I have my little theory that a big chunk of "people of Asperger's" are simply archetypes of traditional men. The modern world is unbearable to them, with its hyper-socialisation, its loud noises and bright lights. And this modern world is unescapable.
So generally they "burnout", but sometimes, with the addition of bullying or something else, they snap and fight back. That's how Ted Kacynski started bombing people and how others became school shooters.

I think it does. Its been proven when you are carrying a weapon such as knife, you're more likely to use it in a situation that doesn't warrant it.

>only the henchmen of the political class are armed

It would be nice if we didn't have a political class, but even in a neo-marxist society there will still to be people trusted to protect others with access to weapons. Weapons aren't even useful for revolution, revolutions happen when the military stops protecting the ruling class, not when a bunch of randroids decide to take over a government compound and holding out a few months before getting taken out.

Not sure, OP, but I know I sure wanted to shoot up a school after slogging my way through one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

He thinks he's hit this intellectual sweet spot where he can say anything he wants but really he is trapped by his irony and cowardice. Certainly there's nothing wrong with wielding humor, but it's extremely obvious that he is being disingenuous and defensive when he does. He may think it's low cost to build his persona around saying ridiculous things nobody can fully take seriously but it's only going to snowball and harm him in the long run.

We don't though. American citizens could've taken the guns off the police and military any time they wanted by voting democrat until they could get enough regulations past to restrict their use. The problem is, Americans have been brainwashed into thinking if everyone doesn't have guns the world will end. There is always going to have to be someone who decides who gets access to weapons and what a legitimate use for them is.

>overthrowing them will never be one of them.


I've said before, you can't overthrow the government with guns alone. You need the military to either allow you get to the political class or be on your side. Which typically happens once a large enough amount of citizens start rioting/protesting, because the military are going to have family members in that group and start to sympathize. Even if you don't have access to weapons, in the case of tyranny its still relatively straightforward to even the ground. The IRA still managed to fight the British government with bombs and so forth.

"Zkurvenec" is an alternative to "zkurvysyn" (lit. "son of a kurva").

While the base meaning is indeed "whore, prostitute", in Czech "kurva" can be used as a generic insult for anyone, males too. I guess "bastard" or "jerk" is an okay rendition in English. Zkurvenec/zkurvenec is then a more fancy way of saying that.

Americans have a shitload of them already, dont they? Musk just sold 20k flamethrowers. I mean, why not just give up guns once the revolution is over? Inb4 we might get a tyrannical government like USSR and then we'll need them again. That's why the left needs a good plan instead of just overthrowing the state and then installing the new bourgeoisie and a dictator.

If anything they understand it better because they experience it's detrimental effects. They understand feminism as it is practiced rather thanks an academic exercise.
> If you're seriously so fragile that considering how women have been oppressed and disadvantaged in the past and talking about how they still are makes you violent enough to kill a bunch of random, then you deserve a fucking bullet through your brain seriously
This line of rhetoric has always confused me. What exactly is fragile about standing up to state sponsored ideology, and why exactly are you not fragile when you break under its weight and submit to it. And when called out it you resort to calls to violence because dissent must be suppressed at any cost.
That being said, have you ever considered the flaw in your oppressed-oppressor conflict paradigm? If these non oppressed conditions drove men to such extremes, they may be worse than you think. And if those conditions of oppression did not elicit such a response from women, maybe they weren't that bad after all. The term "oppression' means nothing other than the shallow moralization of a condition by those with agendas. It says nothing about whether that those conditions are just or not as it purports to.
You're the scum of the earth and all the "oppression" that has ever occurred would not cause the suffering you deserve.

Why is no one addressing the fact that school shootings are mainly a problem in the United States and they do not seem to happen anywhere else despite how accessible weapons are in a given country?
Why do they blame it on white people or make it a race problem when it is much likely to be a cultural problem?

The United States are facing a epidemy of psychological illnesses nowhere recorded before in history: both the form and the frequency of these is unprecedented.
The problem is not guns: people have easy access to guns in other countries and yet kids shooting each other is not something that happens.
The problem is not race: other countries have coexisting races in them and yet none of them feel the need to go on a killing spree in high schools.

The point is that US culture is sick: the United States are a 10 million square kilometers of nihilistic desert, where there is literally nothing to do beside eat and fuck, and where no notion of meaning has been associated to life beside that of pleasing yourself since the birth of the country.

