My Twisted World by the supreme gentleman Elliot Rodger is actually a pretty neat read. He is very candid about frankly embarrassing things that happened to him in his life and he seems to have no shame in admitting genuine beliefs he has which are delusional, such as his belief that he could write a novel which will be made into a movie in order to become famous, or that he would become a dictator by reading tons of books on politics after drinking Starbucks coffee. It's a comfy read if you're callous enough from browsing 4chan for years to appreciate the dark by unintended comedy of it. I love reading about insane people who turn really fucking weird due to delusion or isolation causing them to spiral away from reality. I don't think Rodger ever qualified as "psychotic" but he definitely had strong convictions about absurd beliefs, or at least claimed to and for the most part acted it out. I recommend any /lit/izen to read My Twisted World, you can find it free on

The worst part is that Rodgers was actually good looking for an incel, if he wasn't such a retarded sperg he could have had a girlfriend.

I read parts of it. From what I discerned he lacked self-awareness a bit, and had a grandiose image of himself. Most likely a narcissistic personality. However with that being said I think a large part of his alienation and what contributed to him finally cracking was his family. They really seem like terrible people all around especially his stepmom and father. They definitely played a role in driving his mental health off the edge. I kind of feel sorry for him but his actions are inexcusable. He had the potential and funds to pretty much do whatever he wanted. He wasn't hideous either. If he had worked hard at something whether it be film making or obtaining a solid career and some degree of success women would have naturally come along the way. A waste.

Also he literally incarnated this old meme if my memory serves me right; As he wrote about being afraid that shooting himself with only one gun would leave him not-quite dead, maybe only severely wounded or paralyzed. That's the reason why he went and purchased an additional handgun, because his plan was then to literally shoot himself with two guns at the exact same time, ensuring that he would not survive and be arrested by the police (he was really scared of getting arrested and put in jail). I guess that part of his plan worked out.

My favorite chapter was when he finally got the courage to go to a frat party. He saw his ideal women: tall blonde sorority girls. He said, "Hi," but in such a small voice that no one could hear him. Then he sat in a chair in a corner, with his beautiful face and expensive sunglasses, and waited for a tall blonde woman to ask to be his girlfriend. He waited for an hour but no woman came up to him to talk to him. He got so mad that he picked a fight with a fraternity brother.

>his prose isn't good enough
Yeah, this. While his propensity for melodrama is very much debatable in terms of its efficacy (I'll come back to this in a minute) in the end his very mediocre command of the language was what ended up defining it for me. I got bored pretty quickly of his prose, which flowed too poorly and with too little lyricality to justify the self indulgence of his writing style.

Re: melodrama and self indulgence though, I've got this pet theory that it actually was fiction, or at least loosely autobiographical fiction. I don't doubt that he drew heavily on his personal experiences, or that he was faking his reasoning, but what I do doubt is how much of Elliot Rodger the actual entity is on the pages he wrote. It's all just a little too consistent and neat in portraying the character who is ostensibly the protagonist. The question, I think, is how much of the melodrama was manufactured by Rodger for effect. People generally read his manifesto as if it's a spilled heart on paper, directly outlining everything the guy was with complete honesty. The problem is that human beings are capable of deception, and it's impossible to completely discard the idea that the manifesto could have been written as a shitposting work of fiction.

I think that this interpretation is less at odds with the facts of what we actually know about him objectively. Elliot Rodger was rejected again and again (in his head or in reality -- distinction unimportant for these purposes) to the point where he was so frustrated that he decided to go on a spree killing. Along the way, he probably developed other maladaptive behaviors and habits. My conjecture is that through these experiences of rejection, he learned the desire to hide his true self from others rather than expose it to more pain, and from this desire to hide comes this almost playful tonality in his writing. Rather than expose what he actually feels and who he actually is, he bloviates and obfuscates himself into this melodramatic caricature. In this way, he preserves his inner distance from the world and gives it a falsified version of himself to criticize, making it so that even in death he gets this final counter-rejection of the society which harmed him.

To me, it reads a lot more coherently if taken as fiction, where you get to step back and look at melodrama as an authorial device rather than a genuine expression.

The whole thing just makes more sense to me in this way. I do believe that Elliot genuinely felt wronged, and that he's reasons he illustrated weren't dishonest. He's got no reason to lie about those things. But I also believe that the person we are meant to see behind the writing is heavily falsified, which is interesting because he definitely wanted to express a person. The contrast is immediately apparent if you compare Elliot's manifesto to those of Breivik or Tarrant, whose works are heavily abstract and impersonal. To them, it's the ideas which are important.

