      Interesting take. I’ve seen quite a few people come out of bullying without dehumanizing at this scale. I’d wager even more childhood trauma is at play here- beyond being harassed for not being “manly” enough.

      IME, it takes having a lot of other social support, primarily from schools. And of course CPS intervention in abuse cases. We have to fix this when they're still in grade school. Beyond that, they're already lost.

      The worst part is that the charismatic leaders of the alt right know very well that these guys are susceptible to manipulation. Hence the PUA courses and such. The guys trying to gain status don't even realize they're being played by their leaders.

      People are that easily ... brainwashed? Into something so inhumane? This behavior, even if learned, acted upon in a peer group, is so out of the “norm” - to use their word- out of the natural egalitarian instinct inherent in the majority of the population, it’s baffling.

      People tend to respond to early trauma in one of two ways: trying their best to prevent suffering from happening to others, or resentment of people who aren't suffering, and therefore trying their best to cause it.

      The sheer scale of child abuse, including gendered abuse, in the US is enormous, and there's very little being done about it. It just keeps perpetuating generation after generation.

      Most people can survive minor abuse or bullying with just a little bit of intervention and support. But the severe cases, especially when they're ignored by others who are supposed to help, can actually rewire neural pathways in the brain.

      This isn't to say everyone who is violent was abused, or that everyone who was abused will become violent, of course. But enough will that it's critical we have early intervention systems to prevent that from happening.

      There are also larger cultural factors--extremes in gender roles, pushing violent toys and entertainment on boys, celebrating violence in sports, etc.--but those are way harder to fix. They'll take generations.

      But just like we can prevent a lot of deaths by restricting gun access, we can prevent a lot by putting more effort into getting kids out of abusive homes and having zero-tolerance policies for peer abuse.

      Even beyond that, it doesn't sound like there was any mental health support. He wasn't just bullied but sounds like he has deeper mental health issues one would be born with. Add incel to the whole thing and you can see how someone could get radicalized. It's horrible.

          I think it's fair to say that the grown ups in this guy's life failed him in multiple ways. The aggravating thing, though, is that this particular kind of failure is widespread and culturally reinforced, and we're doing fuck all to fix it.
