Dec. 6 is the anniversary of Marc Lépine’s misogynistic assault on École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989. On that day, Mr. Lépine entered a classroom armed with a semi-automatic rifle. He asked all the men to leave and then opened fire. He murdered 14 women and wounded another 14 people before taking his own life.

The day before the anniversary, Mr. Rochefort posted an altered photo depicting Mr. Lépine with an assault rifle in front of a group of women, telling his readers that Dec. 6 “should be a day when we remember the first counterattack against the femin*zis’ war on men.” In August, 2022, he was convicted of inciting hatred toward women.
Some incidents of incel violence have started to be treated as acts of terrorism, and the Canadian governemtn IIRC has recently considered treating the incel "movement" as a domestic terrorism threat.
Strange to think that they, Qanon, and 4chan will probably be in history books.
But yeah people pivot to extremist ideologies (both right and left) as society around them collapses. We are living in 1920’s Germany and Italy rn. The only silver lining is that as much as fascism is growing popular in the US, so too is leftism, to certain extents. People always leave out that the growth of Nazism and fascism was in large part a reaction to the growth of communism and trade unionism.

But nowadays the growth of Nazism is a reaction to the failures of their own making
the first growth of fascism spawned entirely to combat liberalism instead of communists.
I fucking hope so
