> Is there a subset of men who are almost mass shooters? That is, they never become quite deranged enough to commit a mass shooting event, but lurk among us, unstable and volatile? Or perhaps estranged and depressed?
Well yeah, obviously. Newest stats say that 63% of young men in the USA are single. And it's not just the USA; in my country (Poland) it's over 50% too.
It's actually surprising how few incidents there were so far. It's not just that men are single - they're also treated with utter contempt.
Wikipedia on polygyny contains this:
> Other research shows that polygyny is widely practiced where societies are destabilized, more violent, more likely to invade neighbors and more likely to fail. This has been attributed to the inequality factor of polygyny, where if the richest and most powerful 10 percent of males have four wives each, the bottom 30 percent of males cannot marry.
30% of males cannot marry... a problem? These are rookie numbers, how about 60%, lol? Yet still, Wikipedia article on incels is blatantly hostile.
Supposedly _average_ human male is not "entitled" to interact with the opposite sex. He should just keep existing, maybe work (which benefits the opposite sex, given that taxes effectively transfer wealth from men to women) 'till he goes extinct. Totally reasonable expectations for a product of evolution.
I wonder if people who think so will change their mind if they have a son. Who, statistically, will probably not be the one with a harem.
Has the "age of discord" ever not ring a bell in these trying times? And are we in the 1920s/1930s all over again? What do you think are actionable (assuming that most of these shooters are culture-leaning middle class kids drugged up by psychiatrists and have abusive parents) https://peterturchin.com/age-of-discord/
