These workplace and school shooters are primarily motivated by narcissism. They realize that there's nothing left for them to achieve and that they'll never be eternalized or hold power positions and for a true narcissist that's the single most crushing thing possible. Then they see the news peppered with stories of mass shootings and realize these people will go down in history for killing people.
So, obviously, they find that the best way to gain the attention they crave is to kill as many people as possible because hey, it actually does work. Even if they die in the process they generally know that they wouldn't want to continue living in a prison cage or in their lowly lifestyle so it seems like an excellent way out to these people. After all, why is Alexander the Great "Great"? Because he killed a stupid amount of people. It's rare for a great mind to be eternalized, we're all much more aware of the totalitarian homicidal dictators than we are of great scientists.
So, since I'm a bit of an anti-narcissist and just generally hate every square centimeter about myself and every single defective neuron in my brain, dislike the spotlight and have no motivation to do pretty much anything except eat and make long rants about little-discussed topics, I'm probably one of the safest people in the world. |

"why is Alexander the Great "Great"?"
Because he was a successful commander and created one of the largest empires of ancient times in his 20's? |

And killed a stupid amount of people. And eradicated an entire (ENTIRE) other empire for no other reason than spite and desire for their riches. |

| What I'm trying to say is that he isn't JUST a murderer like these school shooters are, he managed an empire at such a young age, founded cities like Alexandria, encouraged cultural diffusion, and heavily influenced the Romans. |

| For the most part, he brutally murdered the Persians cause all his life, he was told that he was a son of the gods and his destiny was to defeat Darius and the rest of the Persians, especially by his ambitious parents. |

| It's better when the news companies don't show the faces of the shooter, and only show the faces of the victims. The shooters want to be seen and remembered and they shouldn't be. |

| I thought this thread was going to be one of those edgy ones where the description is "i like them xDD". But no, this is probably the only normal thread I've ever seen on OT. And I think the same way, they only do it for attention. Nice one, Zekrit. |
