The trend of murder-suicides has gone up quite a bit, too. There's something especially monstrous about someone murdering strangers, exes, or their own family before killing themselves, the entire "you're coming with meeeeeeeeeeeeee" aspect of it.
I wouldn't blame someone for finding this to be a dumb comparison, but I think it's surprisingly appropriate. It's an opportunistic attempt at satisfaction motivated by the prospect of being freed of all personal responsibility (and perhaps the lack of internalizing that you can't be smugly satisfied if you're dead), just stimulating some nerves for the sake of it, others be damned.

The common feature of a reactionary is the desire to abdicate their responsibilities to society and humanity.
I like to ride that line between dumb and surprisingly appropriate
