      or maybe he is someone with severe mental health issues and not part of any "movement" Going online does not make you a "movement" the cause of his actions are almost certainly mental health related.

      That doesn't excuse him from the consequences of his actions or excuse us from having to work to understand why and how this could happen.

      not excusing at all. Finding out the why is exactly what I am getting at. the easy way out for media is to say part of some "online movement" Much more complicated than that.

      But: why would you leap to mental health issues as a somehow more relevant explanation? People with mental health issues are significantly more likely to be a victim of violence than a perpetrator of violence against others

      IMO, far too many people after incidents like this (multiple homicides, by gun, bomb, or auto) assume the killer was mentally ill based on circular logic: only an ill person would do this, thus he is ill (we only have this discussion about men).

      We can infer from what he wrote that he was a pretty virulent misogynist. That much is very clear. The "incel" idea is very socially toxic and pathological. That doesn't mean he had a mental illness.

          Occam's Razor says that when someone proudly says he's part of a movement that believes that it's necessary to terrorize and kill the "normies" that we take him at his word when he terrorizes and kills normies. It almost most certainly is more complicated, but please.
