Both are symptoms of the same mental illness
The alt-right is certainly targeting men, so it is correlated, but I think it’s important to note that these girls were targeted because of their gender first and foremost. The ‘Charlie Kirk’ aspect was just the excuse provided by the perpetrator. There’s a deeper issue at play and should be acknowledged.
I’ve never been truly stalked before, but I started working early and naively had a picture on OKCupid (when it was new and all the rage) when I was 18. I had a guy I never actually talked to show up at my work and seek me out. I was 18 and dumb, but I’m glad I learned that lesson. It could have been so much worse.
Im mentally ill, I never stalked or killed anyone, whats your point?
read the whole article, the guy was a fucking pig and a creep, being egged on by a livestream "community" of creeps and pigs.
Don't throw a no context "oh he's just mentally ill" with no further comment, you make me sick
You're certainly reading a lot into my comment that I didn't say.
This is the sociopathy of the alt-right. I said nothing about all mental illness in general.
people can have ASPD & still use cognitive empathy & never harm people. not to mention how this murderer wasn't diagnosed with anything like ASPD or NPD etc.
if someone's a vile, cruel, misogynistic, racist, murderer, we can just call them that. we can get creative with our insults without letting an already vulnerable population catch any strays.
I'm just sick of everything having to be about the left, right, Democrats, or Republicans... why can't it just be about a stalker who was allowed to cause harm to somebody because nobody took actions to stop it
Probably because of all the stochastic terrorism
Because the far right lionizes pieces of shit who agree with their views and this particular piece of shit is hoping it will happen to him.
because mental ilness and beinf far right has been proven again in many studies, stop trying to "this is not a conservative thing" Democrats overwhelming dont do mass shootings, or murders like this.
