I can't remember where I read it, but the comment was along the lines of "They'll go all Sodini" on them. I didn't recognize the name so I Googled it. Sigh.
George Sodini, who was in his late 40s, entered a fitness center and murdered four women, then killed himself. Sodini hated women because he felt he was ignored and rejected by them. In a word, humiliated.
When people feel humiliated, they sometimes seek to restore their lost pride by revenge. This can include murder (think Cain killing Abel, which was the attempt to replace shame with pride).
I am also reminded of Seung-Hui Cho, who killed 32 people in Virginia. It's clear to me Cho was utterly unpopular with women, was a virgin, never had a girlfriend, and had never kissed a girl. People made fun of him in high school. In a word, like Sodini,he felt humiliated. He got his revenge and went out in a blaze of glory.
Then we have James Holmes, another complete loser with women. Holmes had struck out with three women on a sex site and was described “a shy, pretty socially inept person.”
It's pretty bad when you can't even get a slut to fuck you.
By the way, when I say "loser" there is no moral condemnation in that description. A loser is someone who loses, that's all. We're all losers in some way or another.
I go out of my way to not humiliate people, since I know what it can do to them. And this is from a man who is not a particularly nice guy (I was once described as "a gentleman and a barbarian").
There are three concepts I keep in mind: mentor, model, mirror.
A mentor who someone who teaches you. A model is someone you imitate.
A mirror is what people reflect back to you. When people reject, ignore and humiliate you, they are a mirror in which you see those things. We become what we behold.
Humiliation followed by revenge - the attempt to replace shame with pride - is so well-established I consider it a science.
By the way, the word "recognize" means "to look twice."
One of the worst punishments is ostracism. That's why solitary confinement is such a horrible thing. And when you get someone ignored, that's ostracism. It's worse than solitary confinement. It's being invisible.
And of course you can make yourself visible - and have people recognize you - by violence. It is the easiest and cheapest way to make people pay attention to you. And you get revenge and restore your lost pride to boot.
Whenever I Google "humiliation revenge murder" I always get someone saying "I committed murder to get revenge for my humiliation." As I have pointed out many times, that's the lesson of the first recorded murder in the West - Cain killing Abel.
For the last few months I have been reading the Manosphere (before then I had never even heard of it). One of the concepts is that of the Omega, which are men who are complete losers with women. They are the men who commit the kinds of murders I've mentioned.
Another concept is that of the Alpha, who are supposed to be the most popular of men. They are also supposed to be immune to what women say because they don't take them seriously. And that is more important than it sounds.
Feminism, which is leftist/lesbian, has never been about equality. It's been about exploiting, abusing and humiliating men. The Manosphere, which is reaction to feminism, is in some ways about becoming immune to what women say and do. Hence, that is why an Alpha is not supposed to take women seriously. In other words, to devalue them as feminism devalued men.
This doesn't mean that the Manosphere isn't in some ways a necessary corrective to feminism. But it does mean that in other ways it devalues women as feminism devalued men.
You see Humiliation followed by Revenge in the movies all the time. Think Charles Bronson in Death Wish and Russell Crowe in Gladiator. And of course I could go on and on.
There is a way around the humiliated seeking revenge. Success is the best antidote. Who hasn't heard, "Living well is the best revenge"? It's true.
The problem, of course, is being successful. That's the rub.
