Determinism is an expression of a very early or disordered mental development. Determinism basically means the denial of the agency of oneself and ascribing the cause of one's own behavior to external things.
A determinist didn't kill a bug because he chose to, he was forced to by his mom and friends. The determinist cannot imagine a past where he didn't kill the bug, that would be impossible, since nothing could ever have been otherwise.
All his misfortunes are blamed for others. He is not responsible for anything. It's all the big bang's fault. He denies the self, and as a result the self ceases to be, since the self has to be acknowledged by itself to exist. This is because the self requires the conscious discrimination between the agency of others and agency of oneself, since that is how one learns to exert influence upon and manipulate the world. As the self is denied, it ceases to be, and the determinist becomes an NPC in a self-fulfilling prophecy. There is nothing else for agents to do than to affirm his beliefs in the lack of agency.
