An 18-year-old man suspected of planning attacks against women has been charged by France’s anti-terrorism prosecutors in the country’s first case to be exclusively linked to the “incel” movement.
So the anti-terrorism laws have been used before and apply to all terrorism…
My comment is mocking that incel - which basically means single and upset about it, is being made central to the headline.
Just say he’s a misogynist. Pretending it’s something abnormal for single men to not be having sex just extends the premise of “incels” (the idea that they should be upset about it, or that it’s extra).
I’d call your user name “weird”, but I’m not one to use social pressures like that, and would rather have conversations where the actual issues and causes are discussed.
You seem deaf to what I’m saying. There are cultural tensions involved. Yes people choose their ethical compliances but those choices are always constrained by cultural, educational, and structural bounds. The cultural messaging of the time.
Before this generation were the first school shooters, before them it was satanic panic related crimes, before them it was the first post WW2 street gangs.
These are all topics that insert violence into cultural frameworks without having the necessary discussions of causes and the messaging around these frameworks.
PNAT laws increase the severity of all terrorism related prosecutions. They aren’t aimed at “incels” in particular.
Hitler, great replacement, and communicating with women, aren’t incel traits. That last one in particular.
That’s far-right stuff.
Plenty of leftwing incels.
That’s a different case like my quote from the article clearly states.

Yeah they think it’s extraordinary to not be having sex when single, so it’s women’s fault.
When being sexless is the majority of what being single means.
Stop trying to equate incel and singles not having sex.
It’s weird and makes no sense.

I chose my username just as the person this article is referring to chose to be an incel.

I’m trying to normalize that singles aren’t having sex…
… because the feeling that young men not having sex is abnormal causes a bad mindset.
To be clear this article is about a self-declared incel who tried to target women.
Get off your soapbox it’s not the place for it.
You’ll often find discussions in the comments section (also your first comment to me asked me to explain my views).
