The whole insanity sorrounding him is the result of the ugly man psyop and hot men drought, change my mind.
Yeah, I will always remember that one anon in LC who said that it’s because nowadays there are no moids like Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, or 1D for this generation.
while i understand, i know numerous people with dysfunctional parents and siblings who still turned out relatively fine and even very well rounded (not that you're making excuses for him)
Yes. This is also my opinion. It’s never simply about a bad childhood, trauma, or mental illness; it's always about the person. Yes, maybe all of those factors contribute, but people who do horrible things in the name of those factors already had something in them in the first place. There must already be something so rotten in their soul, something that makes them see other people as objects or tools to use.
Many people had terrible childhoods, but they don’t end up as murderers or doing other horrible things. Many people go through trauma and still don’t end up killing someone. When it comes to ‘mental health,’ it’s tricky, because many people with mania or schizophrenia also don’t end up murdering anyone. In fact, saying otherwise only reinforces the harmful stereotype that schizophrenic people are violent, when most of them absolutely aren’t. Only about 2–5% of people with schizophrenia ever commit serious violence. This means 95–98% do not.
i think he takes pride in his ostensible suffering; wearing that shit like an ornament, "standing up" for the working class. his bpdemons also feed him this narrative constantly and it very likely went to his head).
100%. I believe he has some kind of martyr or hero complex or something similar, where he wants to prove that he has a ‘hero’s heart.’
i think his initial goal was to emanate the identity of a profoundly deep, well educated, impartial and skeptical "intellectual," but this phase was incredibly transient and all for show. based on what we know about his history, i'd say around the time of the pandemic is when his spiraling identity crisis began. to me, these intrinsic struggles is the primary reason as to why he shot thompson
Of course it is for show. He is not someone who is actually rational, intellectual, or skeptical. If he were, he wouldn’t choose violence as the answer and conclusion. People who are actually rational, intellectual, and skeptical will research everything about the subject they’re interested in from various different points of view and perspectives, even the ones they don’t like. People who are truly like that also won’t simplify things into a black-and-white mindset (CEO is evil vs. me, the hero who kills him, is good), because they understand that while yes, CEOs do have faults, they are just one cog in a massive, complex billionaire or even trillionaire industry. If you think that killing one CEO can overthrow an entire trillionaire industry or revolutionize it, then I’m sorry, you are just not rational and intellectual.
“Intrinsic struggles are the primary reason as to why he shot Thompson.”
Yes, he did this for intrinsic reasons. Like I said, he is not a rational person; he is just a very emotional person with poor impulse control who wants to see himself as righteous. In his mid-20s, he found out that life is not what he imagined, there are so many things he can’t control (like his back pain, his breakup, his fights with his family, or whatever). Of course we can’t ignore the moid factor in this. When moids are spiraling and feels like their world is out of control, they can’t help the urge to destroy something, like abusing or killing or raping or any horible shit, because their moid brain just can’t see any other solution or way to release their pain.
Many people said that he’s “different,” and that it’s a mystery why he doesn’t target women or children or become a mass shooter. But it’s not a mystery to me. I think that’s not because he actually cares about women and children or innocence; instead, it’s just because he wants to maintain that illusion of his self-concept where he sees himself as a man of virtue and righteousness. In a way, it’s still a very selfish mindset. Killing that CEO fulfilled two things for him: the moid urge to chimp out and the need to prove to himself that he is a righteous person who did something for society.
