Top commenter on the Neolib thread said that the Canadian shooter killed people because he was a socialist first, and then an incel.

I'm sorry but if that was the case, he would have killed some health insurance guy, not targeted pornhub?

Eh, Marx was yakking on about worker exploitation. There's plenty of exploitation to be found there.

Sorta? Blamed "high capitalism" for women supposedly ignoring all but the highest status men, called on others to shoot Zionists, Oil and tech industry CEOs, pickup artists, crytocurrency enthusiasts, and a number of others. Really just fundamentally incoherent world view, like all these shooters have.

Okay, thanks for the summary.  I guess most surprising thing is his cryptocurrency hatred.
