Van driven down Toronto sidewalk

    Muslims aren't the only ones with a fucked up view of sexuality and/or who can't get laid.

    But, they do commit acts of terror at a rate that outpaces others.

    And, they're promised 72 virgins when they die a martyr.

    I got a hundred that says Google engineer James Damore is part of the incel movement.

    Well, I missed this update to the story:

    Minutes before turning his van onto a Toronto sidewalk on Monday, killing 10 people and injuring more than a dozen others, Alek Minassian wrote a post on Facebook, according to the Canadian authorities.

    In it, he praised Elliot Rodger, who in 2014 shot and killed six people in Isla Vista, Calif. Mr. Minassian, 25, also wrote of an “incel rebellion,” referring to a term, shorthand for “involuntary celibates,” used online by a community of misogynists to describe themselves.

    “The Incel Rebellion has already begun!” the posting read. “We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!”

    Glad I didn't make my usual "I hope they find a motive" post.

    But, Dick and his buddy appear to not understand the movement. It's not that they can't get laid. It's a voluntary movement.

    Do you know what "involuntary" means?

    What these guys don't seem to understand is that it is really, really difficult for almost all 18- to 30-year-old guys to get laid.

    Judging from my divorced friends' experiences, things seem to loosen up in your late 30s and early 40s.

    No. Incel = “involuntary celibacy.”

    Not necessarily. There’s a lot of flavors to modern misogyny.

    Involuntarily Celibate is the name they’ve chosen for themselves, but in my experience what they mean is “I can’t date out of my league so society is broken.”
