Dude, you’re preaching to the choir. Obvious stuff. We all know that. We are simply looking at potential motive. About triggers for sociopaths and the obvious fact that sociopathic narcissists hang out on social media. What all of us are saying, here, is that we seem to have a lot of people who are are attracted to social media but who are also triggered by social media, and we have seen, in this country, a lot of people wacking out on social media or due to social media. And it isn’t necessarily due to “mental illness.” We’ve had many cases of people here abusing, or raping, or killing people and broadcasting it via social media who were found mentally fit to stand trial.
See "
Motive and Intent are Different; Except When They Aren't."
So we were simply discussing motive and/or intent, and what possibly triggered this woman: perhaps a narcissistic sociopath, who started off as a PETA activist but then started getting YouTube hits and perhaps saw herself as a star not reaching her desired audience, then (illogically) saw herself as a victim of a government conspiracy of Nazis; obviously that’s all fucking wrong, but it was still her motive from an investigation standpoint. Investigators know she didn’t work there, it wasn’t a domestic dispute, it wasn’t terrorism, it wasn’t random, etc. That’s what we do, here. It’s how the law looks at it, it’s how an investigation looks at it, so it’s how we reflexively look at it and discuss it. Not as JUSTIFICATION, but as potential motive and intent. NO motive is a “GOOD” motive. But in an investigation, we are at least not chasing a red herring of jihadist terrorism.
I think some people also have the “if you poke the sociopathic bear, you can get bit” mindset, as well. Meaning that social media is filled with sociopaths, so when social media companies start fucking with them then shit might happen. Because a lot of their customers are sociopaths.
Anyway, you’re just being deliberately argumentative and playing devil’s advocate to no good end? This whole topic should be split off into its own thread if we are going to go into the psychology weeds, here.