The US sickness is unparalleled, it is a black plague of the mind. The only way to stop it from spreading is severing the gangrened limb that is the United States and leave it rot by itself into the apocalyptic wasteland it already is in the mind of those living there.

We must detach ourselves from their culture, or we'll be infected with the same disease that is destroying them.

He likens these dudes to Cain, and I don’t find that illogical. It’s an individual who’s in the habit of holding a grudge in a retarded, incommensurate and unrelenting way.
Like when someone cuts you off in traffic and you’re still angry about it two days later, and you hope the fucker’s children die.
It’s just an attitude, and if it’s your go-to response for everything then you end up being a mass shooter.
It’s the contrary of meditating, where instead of trying to feel peace you empower yourself by imagining the most destructive shit possible.
There’s no mental treatment for it, because it’s not illness, it’s a dude needing to not want to hate the world. And no amount of legislation will help with it either, because again, it’s not like these people won’t find other ways to do this.

Nice simpleton way of not having to think about why he did it.

That's too simplistic, you can't legislate it away, but family, community, religion, and any other myriad of social institutions that are being abolished and corrupted would stop retarded social development.

these guys always want things like respect, authority, sexual conquest and so on but they don't have the balls to actually accomplish anything or even give it a good try. an actual traditional male would struggle to close the gap between himself and his fantasy of himself by facing adversity whereas these guys just sit there and cry that the world isn't spontaneously conforming to their will, like eric harris whining in his journal that his schoolmates don't see him as an authority figure (despite having done nothing to deserve respect) or elliot rodgers insisting that girls should simply approach him and beg to be fucked because he's sitting at a park bench reading a book. these guys aren't even stuck in adolescence, they're stuck in infancy: opening their mouth and waiting for a nipple. but the nipple isn't coming so they just grow more and more frustrated, more and more afraid.

in this context the actual attack is not some gesture of finally taking control but in fact the ultimate act of cowardice. they shoot because it is, at that point, the easiest thing for them to do. think about how much of a pussy you have to be to find women so terrifying it's easier for you to shoot one than to ask her out. that's what rodgers was in the end, more afraid of a woman's attention than of violent death. imagine that.

Why do autists always talk about themselves in the third person and in a dis-associative manner?

Why does he even claim the shooter was white.

It’s simple, but I don’t see any other common reason for all these people to be doing these things.
With things like spousal abuse or petty theft, we don’t need a two page thesis to make sure your kid doesn’t behave that way. We know that there are ways to teach them not to be.
But when your kid has an exaggerated angry reaction to something that doesn’t warrant it, the parents don’t say anything. Then on top of it, they usually put a political agenda on their minds so they’ll even be angry at shit they have no control over, and they’re also ostracized because they have hostile/immature personalities.
I don’t know if there’s something here I’m missing, I just believe the first step would be to monitor children (as parents) specifically so they don’t turn up like this.

I was agreeing with his general statement, not saying that it is the cause of mental plague of the US.

While I do believe Europe has its own problems, we are nowhere near to the US.
Look at school shootings.
Look at the percentage of mental conditions related to addiction (especially opioids) which is higher than in countries where people can buy them legally in pharmacies.
Look at the phenomenon of people living in their cars surviving on part time jobs with the sole aim of having something to eat, which is statistically higher in America than anywhere else on the planet. Not even in poorer country people choose loneliness as a way of life. Even the most miserable human beings, in a moment of difficulty, tend to seek the help of others: the american is so disconnected from reality that he has become incapable to do this.
Look at bad news on the media, to which the average american watcher is incapable to react with even the slightest sign of empathy. Again, there are statistics on the fact that Americans show less sign of empathy toward news like that of school shooting than almost every other person on the planet. Even in countries who are at war, where death is a daily event and you supposedly grow accustomed to it, people show more empathy than the average American does.

There are countries that have politics far worse than yours, and yet none of them, not even the ones supposedly under dictatorships (China, Russia) show the level of disquiet and proclivity to new kinds of mental illnesses shown by the United States.

It is because of your way of life. And the extremely frightening things for an external observer is that instead of addressing that problem you'd rather say that it is a race, or a left v. right problem and fight each other - and kill each other - in the name of scapegoat ideologies.
All this because you'd have to face how disgustingly sick you are, how much living like you did have deformed yourself into sub-humans.

In that case his shooting has nothing to do with the things kantbot describes.

I agree with this sentiment, and I believe it’s because we’re so economically minded and materialistic that we assume people won’t give us the time of day unless we somehow pay them.
