The question foremost in my mind at the moment is what leads a tiny number of young men to insanely act upon psychopathic impulses?

@aral yes, tho it's not necessarily the dispossessed who act these things out. As@rorysutherland points out, lots of kids with degrees. -
@ballantine70@rorysutherland I meant systemic inequality, on both a global and a local scale. -
@aral@rorysutherland yes, I agree. But just wanted to be clear that it's not then the poorest who act. People with some resources... -
@aral@rorysutherland ... take up arms with inequality as one of their battle cries. Does that makes sense? -
@aral but inequality can maybe be a trigger or justification to the psychopathic in the same way as, say, xenophobia can? -
@ballantine70@aral Or the sense of victimhood - which is perhaps disastrous even when it is entirely justified.
