    This damaged student bubbled up from a political environment brew similar to the current one generating incels.

      Not… Really. If you ever want to hate humanity, read up on Imperial Japan’s militarism cult and remember:

      Nope. Nope. Nope. Incels are fully to blame for when they act violently. Fuck making excuses for people who think that it’s everyone else’s fault that they can’t get laid and then become bitter and hateful.

        It’s not an excuse, incels aren’t born incels. Saying they are responsible for their actions and that they are at least in part a product of their environment is not mutually exclusive. Understanding how they are made gives perspective on how to stop more, it doesn’t absolve them of whatever they do.
