Interestingly this is a similar conclusion that the Unabomber came to in Industrial Society and its Future:

Kaczynski called out low self-esteem as one of several foundational components in the psychology of his hated enemies (“leftists”), whom he believed to be the primary scourge of society (ironic, coming from a mass murderer). Modern analysis of incel culture also places low self-esteem at the center of the problem.
- MrScruff 1y agoTangental but it's interesting to read Kaczynski's bio after listening to a podcast about the Zizian cult over the weekend, some very clear parallels in personality type.
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoIs the CIA involved again like it was with MKUltra in Kaczynski's case ?
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoIndiscriminate murderer, sure. Mass murderer ? Doesn't fit the bill.
- nylonstrung 1y agoOne of his bombs was on a plane with 78 people but it malfunctioned So mass murder was definitely the intent

- 4gotunameagain 1y agoYeah but de facto he only killed three people. Which is three too many, don't get me wrong.
- Yeul 1y agoAh the "society made me a killer/rapist" defense! Incels usually narrow it down to women whom are expected to have sex with them because men are owed sex.

- arresin 1y agoYou ruin any point you’re trying to make with the unnecessary “inkwells” remark. That word is also used to denigrate and dehumanise. Also, it’s brainless in general.
- OldfieldFund 1y agoWhat is an inkwell? I haven't seen the OP mentioning that word. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the vernacular. Is that another word for incels?