We met a few times and emailed a lot. He seemed convinced that women hated him but he could never tell me why.

It seemed like he would perceive cruelness or hatefulness when in fact, I suspected, he was just being ignored.

I remember giving him an assignment once so he could try to establish some kind of dynamic with a woman.

I told him, "When you see a woman next time you're on campus and you like her hair or sunglasses, just pay her a compliment."

I told him, "It's a freebie, something in passing, you're not trying to make conversation. Keep walking, don't make any long eye contact, just give the free compliment." The idea being you might make a friend if you make someone feel good.

I said to Elliot, "In the next few weeks - if you see them they'll likely give you a smile - and you can smile back and eventually turn this into chit-chat."

I got in touch with him a few weeks later and asked if he did it. He said "no". And when asked why not, he said "Why do I have to compliment them? Why don't they compliment me?"

That's the 'anti-social' part through his narcissistic personality. His disconcertment with his dick size, his entitlement because of his looks, viewing white women as most desirable, are not discordant at all. You think a handsome guy doesn't expect women he's interested in to give it up?

>therapy that would've helped him
Maybe, maybe not. There's no therapy that has anywhere even close to a universal, short-lived benefit, much less a long-term one. Some people just can't be convinced to get better -- this is one of the hallmarks of a genuine, properly diagnosed personality disorder. Prisons are full of people like this, for whom there's currently nothing we can do to help, leaving only the option to physically separate them from society. The willingness to interact with any therapy is a basic requisite for it to work. Some people need to hit rock bottom to be able to gain any real insight into themselves. Elliot didn't want to do that, with obvious consequences. Suicide isn't actually hitting rock bottom, it's a getting-out in front of it, to prevent yourself from reaching that state of vulnerability and honestly with yourself -- the exact kind of honesty you need in order to really succeed with any therapeutic program.

Fair comment. I find people too easily condemning someone rather than understanding their experience, the way he gave meaning to his social life, when it takes an pathological direction. His whole shtick was feeling inferior to women or too inferior for them. With all his entitlement attitude there's a lot more about feeling inadequate, which to me seems much more pertinent to offer actual help to alter his experiences instead of being condemned, in my view.

I absolutely agree. Elliot Rodger had special needs. I don't mean that euphemistically, or derisively. The guy had needs that went beyond the norm, and he didn't get help with it early enough. By all accounts, he was very good at hiding it, so it's hard to cast blame, but the fact remains. I think it's a cop out to just paint Elliot and people like him as these monsters of free will who made this cosmic choice to do evil. I think if we had a magical machine which could go back in time to retrace every event in Elliot's life, we could find a discrete amount of external events which shaped him into the person he became. The point is less that we need time machines and more that we need to start looking at things through lenses a little more broad than just an act of pure personal agency. Yes, he made those choices, but nobody makes any choice in a vacuum. We make decisions based on learned experiences. So if someone were to say that Elliot "chose" to kill those people, I think I would try to introduce the question of what turned him into the person who made that choice, and from there ask how much agency he'd had in those forces which gave him those experiences. Our earliest years are incredibly important in defining who we end up becoming. We are shaped in powerful and near-permanent ways by forces beyond our control from long before we have the mental ability to consider what we'd like to allow the shaping.

Anyway, I think I'm rambling now. The demonization of metal illness is something that really does work against the work of its treatment in a fundamental way. Demonizing a mass shooter might help you feel better about it as a third party, but at a certain point you have to consider what needs to be changed on a systemic level in order to effect what probably needs to be a paradigmatic shift in the way we look at a lot of things.

What I'm trying to do is reshape the narrative around the whole "he did thing consciously" part, which is difficult because it runs contrary to a very basal way people view themselves. A (very) short way of putting my solution would be to take the passage in quotes above, amend it to something like "the human being created by and expressing the summation of his life's experiences" and from there extending that idea outwards. I didn't use the word "paradigm" lightly.

This is, of course, pure fantasy. We are well and truly fucked on a social level. Protestant work ethic run amok in every dimension, expressions of it everywhere you look. Asking people to change something so fundamental is just not realistic with the frameworks we have.

I have read it and rated it 5 stars on Goodreads lol. I absolutely loved, I think I read the entire book in like 3 sittings. I am kinda an incellish person myself, so of course I could relate to a lot of things. But I am not as delusional as him to think that I will get some girl without asking any girl out. It was a damned funny book, especially that evening of his when he got beaten up by those guys at the party and they also took his watch. If I felt any sadness while reading it or after reading it, I can't remember that now.

