I don't equal this to some skinny white kid who became with obsessed with radical white movements and went looking for target practice at the most black establishment you can find in Sunday service at a Black church. Not sure how people link some dude shooting up his old co-workers on some petty scorn over a dude who gobbled radical race groups nuts. Not even close.
The common link between Roger, Roof and Williams, as I see it:
1. "I desire
X, therefore I deserve
X."
2. "Since I believe I am in no way personally-flawed, mediocre or imperfect, I would have
X if it not for forces beyond my personal control."
3. "These oppressive forces are due to Group
Y, who are not
real people like myself."
4. "I will make Group
Y pay for their oppression, and observers will understand and be sympathetic, since it was obvious I deserved
X and
Y weren't
real people anyway".
Maybe X is a romantic or sexual partner. Perhaps it's fame. Success in a chosen field. Power. Maybe even simple respect or being taken seriously.
Y is any social group who is perceived - either correctly or not - to have power over the subject.
Knowing the steps, what are the requirements?
Step 1 and 2 only requires Narcissism and an immature mind that haven't yet developed higher mental resilience or higher levels of moral development.
Step 3 requires either groupthink or an authority to confirm
Y as a legitimate source of blame.
Step 4 is the combination of Narcissism and Blame with the powerkeg of Eternally-Frustrated Desires, (lit through insanity, Authority Fingerpointing, or deliberate emotional retardation).
Social and entertainment media supposedly only cultivates Narcissism
in those already prone to it, (though I still suspect it's too early to understand the long-term effects of constant maintenance of a Cultivated Online Persona).
Resistance to both accepting adult responsibility and strengthening emotional resilience is being culturally-normalised by Institutions such as the Media, Outrage Activists and Universities, who are deliberately infantilising the people they claim to be champions of.
These institutions also legitimise hatred of Group
Y, though sometimes this process can happen through a groupthink process via sites like Tumblr, or even an Oppositional Authority Group like PUAHate, or Stormfront.
As such, the cultural conditions are exactly right to create more and more of these narcissistic, irrational, immature minds, prone to violence in the name of Justice, believing their cause is righteous, because this is what Extreme Leftism is designed to do: create cultural warriors who are willing to burn everything down and replace it with a Socialist Utopia. The sudden escalation of the cultural wars is simply the emergence of the first generation that has been programmed by their educational institutions to be Political Activists since they were born.
As such, I saw multiple people on social media today sympathising with the killer because they had gone through the same educational process that reinforced their hatred of White People that the killer hate.
It's not even just race. Hell, Roosh had a hate mob equating his writing a satirical piece on rape with being an actual rapist, and were hunting him in public with intent to physically-harm him, over
words.
So, no, I don't see catastrophization on my part, just a simple observance of patterns through my life. The Feminist Meetings I sat in on as a young child spoke openly about destroying the power of the catholic church and ruining the nuclear family. The Lesbians on campus in the early 90's would talk about gaining control of the media and political bodies to silence any criticism of feminism and homosexuality. All of those ideas seemed ridiculous to me but they all came to pass within my lifetime. All that is left is to simply raze the old society: to create enough division within different groups that any sense of trust and community is impossible, and, with that, enough violence to demand increased powers handed to government, even if long standing rights have to be erased to achieve it.
When I hear 'You can't be racist against white people' and 'Free speech is problematic and needs to be abolished' and 'merit, intelligence and experience is not a valid reason to employ someone for a job', I understand these people aren't fringe crazies, but
absolutely-serious in their intentions, and these things
will come to pass, bar some major destabilising event.
The pace is accelerating. I suggest you find your community and strengthen the connections within it: it's the ability to see others as real, complex entities that is the best pushback. All else is just division and anarchy.
