Sante Fe Shooting: Another Entitled Male Loser
Gun violence in the U.S. has continued its inevitable horror. Once again, it's a man-child, a boy wearing a death mask, with a broken sense of self, that pulled the trigger.
Shana Fisher, who had just turned 16, told this loser she wasn't interested. For months. She did everything that MRAs and apologists claim women should do to avoid facing toxic masculine violence. And when she finally had enough of this fuckboi's bullshit, she made fun of him in public.
I can imagine how it went.
"Enough is enough. I've been polite. What do you need to hear? Go fuck yourself. I'm not interested."
She made it clear enough. But Mr. Niceguy had his wittle fewilings hewt.
He shot her. He murdered her. He murdered ten people and injured 12 more.
At the risk of sounding like a complete fool, which I probably often do, the fact that this loser had both an Iron Cross and a Hammer & Sickle on his trench coat stood out to me. It was significant.
The two symbols, to the politically literate, represent the opposite sides of the political spectrum. Holding them together is a kind of schizophrenia of political truths.
And yet, isn't that exactly the mindset of this 'resentful white identity'? Isn't that the mindset of this loser's obsession? A schizophrenic reality where the women's rejection made no sense. Where 'no' couldn't be possible, only the connection between him and this women despite her consistent rejection. This fuckboi's mind existed in a reality where her rejection was a universal impossibility because he maintained the idea that she belonged to him. This was male entitlement in its most basic sense.
Is that not schizophrenic? Where ownership over the female body, to success in the job market, to an easy and clear path to victory are all considered entitlements?
Is it not a schizophrenia, a distortion of the real, to assume that one deserves these things simply because they are white/male? And the consequence of ascribing to such a delusion is the fragile psyche, always ready to shatter into a sociopathic death drive..
The delusion from existing in a non-culture, a dearth of real life, where commodification has obfuscated any ability to become outside capital's alienation, is the arena where such an absurd combination of ideas could sit proudly on the black trench coat later used to hide a shotgun.
That absurd, fragile, white male ego...presenting itself like a child with a shitty drawing, seeking affirmation of it's impossible truth.
As always, this death will continue as the politicians in the United States don't actually give a shit about changing anything. The far right lunatics (5% of the population own like 90% of the firearms in the country) are scared of brown and black people. They legitimately believe sharia law is coming, and of course that 'sharia law' is a specter of their own white fears. Democrats are neoliberal shills with on real concern for the working class.
It's going to continue happening because the ruling class doesn't give a shit so long as their children are 'safe'.
God dammit, again with those motherpeckin’ crackers. There is a certain attitude that they act like priviledged taffers and that no one is deserving of that respect that they demand. May Davy Jone’s Locker be the first ones to consume their souls when a revolution happen! In any case, that kiddo was and shall be the one of the most pecked up taffer I read up to date.

Rejection is one of the most difficult emotions to deal with and process. Men need to be able to feel they can express themselves and their emotions. Going to a counselor isn't the answer either- so much of the problem is people who should love and care for their own pawning them off on professionals because frankly they don't want to face the problems themselves. Our society (U.S.) has become a society of avoiders and pill takers. We need for familys and friends to step up and help with each others internal pain. Who knows what this kids background was like but at the root of his motivation was he couldn't handle rejection.
For the person on the receiving in end it does feel like being treated like property, the entitlement you speak of. But I think (an opinion so obviously the lowest form of thought here) the rage is born out of not having a proper emotional "valve" to release.
I mean, speaking from my own experience, growing up was a shit show in terms of learning to express myself. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized how much I put my anger on other people, or back at myself. The issue is that men are socialized to be like this because of anachronistic and toxic ideas about what 'men' are supposed to be like.
I think a counselor is great but I agree that the U.S. in a larger sense suffers from a kind of country wide horror of alienation.
My main argument in the post above was that this shooter fit an archetype of an entitled, resentful, alienated (white?) male. And the basis for their identity isn't natural, but socially developed. I agree there is no valve for release, but take it further. Why is the rage there in the first place?
"The two symbols, to the politically literate, represent the opposite sides of the political spectrum. Holding them together is a kind of schizophrenia of political truths."
I hadn't noticed the iron cross when I first saw the coat, but after you pointed it out, yes, I right away deemed it contradictory and dumb.
"This fuckboi's mind existed in a reality where her rejection was a universal impossibility because he maintained the idea that she belonged to him. This was male entitlement in its most basic sense."
I hadn't thought of it like that, but then again, I didn't know he was after a girl who rejected him. Regardless, that's a good point: Maybe ideology had a role in the matter.
Many people here in Italy want to change the yet strict laws about gun detention. They claim we're "under attack", "streets are no longer safe", "a person must be able to defend himself from thieves".
I strongly hope we don't imitate too much the USA in this field, because only gun control can keep the inevitable count of victims of psycopaths low.
This, beshide the other topic you touched... that is the loss of values and sanity in this consumer society
Yeah I'm ambivalent about guns in that, though I like them (they're fun to shoot for target practice) they're still terrifying. They reduce the difficulty of murder.
I hope Italy continues to make it difficult to acquire a weapon. Those same people afraid of 'thieves' will likely end up doing what Americans do: shooting dark skinned humans because they felt scared
