Look at Cambridge Analytica’s A. Kogan doing research on identifying those w dark triad traits. High dark triad scores would predict propensity to not care about others or the consequences of everything from trolling to committing a terrorist act.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-cambridge-analytica-kogan/academic-in-facebook-storm-worked-on-russian-dark-personality-project-idUSKBN1GX2F6 …

Combine High dark triad w high scores in loneliness/ depression plus low scores in critical thinking skills /logic and you have a perfect storm for susceptibility to radicalization. Throw that person into a Chan with shitlords encouraging bad ideas, hatred and you get a killer.

In a time when a radicalized religious subset of one party- one with a disturbing amount of power- is set on dismantling education, this leaves society vulnerable. DeVos family are members of hate group CNPhttps://twitter.com/readeradrift/status/821382034744635394?s=21 …

We know from the brave souls who’ve lived through the brainwashing and escaped this death cult that it exists. @mrhappydiehappy is a hero for blowing the whistle on this earlier this yearhttps://theoutline.com/post/3537/alt-right-recruiters-have-infiltrated-the-online-depression-community?zd=8&zi=kpbqvm5h …

So we have kids like Austin bomber Mark whatsizname “graduating” from radical Christian homeschool without the ability to argue their way out of a wet paper bag (see a copy of his blog here:) http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/austin-bomber-mark-conditt-blog-posts-02.pdf …

Right now it’s homeschoolers. As the DeVoses, Bannons, Conways and Mercers of the world succeed in dismantling public education- supplanting curriculums pushing critical thinking and science for ones more consistent with their religious beliefs - this problem will spread.

Waffle House shooter is a bit different than others bc in addition to having a homeschooling, right-wing Christian background and being a part of a sketchy conspiracy theory group (“Soverign Citizens”) he was also mentally ill.https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2010/april/sovereigncitizens_041310/domestic-terrorism-the-sovereign-citizen-movement …

Confirmed today that the guy behind the Toronto van massacre was indeed part of the online incel community, which has only become increasingly radicalized since being banned from Reddit last year for advocating violence against womenhttps://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/09/technology/incels-reddit-banned.html …

The Toronto van murderer, part of the misogynist online cult of incels, praised Elliot Rodger before slaughtering 10 people. The Parkland shooter also praised Elliot Rodger in a YouTube video before shooting up his high school. Was he also in incel groups? https://twitter.com/skullflowers__/status/988991544500899840?s=21 …

It has always struck me as odd and suspicious that the public was never told the motivations behind the Vegas shooter’s massacre. I’ve long suspected that’s because there is an ongoing top level investigation into the online group that radicalized him, continues to indoctrinate.

I've been wondering about the Las Vegas shooter as we still have no idea why he did it. Incel can probably be ruled out in his case because he had a girlfriend but maybe some other form of radicalization filling him with conspiracy theories and hate.

Bingo. There’s a whole spectrum of hate to choose from.
