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

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.
I think they just want the content, vibes, and validation. Messenger isn't super important
It was fucking insane seeing so many fascists coming out of the woodwork on this one. How far gone do you have to be to think gunning down innocent unarmed people is justified
They’re trying to claim that since he got shot after he shot 5 people it shows that ANTIFA are terrorists.
It's basically the Kyle Rittenhouse thing again, except just one step further where instead of having a gun pointed at him after killing people, he got shot after killing people.
They’ve stopped even pretending to care about “law and order”; even the most textbook self defense case is terrorism, just because it was their guy getting shot
Active whitewashing of Nazis by police and local media and the public's willingness to unquestioningly gobble it up is what jokerfied me in 2020. I want off Mr Bones Wild Ride
Well, he wanted to kill some "radical leftists" and shot a 60 year old lady. Now he gets to go to prison.
Hope he's happy.
