Since that article was published,
#Trump, a former "Chad", mobilised armies of MRA, including incels, who now (ironically) feel empowered to act on their hatred of women (and others) https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/8xxymb/here-are-reddits-whiniest-most-low-key-toxic-subreddits …pic.twitter.com/xOFQkZkJUS

Back to
#AlekMinassian's purported message. Infantry 00010 -> MOSID 00010 - Infantryman (INFMN) who's task is to "close with and destroy the enemy" http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/about-policies-standards-medical-occupations/mosid010-infantryman.page …pic.twitter.com/3V5u5CPlpy

#AlekMinassian#Toronto Profile is an obvious fake. Relayed by those who really need the mass murderer to be muslim. "Othering" violence, attributing it to an out-group serves to 1. scapegoat an entire people 2. ignore the violence within own grouphttps://twitter.com/DrMichaelKrane/status/988642121321205760 …

At the very least,
#AlekMinassian's purported FB post is shedding some light into a very dark corner of the net. Hadn't been down the incel rabbit hole in a while. Stark reminder : Elliot Rodgers killed 6, Nikolas Cruz killed 19https://babe.net/2018/02/15/nikolas-cruz-elliot-rodger-35621 …Show this thread -
