Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Dude clearly has delusions of grandeur, but the fuel being fed into that is far right ideology. In a sense, he just acted on what right wing rhetoric says is the ideal.
Too far gone to organize, sure, but this is exactly the guy wingnuts and feds (
) love to wind up. This is who the whole strategy of stochastic terrorism is aimed at.
They celebrate teenagers going on mass shootings killing children and old people going shopping or Muslims praying. This is an extension of that depravity. It may not advance their agenda, but random violence is acceptable to them as a compromise.
It's funny that you mention the siege nerds. After a good chunk of them got arrested or killed, some of the main guys decided to just silently drop all the satanic stuff and move on to MMA camps lol
I think this post is missing the point, and is also potentially insensitive to the family. That's all.
i'm going to say the odds his family sees this post on HexBear is quite low. Almost non-existent.
If empathy ceases once you're out of sight, what is it?
which part is insensitive? the "lunatic" part?
Yeah, just seemed unnecessary. Words like that when directed towards people with mental illness is problematic.
There's no doubt what he did is shocking and devastating, but perpetuating loaded, stigmatized language in relation to mental illness is part of the equation when it comes to treatment avoidance.
This level of psychosis is so far removed from common onsets of mental illness that it is a diservice to associate this person with mental illness. The rate of people with psychotic episodes is 60x less than the rate of people with depression. Of the psychosis group only a fraction of that group expresses their psychosis through violence. Fuck this guy and the rhetoric surrounding this as a mental health failing. He is a monster and an asshole. Stuff like this being associated with mental health only serves to stoke reinstitutionalization and worsen stigma.
Shut the fuck up liberal