I will be honest here, the only let down for me was that his dumb ass couldn't get inside that sorority and kill some beautiful hedonistic girls in the prime of their pleasurable lives.

He really needed some coping mechanism. I remember I was relating with him throughout the book until he came to the part where he said that he was looking at a sunset and it looked beautiful, but that it was all a waste because he did not have a beautiful girl by his side to share it with. Listen, I want a qt gf as much as your next virgin guy, but I grew out of this much desperation when I was like 17, and I had to, you have to develop some sort of coping mechanism. For me it was porn and doomer shit. I am in my last year of college now, and I have barely 1 friend in my entire class, and have talked to him only once since the quarantine started.

Our entire class went on a college trip in February, and I was totally by myself, even that single friend of me abandoned me for a group with some girls, which I can totally understand and am not angry with him at all. But all that time that others were having fun with each other and making memories that they will fondly remember down the lane, I was there standing alone in corners. Four days that trip lasted and it was hell for me. After trying for the first few times to "get in", I just gave up and tried to just be as inconspicuous as possible. But I felt so lonely, you have no idea until you have lived with a crowd of college students for 4 days, even the place where we slept was like a huge room with 20 bunks, no privacy. I really would have killed people after that trip if I lived in America and had access to guns, or maybe that's just how I like to cope. But I can totally understand his hatred.

Incels briefly occupying the interest of mainstream journalists and academics was a good litmus test of whether the supposedly revolutionary '68 episteme actually exists, i.e., whether several generations of "postmodern thinking" and non-stop deconstruction of all traditional norms, hierarchies, and "power-knowledge" actually made human beings fundamentally more compassionate, understanding, or adept at identifying systemic oppression and subaltern voices at the everyday level.

What happens when a completely monstrous person “of color” tortures and murders some white child or shoots a cop in the face in cold blood? The institutionalized postmodernists rush in to remind everyone that institutions are structurally and systemically oppressive, and that this unfortunate individual incident shouldn't blind us to the structural factors that gradually and systemically caused the young person to lash out.

>> No.16308083

>>16308074
We shouldn't simply follow our gut and say "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps! Murder and violence are never justified, and no matter how oppressed you are, you aren't entitled to cruelty, hatred, spite, or resentment!" We should constantly remind ourselves against all our instincts that we're occupying the uphill, superior position, the easier position to hold, and we're shouting down at someone who is barely surviving, using this tragedy to justify keeping the structures of oppression in place because "it's fundamentally the individual's responsibility and the individual's guilt." We're supposed to resist the urge to shoot from the hip, and use abstruse Marxian analysis to figure out that resentment-fueled violence really isn't the perpetrator's "fault," but the fault of complex social structures and language-embedded injustices.

But then when a white guy starts expressing some ennui and sense of alienation, by doing anything less than outright grovelling and cringing and apologizing for feeling this ennui in the first place, at a time when being a "default" young-white-working-class-male means being the most atomized and pointless and taken-for-granted drone in an already atomized and pointless society, every single one of these ultra-subtle critical theorists says the same shit: "LOL what are you a fucking virgin? Man up! Buck up! You don't deserve any sympathy! You aren't guaranteed anything! It's YOUR responsibility to EARN the things you want from life! Just because you're miserable, doesn't mean you have the right to lash out, ever!"

It's a one-to-one analogous case, in the abstract. But there's no analogous consideration of structural or systemic factors, no interest in "seeing the perpetrator as himself a victim," no interest in subtly examining how social isolation almost always leads to short-sighted lashing-out that just leads to worse isolation in a vicious cycle, nothing.

DECADES of postmodern wanking about sympathy for the downtrodden hasn't managed to make that sympathy reflexive. It was all one big role-playing game.

Dude was autistic as fuck. This autism made me naive in social interactions and unable to interpret western culture to his benefit. This naivete led him to feeling betrayed by his entire world. Additionally he couldn't tell the difference between his own thoughts about himself and the thoughts others had about him. If he was having negative thoughts about himself thus so must everyone else also. So many of his negative interactions are completely made up in his mind. I tried to say Hi, they obviously heard me and they just hate me. He illustrates that "The injustice! I hated them all. Everyone treated me like I was invisible" He is constantly a victim.

