A Dose of (Capitalizing on a Tragedy) Stupid

Not exactly a surprise, we already know a troll (that I'm not going to dignify with a link or quote or name) who didn't wait 10mn to link Breivik to us, even though the shooter's racist and anti-left leanings are far removed from what the MRM is trying to achieve.

While I believe that Breivik is typical of a certain kind of man this society is bound to produce, he chose a fight that has nothing to do with us, and methods that will achieve nothing except bloodshed, and some short-lived infamy.

I'm actually surprised (though glad) this doesn't happen more often. As men face increasing irrelevance and prejudice, expect more fragile minds to snap in violent ways.

Mark Ames wrote an interesting book, "Going Postal", on the Western phenomenon of the crazed shooter. He has an interesting theory about what triggers his appearance, one I think a lot of people currently trying to make hay of this tragedy should read. And then take a long look in the mirror.

We were called disgusting and accused of trying to capitalize on this to attack feminism. And then that subreddit, possibly the same people, turned around and did the same. Trolls will troll. Move along.
