The model for the current GOP can be fairly described as a cross between Lanza and Sidney Powell. Every Republican is somewhere on that spectrum between spectacularly violent and compulsively dishonest.
Are we certain that these shooters would not have been serial killers in 1980? Are we certain they’re not the 1% or so of psychopaths/sociopaths inclined to violence, but adapting to a modern surveillance state?
Catherine the sheer narcissism of us being responsible for climate change..that we are too many for the earth to support...nihlism..to abotlrt an inconvenient pregnancy...resulting from the hedonism of the night befor...we are teaching our kids this. Thanks for bringing nihlism and nwrcissim of liberal culture into stark relief
What was so fascinating to me, and so troubling, is how un-psychotic and rational he sounded. Yes, his theories were deeply peculiar and not necessarily expressed completely coherently, but he arrived at them through a clearly considered thought process. Perhaps the interaction with the commentator he perceived as so hostile is a clue for how, exactly, he got pulled so far into what was clearly an act of evil. When confronted with a challenge to his philosophy his response was to pull away completely rather than reflect and moderate. Indeed, it's that very demand for moderation that seems to be so offensive to him--that's really what culture is doing (at least as he formulated it), moderating our internal instincts.
Anyways, certainly no easy path to address a situation like his. Just ordering up some therapy isn't going to begin to address what's going on in the calculated thoughts of someone like him.
Hitler and Lanza were both Right💪 💯✅
Did he mention love at any time in the 4 parts?
I see: Adam Lanza was a liberal. That way lies the abyss, watery chaos, the worm and the flame.

Been thinking about this podcast all day.

Will part 2 cover the time Lanza called into a radio show to share his analysis of the Travis the chimp story?