I think most of us probably agree in sentiment about his issues with women. When women reject you its as if nature has rejected you. Sex is important and relationships are probably the most important success or failures people have in the lives. He victimized him self and then idealized everything he didn't have. The way he describes sex and relationships makes them out to be the end all be all of everything. His narcissism wouldn't allow him to change anything meaningful about who he was but was shallow enough to drop and take on fads as socially necessary. He mainstreamed the normie dream and was let down when he couldn't obtain the movie like quality of american life that is advertised to us every day. He was a naive autistic boi that had the nerve to do something. What he did was, I want to say brave but its not the right word. It was uncanny, something many could do, but do not, for that reason it is "respectable". He took his shity thinking to its logical conclusions. We all do a lot of thinking but do any of us act on these rationalizations. The best and worst thing he did are the same final act. We wouldn't be talking about these writings if he hadn't killed someone. For the narcissist we have fulfilled his goal. He always felt invisible and now everyone can see him. His life was a success in those terms.

What >>16308090 says is pretty much right although I wouldn't have put it in that in-your-face tone.

The stuff about hapa or other mixed race people only being able to identify with other half breeds is generally wrong imo. I don't identify with someone who is mullatoe or blasian even though they are also mixed race and half the same background as me. Don't think most mixed race people would. I find I am often attracted and repelled by other hapa people. Attracted because they come from a similar background and experience as me, and repelled because they are often messed up or have a serious chip on their shoulder.

In my experience the most common thing in terms of identity is for mixed race people to hate one side of their background and to embrace the other to such an extent that it's basically a parody of how a normal person of that race would celebrate their background e.g., Obama or Meghan Markle

Dealing with girls is a paradox anon. But no, simply complimenting a girl won’t guarantee a relationship or sex. If Elliot has tried it, he probably would have gone insane much earlier. He expected sex for nothing, so doing more than nothing and still not getting laid would have broken his mind. Probably turned him into a caricature of a gibbering nutjob.
The only advice is to give up. Accept defeat. Embrace failure utterly and go out of your way to invite it. Instead of trying to entice a girl by guessing what she wants, provoke her to despise you by stating what you want. The other day I got my female coworker to buy me sushi. How? I told her I wanted her to buy me sushi for dinner. I expected her to laugh in my face. I wanted her too. But instead she agreed, and drove me to a sushi place. While we were eating, I noticed she was wearing a low cut shirt. I told her to lean over so I could look down her shirt. That totally killed the vibe. But that was fine, because I didn’t even want to go out in the first place, I wanted to go home to get stoned and masturbate. Which is what I did. Am I kicking myself right now? No. I got what I wanted.

What the fuck, what makes people like this? You want to kill them? They deserve to die? What for?

Why was it their fault that you were alone? Because they ignored you? Then why not kill any of the other 8 billion people on this planet that don't give a shit about you any differently? I can understand any feeling of isolation and dejection by other peers and society except this. Why do the people in social circles that don't befriend or hang out with you or welcome you into their little groups deserve to die now, even as a momentary thought of shooting them as a coping mechanism?

What causes the delusion though? I know that they aren't born with it. Some boys may have a further propensity toward it than others, I suppose.

Both me and my brother are virgins, I'm 24 and he's 27. I have no friends and have given up on dating for the foreseeable future and getting a minimum wage job is a reach at this point. And I've never had the slightest thought to be violent or take my anger out on some group or individual that doesn't deserve it, when it isn't their fault. I've learned to accept the fact that I have to be a virgin for the foreseeable future, (I'm white, average height, good looking, sort of a "cutecel" but mostly a poorcel) and I'm not deluded so I'm aware that there's systems of power outside of my control that make it inconceivable for me to date and provide for myself until I'm a cog in some company's machine making bureaucrats wealthier in exchange for a middling wage. Why the fuck is that Stacy's fault or Tyrone's fault? Or even the fault of the head of the company or a wealthy banker? It's the system in power that's the issue.

As for my brother he'd be intelligent if he wasn't such a prejudiced far-right fuckwad. I've never minded any number of controversial things he's said, but when he loses his temper and starts going on about "the kikes" that does it for me. Talking about Jews coordinately seeking power is one thing, but using the word "kike" and having hatred for jews is another. He actually sent death threats to my old apartment roommates that he didn't along with MONTHS after he moved out of the place.

