I wonder if he would have made different choices if he could have been a part of a right wing organisation. That way his tendencies and beliefs could have been channelled into less destructive, more productive endeavours. Thereby innocent lives could have been spared.

I find there to be a common refrain from some leftists that xenophobic violence can be explained by rise in popularity of anti-immigrant parties, but this is probably correlation without causality. They are in my view instead both caused by the same thing, namely alienation.

As an anthropologist I will say that human aggression is commonly acted out in forms of known or "accepted" violence. Deviance follows social norms. In the US the lone disenfranchised male shooter is a provided avenue of antisocial violence.

Haha. Not that I know of but don't confuse me with an identity politics -loving liberal. I'm an old school "storm the castle and hang the bankers" leftist

Well. Banking is immoral as it only has one job: moving money from poor to rich. Anthropologically-speaking all cultures have to find something to keep young men productivity occupied otherwise they cause problems. We are failing at this in many poor communities
