I am a phone poster so I won't go into everything I agree with and disagree with in that blog post. (And I do disagree with a lot of stuff, the author seems very smart and very retarded all at once.... Typical autist with a blog.), but I found this bit an interesting thought: He viewed most people as NPCs who needed to be awakened
If this is a correct interpretation by the writer, could it be a motive? Maybe the murder was not about "revenge", but a means to an end: to "awaken the npcs".
Yeah I tried to infer this previously but the kind of authors and area of the internet he was hanging around in and following were quite a bit deeper than "shoot le heckin bad CEOs" and it's very possible to get your mind sort of trapped in very negative thoughts about the future - particularly if you feel no one is doing anything about it.
It's really not too different to AI/whatever doomerism cults (in some way, in other ways it is vastly different) but a bit more broadly focused than just "AI is bad" and not really any sort of formal organization or group that one can join.
It certainly seems that based upon all of this that it may have had pretty much nothing to do with healthcare and everything to do with most people being the sort to loudly complain yet remain disorganized and ineffectual - it's really not that unique of a roadblock or inefficiency to find or stumble across in a person's life and the Internet makes it all the more apparent and also contributes to it...
"Hashtag activism"
Loneliness can hit despite these circumstances so I am really curious about what happened in his life to push him to do what he did, and what he was doing when he went dark for six months. There's a lot of mystery wrapped up in this case.
Not really (from my perspective) - I'm replying to the "mystery" part.
Just as incel writing/areas of the internet can drive people to isolationism, anger and sometimes violence so to can intellectual writing/areas of the internet.
There's pictures and videos that can totally fuck up your mind and mental well being for years and there is also writing that can do the same.
Hint: there's a reason why I vague post about this kind of stuff - there is writing you can read out there that will make you totally miserable, depressed and anxious and destroy your life either for months or years or forever. I wouldn't seek it out tbh and I wouldn't share it.
It sounds like he gazed into the abyss for too long, asked "how do I curate my social media feed", couldn't figure out how to do so... And then the abyss gazed back.
It also kind of explains why he has this grand masterplan with a 3d printed gun and shit and then sort of fumbled after the actual shooting took place.