If we're both largely in the same condition (White male friendless NEETs without degrees in our 20s who can't find a job despite being intelligent/good-looking) why does he have all this hatred and believe in the white genocide conspiracy theory and blame his troubles on this? My only guess was that he got parental neglect/abuse worse, my mother had him on xanax when he was fucking 5 years old. I was on antidepressants briefly in High School but that honestly doesn't compare. He said that the psychiatrist that did that were "currynigger kikes" so I assume he just feels other races use their inadequacy to try to bring "strong, intelligent white men" down.

From this data I've concluded that people mostly have delusions out of the prideful ego-shells they form out of traumatic experiences that happened to them as infants and young children. We know a lot about Elliot Rodgers from the forum posts and manifestos, but I would wager that his parents severely allowed neglect or abuse to happen in ways that he can't even remember. Superficial delusions and crazy thought-patterns are one thing, but to do what he did, and just kill random people like that, makes it clear to me how deep these delusions truly ran. Deeper than could ever be put into words.

>> No.16313828

I read the reply. I'm not ugly but I understand these people more than you could know. There's nothing I don't understand about dejection.

Even the ugliest person (which Elliot Rodgers and in fact most incels who end up shooting innocent school-goers/pedestrians are anything but, in fact the ones that go this far tend to be average-good looking!) doesn't have an excuse to shoot random innocent people even if most people are to reject them. These shooters know they'll get caught and they usually commit suicide to avoid being in jail for the rest of their lives. If they're miserable why not just kill themselves? Why drag down random people with them first? Just for that momentary sense of gratification? THAT is a delusion: a random person that doesn't look at you and smile that you cross down the street is not the reason your parents decided to have a kid in spite of the fact that they were both ugly or had high chances of producing a child that was deformed.

That doesn't make sense. If you believe others are the source of your misery why would you conclude to kill just yourself when you see yourself as the victim. It would only make sense that they would try and take down as many perpetrators before you go, only deciding to kill yourself as a way escape punishment and not because you believe they deserve to die.
Why don't they have the right to do so? Because society says so? Do you think they care about what society says?
Eternal Damnation would be a convincing reason, but we are growing up in a increasing godless world. As society increasingly becomes nihilistic, rationalizing your way to murdering people becomes extremely easy.
Really, the poster who emphasized finding a coping mechanism is right.
The truth is there is no reason that you should obsess over the people who cause you misery. The wicked will suffer in the end, and one should strive to be good and to do as much good to others as they can.

Shooting someone who's bullied you your entire life is different from just shooting a random innocent bystander on a street corner or a random person in your school you've never even interacted with before though. You make it sound like the same thing and frequently these shooters treat it as the same thing too. "It's justified because society has wronged me as a whole." I can tell you understand that these shooters aren't in their right mind but nevertheless we should understand how they got there. I think the only way to start is to understand how they are so deluded that not only do they take out their anger on other people, (regardless of whether or not their misery was partly these people's "fault") instead of looking for solutions as to what they can control and accept that their circumstances can change, ("cope," patience, cultivating an independent self-sufficient mindset, moving to a new place, self-transformation or whatever term you want to use) but they go as far to kill random, completely innocent strangers that could have been you or me.

The pedestrians Ellot Rodgers shot in the drive-by could have been you or me. Would you really just shrug and say "you should try to understand it" if you survived a bullet due to this or a loved one of yours was in the line of fire and died? I think you'd probably be more like me and try to think very deeply as to what actually happens in these people's brains neurobiologically that causes them to SHOOT strangers, and I don't think it's as simple as
>muh society man 21st century no religion lol

>>16314814
He said "pedophiles/people who rape children are just getting back at the society who wronged them." I wouldn't have been surprised if he went through with killing my roommates too.

The first thing you need to understand about these people is how little they have to lose. After that point, I'd agree that it's more a question of why *wouldn't* they kill people before killing themselves than "why not just kill yourself instead of dragging others down with you?" They'd probably respond,

I mean Elliot DID try to kill a certain class of people who he believes wronged him, before just deciding to shoot randos when the door is hilariously locked.
You can choose to believe society and religion don't play a part. But you would be ignoring critical details that create these people. Many of Elliot's delusions came from taking what society values to be the end all be all as >>16301175 kind of noted.

My point is that this isn't an aside point, it's essential to understanding the whole thing. What in their minds makes them to believe that a random stranger is just as guilty as a lifelong bully or abusive teacher? As we both agree it's a delusion, but what specifically makes them deluded to the extent that they just go "SOCIETY" and see one person as just as guilty as another?

