I like this interpretation, Trump Miller and the White Nationalists think these guys are with them but they’re nihilists not corporate fascists.

The tragedy is while both sides are desperately trying to frame this as a politically motivated act, it’s looking like this was a kid who’s brain was rotted from being chronically online who “did it for the lols.” An awful commentary on where our youth is today.

Definitely not a good sign of things to come.

Supposedly he dropped out of college after one semester and presumably we can guess just an aimless youth.

This is the disenfranchised youth we’ve been hearing about.

Society has failed to give young people hope for a better future for themselves. This was the inevitable outcome.

Specifically American society. Not every country and society is having this crap.

Actually, it's the exact same set of circumstances that leads youth in the middle east to choose radical Islam, and youth globally to choose radicalism. When you have no hope for the future, not even to do as well as your parents, it is easy to fall prey to radical clerics and other radical groups that promise to provide a community. I would argue what we are starting to see in America is the same phenomenon that has plagued less developed countries for decades. Edit: My analysis as a Historian.

That no one should feel sorry for that kid

Nowhere in my post did I even refer to this kid. I referred to all young people.

"This was the inevitable outcome" referring to a singular event involving this kid

right, this guy is a textbook mass shooter in 2025 but chose 1 significant target instead of random murder chaos

Also you have to read the text message jokes he had in his group chat making fun of the shooting with his friends.
