I'm not trying to help that guy. He's beyond help. I'm trying to help all the other lonely, angry men who, so far, haven't hurt anyone. They're miserable and in pain and helping them might prevent this sort of thing from happening again. What do you propose to do about them?
One kid will be told it’s hopeless enough times, will remember the suggestions from his peers, and go “ER” on some innocent people. The rest will be forced by life to get outside and experience more, which is literally enough to destroy any credibility their incel lord has.

Nothing you said negates my point. Part of being incel is believing no one can/will help. To be an adult male virgin in our society even if one does not identify as incel is to be an object of ridicule. What do we stand to lose by reaching out in compassion & offering help?

Are you under the mistaken impression that I am incel? What led you to that conclusion? And secondly, I make no excuses whatsoever for behavior. I'm trying to help a community of people wrapped up in their own anger and pain in order to prevent tragedies like this from recurring.

If you want to prevent future attacks, don’t look to vilify someone, or blame society. Don’t promote generalizing or labeling. These guys don’t need social justice warriors on Twitter to fight for them. They need good examples of how to view and treat women.

I don't disagree with any of that, though I would add a focus on stamping out bullying (an early destroyer of self esteem) and a more robust system of mental healthcare and public effort to destigmatize seeking out psychiatric help.

Absolutely. These are all just secondary issues. If we can get to the root, we can do a lot more to help the entire group of people suffering from sociocultural strains. We can prevent people from becoming that deluded. From being radicalized and used.

If you want to help, get behind your local feminists and ask how we can create a culture that values all women as human beings, regardless of their sexual proclivity. Hold your bros up rather than bring them down, and always take responsibility for you state of mind.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