>The fact that you boiled down my post to

I didn't mean to boil your post down to that but I see now how it came across. I just meant that that your statement that " It would only make sense that they would try and take down as many perpetrators before you go" doesn't seem to refute my argument that it's intrinsically illogical, since as we both agree on it is only by understanding that, deluded though it may be, what makes such obviously insensible things SEEM sensible to the killer that they'd be inclined to kill strangers out of some strange satisfcation that they're getting back at an entity who wronged them even though said strangers have nothing to do with their bullies or girls who rejceted them or whatever the fuck. Of course, in the killer's mind they see it all as one in the same thing which is why they feel justified killing strangers, and that it's just as gratifying (if not more so?) than killing any number of specific people who actually went out of their way to harm them. My point of focus is simply to understand why this is the case, where you seem to talk more like a fatalistic white-pilled Christian, that really the cause of the problem is the irreversible course that society has gone down, and that the potential shooter's case is somewhat hopeless but they should still try to "cope," (another way of saying that they should accept their situation as hopeless and unchangeable and attempt to live with it instead of taking it out on others) but within their state of hopelessness taking it out on others is in some fundemental sense justified.

This is what I disagree on, I don't think their states are due to irreversible degeneration of society, this line of thinking is actually probably one of the major things that get them on a deluded course of thinking to begin with, because indeed if their situation WAS hopeless why wouldn't they want to kill others or themselves? But it's not, and as I said before evidence alone for this is that Incel shooters actually tend to be average or above average in looks, height, intelligence, success and socio-economic background.

You can think I'm not "understanding" something you're saying but that's a pretty big cop-out to me happening to disagree with it.

>The fact that people like you tend to only give a shit when people die is part of the problem.
When did I say that?

>The fact that you claim you want to know what makes them doing this while castigating me for trying to understand it
I'm not castigating, I'm disagreeing.

>while I also explain why its wrong and what other better paths are
I disagree about the logic of your "better paths" I think it's idiotic to say the incel shooter's cases are hopeless and that they should "find a coping mechanism."

I think you could boil down our disagreement to this sentence in the previous reply:

>But I for one, am not surprised that many turn to hateful practices when our society has grown increasingly loveless.

I don't think society has become increasingly loveless, I think that this is better than any other time in human history to be alive. Life has never had so much devlopment, ease, options, infrastructure, and oppurtunities. Life for most of human history fucking sucked, you'd get a disease or be stuck with poverty and a family you hated. Now we have birth control, we can take planes and go anywhere, things have never been better. I know that has made things complicated in some respects, and I don't know every stance you have on things (though I'm certain you'll disagree with me about this) but I see a lot of people talking about incel shooters and blaming things like abortion and feminism and the "destruction of the family unit" for these things. Even things like a reduction of physical abuse by parents and teachers in schools as factors. That's just fascist reactionary thinking and doesn't get to the root of the problem which I'm trying to get to, which you completely dismiss as "chemicals in the brain." Like of course societal and cultural issues influence "how chemicals are in the brain" but people can have things wrong with them that aren't as simple as a "society becoming loveless" such as in this case where you have people that are for all intents and purposes seemingly normal people with normal modern problems. But obviously something IS fundementally different in the neuro functioning of Elliot Rodgers than any number of hapa/half-asian well-to-do young men from california that have been rejected by girls sometimes and who are angsty.

Well, I think the idea is that Elliot wanted to target certain people, then he just shot randos because he hit a SNAFU. I do agree its strange that so many target randoms, but I suppose its a consolation prize? They may not be as guilty as others, but perhaps guilty enough in the minds of the shooter to think "eh, good enough." Perhaps they feel so miserable they just want anyone to feel their suffering so they kill people to make others suffer too. Doesn't matter whom suffers. But I do agree that its weird so many just decide to go for randoms when they had problems with specific people.
The aspect of how they got to the point where they deluded themselves into blaming society is actually the ez part imo.

>Try your best or think you tried your best
>Fall flat on your face, perceive you are at the bottom of the social order, feel immense suffering
>Blame Society because you think they couldn't have done any more and it helps their egos
>randos are an extension of society

