    Dude clearly has delusions of grandeur, but the fuel being fed into that is far right ideology. In a sense, he just acted on what right wing rhetoric says is the ideal.

        Too far gone to organize, sure, but this is exactly the guy wingnuts and feds (same-picture) love to wind up. This is who the whole strategy of stochastic terrorism is aimed at.

        They celebrate teenagers going on mass shootings killing children and old people going shopping or Muslims praying. This is an extension of that depravity. It may not advance their agenda, but random violence is acceptable to them as a compromise.

            It's funny that you mention the siege nerds. After a good chunk of them got arrested or killed, some of the main guys decided to just silently drop all the satanic stuff and move on to MMA camps lol

        i'm going to say the odds his family sees this post on HexBear is quite low. Almost non-existent.

              Yeah, just seemed unnecessary. Words like that when directed towards people with mental illness is problematic.

              There's no doubt what he did is shocking and devastating, but perpetuating loaded, stigmatized language in relation to mental illness is part of the equation when it comes to treatment avoidance.

                This level of psychosis is so far removed from common onsets of mental illness that it is a diservice to associate this person with mental illness. The rate of people with psychotic episodes is 60x less than the rate of people with depression. Of the psychosis group only a fraction of that group expresses their psychosis through violence. Fuck this guy and the rhetoric surrounding this as a mental health failing. He is a monster and an asshole. Stuff like this being associated with mental health only serves to stoke reinstitutionalization and worsen stigma.
