The Texas outlet mall shooter, Part 2.
In my prior thread, I talked a lot of the shooter's Neo Nazi beliefs, which, according to his online posts, date back to his high school years.
His online writings, however, show two sides to his messed up life. The Neo Nazi beliefs were a path he chose, while his hatred of women feels far more personal.
His writings put his squarely in the incel online community.
While he knows the external trappings of Nazism will get him attention and press in a shock and awe kind of way, his internal voice in his writing is all about his deep resentment of all women and of men who have a normal relationship with women.
I wouldn't be surprised if the incel stuff didn't turn out to be the primary driver for his killings. He could have chosen a lot of different soft targets for his act - black churches, synagogues, a supermarket in a black neighborhood, etc. - but he chose a premium outlet shopping mall in a predominantly white/Asian city on its busiest day and time.
HIs Nazism will ensure his post-death fame with "normies," but he knows that he needs to "score" a higher kill count than ER* to gain the respect of his fellow incels. This respect would come in the form of "martyrdom" and memes.
