As you may know there have been a variety of background for mass shooters.
A woman shot up google headquarters when youtube demonetized her videos:

A trans person shot up their school:

And there's so many mass shootings in gangland in chicago you can't even list them all out.
But the press likes to push only the ones that meet their man-hating narrative - when the shooter is a white man - like recently:

Apparently this is his reddit post history:

**Of the last 24 posts he made - 12 of them were to one of reddits protected man-bashing hate subs - **IncelsInAction.
The sub description of itself:
This sub is for mocking the antics of anyone who identifies themselves as "incel." This is a term popularised on Reddit and 4chan meaning "involuntarily celibate" i.e. men who can't get laid. Some of them get really really mad about it, and here are their stories...
...
Incels who comment in here can expect to be relentlessly mocked by this community. If you don't like it, don't post here.
Did reddit's protection of it's anti-male subs contribute to this shooting?
It seems a lot more plausible than the banned "men going their own way" sub.
Go on then. What are you waiting for?
That's an absurd demand even by your standards.
Not at all.
I respect the radical muslim, even though I don't agree with them, because their beliefs are congruent from the cultural level down to the level of individual action.
A radical muslim believes that you are a heretic. And that if they trade their life to end yours, they will be celebrated as a hero and rewarded by their god.
I respect that. I think it's absurd, stupid, and tragically wasteful, but it's CONGRUENT and it isn't cowardly.
You say deus vult. Well, I say, if you adopt that stance and don't yourself run out, put on a crusader's cross and start converting by the sword, well, you're not living by your beliefs.
MY beliefs as I have said before elsewhere are total pacifism. I'm a quaker. But I have more respect for people who LIVE by their violent beliefs than those who simply TALK their violent beliefs hoping someone else will do the dying for them. That's just cowardice.
That is not what the Crusaders did. They took territory.
I never said that others should do anything. I did express what I think. And I also know that individual action is ineffective at best and most likely to be counterproductive.
