Even if he was an "incel," I think they have cause and effect backward. He seems like a textbook psychopath from what I've seen. So his "interpersonal problems" likely stem from that.

Aren't psychopaths rather charming and good socially?

Those would be sociopaths.

I thought psychopathy and sociopathy were the same with the only difference being whether it was caused by nature or nurture respectively.

No, they are made up legal terms that generally have little concrete meanings and are shaped mostly by public usage.

The most common difference is a psychopath is crazy, while a sociopath is cold. One is unable to function in normal society, while the other is able to succeed easily because they lack empathy.

The "cause" part has no bearing on them, because you can pick easy examples of either for both "born this way" and "made this way."

Based on what I read about him he seemed to do okay socially in his grad program. Not necessarily charming but he doesn't seem like the typical socially inept incel. It sounds like the FBI agent is either lying or cherry picking evidence as FBI agents are wont to do. If the guy was an actual incel they would have found it in his internet history as blasted it on every MSM site. The fact that it didn't go down this way is telling.

Practically everyone who met him described him as a creepy weirdo. That's true of a lot of autistic-spectrum type people though (Michael Burry of The Big Short said he had no friends in college, for example).

Not sure exactly but I heard he went away for awhile/ got psych treatment or something and came back totally different. Then he stalks and murders a bunch of people. I don't believe in MK Ultra but at this point I'm starting to consider the possibility of this stuff. I bet he was on SSRIs too.

Serial killers/Psycho murderers are almost exclusively an American phenomenon and there has to be a reason why. Crazy extra-legal gov. org mind-control experiments? Who knows.

Was about to mention SSRIs. I'd actually bet he was either on them or had been on them, though. Withdrawal is often what really gets you, I've heard.

Also, MK Ultra is fact; it was a real program, there's plenty of documentation. How well it worked or whatever is another issue, or if it's still going on, but "MK Ultra" itself is/was a real thing.

No way lol. Plenty of examples of foreign serial killers and the most active child murderer lived in South America.

as FBI agents are wont to do.

No doubt, but its worth pointing out that this guy is a former agent and is a current media talking head, aka a whore paid to spout whatever opinion that the MSM wants.