I'm not fatalistic in any circumstance. Society can change and it can change for the better although it doesn't seem to be heading this way. I never once said that society is solely responsible. It merely is a hand at play. (I merely stated initially that I am not surprised this happens in this type of society) And I do think society takes a part. We are increasingly isolated. Societies can change over time and is it so strange to think that societies changing could actually effect the people who live in them? But while I do think society takes a part, You make a valid point that the people committing violence over blame society and that is part of the problem. And while I think society may have a hand, people like Rodgers over blame society. Many are suffering from their own delusions or legitimate mental illness. In many cases, their failure will either lead them to self hatred (they kill themselves) or hatred of others (they kill others). I don't think they are hopeless, but in a different way than you. You say they are attractive, smart, etc. etc. The thing is that Elliot WAS hopeless in finding a gf. Not because he was unattractive or a Happa, but because he had legitimate mental illness. In many ways, his suffering probably stemmed from the perception that society thinks you are worthless if you aren't getting laid. But when I argue one should COPE (This is the key point), I am saying one should find meaning in other more valuable things. In that way, there is hope for them. If Elliot could be convinced that getting laid wasn't that important (As society says), maybe he wouldn't have killed people despite his failures to get a gf. My argument is that despite one's suffering one can find meaning in other less superficial things. Ascribing your value to how good you are to others rather than how much you get laid (as society honestly does broadcast in some instances) can do a load of good. And honestly, mental health treatment needs to be taken more seriously.

Some incels are beyond help in finding a gf. That is just the truth. As nurse anon state perviously. You would probably just laugh at them. And when I said cope, I explained here >>16315885 that people should try to find value in more important and higher things than getting a gf. I am not talking about coping in a dismissive sense, but in the sense of finding a greater purpose with less suffering. One which society is unlikey to provide.

is an admission that society plays a part which is all I said. I never once said it was the sole thing. All I said was I am not surprised it happens in this society.

You misinterpreted my statement completely. II only partially blame society. I otherwise think these people suffer from mental health issues which worsens the anguish.

>I don't think society has become increasingly loveless, I think that this is better than any other time in human history to be alive. Life has never had so much devlopment, ease, options, infrastructure, and oppurtunities. Life for most of human history fucking sucked, you'd get a disease or be stuck with poverty and a family you hated. Now we have birth control, we can take planes and go anywhere, things have never been better. I know that has made things complicated in some respects, and I don't know every stance you have on things (though I'm certain you'll disagree with me about this) but I see a lot of people talking about incel shooters and blaming things like abortion and feminism and the "destruction of the family unit" for these things. Even things like a reduction of physical abuse by parents and teachers in schools as factors. That's just fascist reactionary thinking

I never said that society is more loving now. For someone who insists that they're being misunderstood you sure have a way with putting word's in other people's mouths.

I said that this is the best time to be alive because of technological, societal and cultural advancements, and that saying that society is objectively worse, more isolated and loveless is a reactionary take. Which is extremely relevant to how incel shooters are understood and perceived.

>Have fun feeling better than the mentally ill I guess.
Again, where did I say that I feel better than the mentally ill? Where did I say I'd laugh at truecels because of their deformities or the shape of my skull? Nowhere.

Ironically your ad-hominem remarks only prove my points more, you wouldn't have to make them and could engage my arguments directly if your stances or even your confidence in them were more firm.

Mental illness literally does not exist, it's what the very society that the is the root of the problem uses to label people who do not conform to its demands.

The same society that drives people to murder/suicide. The source of the problem for what drives people who feel dejected to suicide and the fact that "treatment for mental illness" is treated as the solution that people like you think people should focus on is one and the same. Can't you see at least conceptually the irony of this? My brother became a psychopath that's convinced he's better than other people, because he emotionally responded to the trauma of my parent's fighting/separation when he was a toddler and my mother who is a literal narcissist and couldn't take responsibility for his trauma and didn't want to deal with him crying convinced herself and others that something was "wrong" with him and gave him Xanax when he was 5 years old. In bitter tragic irony he is quite messed up now, what people like you would call "mentally ill." The same system that fucks up people this way CANNOT be the solution. My brothers situation is basically the same as Elliot Rodgers, I doubt Elliot Rodgers had psychiatry as bad as a young kid, (though he could have and that would be a big part of the explanation, one that his parents would also undoubtedly leave out.) but the problem is, which given your apparent sympathies to people like Elliot Rodgers you should be able to at least conceptually understand, is that we don't LISTEN to the travails of people like him, and using "help for mental illness" is a faux way of pretending to care about them while doing nothing but adjusting them, by force if deemed necessary. (changing the neurobiological patterns in the brain that got that way due to external environment and chalking it up to a "mental illness" that the person was born with IS changing the "problem" by force. The same problem that society arbitrarily imposed from the onset.)

It's true that life today is way safer than it used to be. However you can't deny that it seems like people have become increasingly isolated in modern society. People have become a commodity.

