ethnically based, another concerning online community involves men who use digital platforms to voice misogynistic views and general animosity toward women. Incels, a term referring to those who are involuntarily celibate, are mostly heterosexual males who view themselves as undesirable to females and therefore unable to establish romantic or sexual relationships, to which they feel entitled. Those who self- identify as incels have gravitated toward the Internet to promote their ideology.

In this report, two attackers shared traits consistent with incel ideology, including an intense animosity toward women. For example, one attacker often referred to women by derogatory slurs and, while in high school, had composed a “rape list” of girls who had turned down his advances. He also fantasized about sexual violence against women and had choked females on multiple occasions in adolescence.

Those tasked with assessing threats and preventing violence will benefit from familiarizing themselves with the incel movement. Special focus should be given to understanding the traits and terminology of this belief system, such as the “manosphere,” a term for the websites and digital forums on which these views are shared. While some discussions in the manosphere involve topics of “men’s rights” and “fathers’ rights” that sometimes dehumanize women, other discussions attempt to legitimize violence against women outright.

Another emerging philosophy, not only within incel and manosphere forums but also within forums related to far-right or alt-right communities, is the concept of “the red pill,” which was taken from a popular movie. The main character in that movie is given the choice between a red pill and a blue pill. Those who take the red pill choose to wake up to the harsh truths of reality, while those who choose the blue are shielded from the truth and remain oblivious and complacent. One attacker in this study referenced “redpill threads” in a post about his manifesto on 8chan before he killed one and injured three more at a synagogue.

There really is nothing to say, because of how cartoonishly dumb this is.

It's government boomers, what did you expect? They're still clinging onto ER for God sakes.

speaking negatively about women = violence against women
