The Portland mass shooter has been identified as Ben Smith,44, who has a history of violence and has vocally talked about killing Antifa and BLM protesters in the past. He became more radicalized over the last 2 years and is a fan of Andy Ngo.(This is older photo w/out beard)1/ pic.twitter.com/KxyGIGdbq8— John #ProtectThackerPass (@Johnnthelefty) February 22, 2022
Andy NGO radicalizing the shooter and then attacking the victims should be the story. If there ever was a case of stochastic terrorism, this is it. If the press actually did what they claim they do, they would laser focus on him and hound him into hiding.
(Emotionally/Aesthetically I have a problem understanding this process, similiar to Trumpism: how does Ngo, a dude so soft, unmasculine and whiney, a dude whose whole thing is to be humiliated on camera, inspire generic reactionary toxic masculine tough guys to violence?)

Considering the school shooters that are celebrated, is it even true that they really look towards the hyper masculine physical aesthetic? If anything, I feel like the whole 'chad' phenomenon is ironic within these circles. They seem to tolerate 'alpha' males in an envious manner, something to aspire towards, but because they feel that they can't, something to also hate. I feel like that is more likely to make them relate to this guy who you perceive to be alienated precisely just like you.
I was thinking of the Proud boys/Militia Movement guys NGO works with usually. And those guys try very hard to be hypermasculine.
I guess the actual mass shooters so far are instead part of the abjectly lonely internet culture on the right, people so toxic the leaders can barely even wink at them.

This guy was also a furry, so probably not the most hard line manly masc to begin with.
God dammit

I think they just want the content, vibes, and validation. Messenger isn't super important