Actually listening to these people would entail not just shrugging, "oh, they're mentally ill, we need to diagnose the specific way that they are different *read: the way that they don't conform to society and the problems that this causes, that society would rather solve by changing the individuals than changing the fundamental problems in society that cause individuals to go crazy in the first place* and "treat" it accordingly.

Let's take a step back for a moment, isn't it absolutely fucked that "mental disorder" and "mental illness" have the exact same definition? This is an open admission from society as well as practically all psychologists/psychiatrists that being different or unique from the fold should be looked at the same way as being ill. SICK, DISEASED. And then when we wonder why this system drives people to murder-suicide the best we can do is say, "well he must've not gotten the treatment for his mental illness/disorder that he needed!"

I don't doubt you disagree with this and loathe me at this point but at least conceptually, can you not see the bitter irony in this fundementally flawed logic that almost everyone accepts as valid?

You'll never know how hard it was to decide to not see my therapist anymore, the insistence of everyone that something was wrong with me when I knew I was only anxious because it meant if I didn't find a job soon I'd have to live with my psychotic mother and my brother with sympathies to neo-nazism and who is violently temperemental and has an out-of-control mental state,the same one my mother's neglect caused by her insistence that we were both mentally ill as we were trapped there all those years. If my brother ever did kill randos as he sometimes implies he has the desire to I would recognize this as wrong, but I would see the real sin in the fact that it's culurally unacceptable to hold parents or single mothers accountable for their insistence on going to the evil psychiatrists for this. And unlike my brother I'm not a paranoid shit-head so I don't take my anger out on the jews just because jews happen to be over-represented in psychiatry.

He said to me that it would only be consistent if society killed both of us as well as ALL "autistic people" since this would only be consistent with the way it has segregated people and because it's worse to functionally kill people by deeming them lower but practically keep people alive in misery, as opposed to killing them outright. I said that he was talking insane because as soon as I find a job my situation will completely change, I won't have to worry about living with my mother and can move on from my negative environment I grew up in.

As for him he said that getting a job and being independent would not make him feel better, yet he continues to use my mother's side of the families resources and feels guilty and ashamed of it.

In 1978, he was offered Yarima, who was then about 9 to 12. Good was 36. He saw no real problem.
“Living down there, of course I didn’t care, and the Yanomami didn’t care,” Kenneth says. “Our culture is obsessed with numbers.”
He says that the Yanomami don’t have what we consider marriage; instead, they betroth their girls — even while in the womb — to tribesmen for later consummation.
Kenneth says that a girl can refuse her betrothal, but he knew Yarima had feelings for him, because she watched for him always, brought him food, ran down the riverbank when he was approaching.
Kenneth has always taken umbrage at the obvious question: How old was Yarima when their union was consummated? “PBS asked me that once, and I said, ‘You can be damn sure that she was the age of consent in most states and many countries around the world,’ ” he says. “Which I think is 13. The cultural age is what’s important down there. Don’t I have the right to do this or that in another culture?”

>> No.16319255

Some stuff that stood out, nothing deep or anything but I haven't seen it posted here:

1) He would be the only accidental pregnancy of his family, never points this out.

2) His encounter with the actor that played Anakin in Phantom Menace's premier is nearly unbelievable. Both would go through bullying at school. Eliot himself failed to acknowledge other people's pain and struggles when they didn't match his own delusional levels, so it's no surprise he didn't see the parallel. Plus he probably forgot about the guy like nearly everybody else.

3) His mom leaving him around the age of 20 was harsh, especially after spoiling him so much as a kid. It's the reason I'm not 100% on Elliot being born broken - his father, mom and stepmom were all terrible at raising him in their own way, and the fact he thought he would hesitate to kill his father is one of the few truly sad aspects of the manifesto - why would he flinch after his father couldn't give a fuck about him so many times? And wanting him to live in fucking Morroco was awful in any way imaginable...

3.5)...although if he wasn't so keen of banging white blondes he probably could've swallowed that pill and got over it.

4) The "throws coffee at strangers" moments almost seem like fanservice/comic relief he made up to avoid the bleak and repetitive nature of much of the second half of the manifesto. The Super Soaker with orange juice attack is a rare moment of incel triumph.

5) The police failing to arrest someone so broken and pathetic is wild. That is like his only win of the last years of his life when you think about it.

All in all, it's pathetic but in a very fascinating way. It's simultaneously a bible for incels while serving as a guide on how to prevent similar outcomes in the future.
