    I hate this stereotype. Psychopaths are often socially well adapted.

      Yeah, serial killers have to be disarming enough to pursue victims while not giving off too many social signals that they’re responsible for killing multiple people.

        Certain other types of socially challenged, outcast and or depressed hateful criminals might fit the description a lot better.

      Literally besides movies/ videogames it’s running in the woods… Ya know like a serial killer. I have to do everything in my power to make women know I’m not chasing them down. Avoid eye contact, earbuds in, wide berth

        Become the greatest of threats the serial killer killer!

        Step one: Run through woods with axe

        Step two: Find someone unfazed by said action

        Step three: Stalk them

        Step four: Explain to forest services why you are infact not insane

        Step five: Go to jail anyways

        Step six: Get out if jail

        Step seven: Repeat until change in results

    I could easily go outside and randomly shoot some strangers, but there’s also a chance that I’d have to talk to some of those strangers, so I’ll pass.

    “The world doesnt owe you anything!!!”

    -Idiots

    When that is the case, and we act like it in the US, then the reverse is also true, and you owe no allegiance or decency to the society that punches down at you.

    Maybe if humanity made it our priority to care for one another instead of working against one another to “win” a bigger pile of capital than the other guys, we wouldn’t have as many killers.

    But that will never happen, and we won’t ever take responsibility as societies for the monsters we create through our apathy and sociopathy.

    When there’s a school shooting, I feel like I’m the only person who feels for the shooter kid who had no friends and abusive/neglectful parents. No one gave a shit about that kid until he snapped. That isn’t just the immediate parents job, that is society’s job to prevent. That is the parents of the kids that picked on them’s fault, that is our underfunded social services’ fault, that is all of our faults.

    Honestly I’m surprised we don’t have more. Everyone has a breaking point, and our society is all about exploiting people to theirs for private profit, and then throwing them away like garbage when they’re no longer effective capital batteries. Then everyone acts shocked and horrified when they don’t just go off and die peacefully and silently.
