6: Gone ER.
Elliott Rodger, "the supreme gentleman," committed a heinous act of domestic terror in Isla Vista, California in 2014, earning the nonstop attention of media, and an ironic martyrdom in the incelosphere, to the point that "going ER" has become a meme. In this episode of INCEL, Naama examines his downfall and pathway to intended violence with his manifesto- a primary source revealing his cognitive processes. βββββββββββββββββββββ She follows this story by detailing each incel or incel-adjacent massacre that followed in the years to come, most of whom were "copycats," who attributed Rodger in some way. Is this community a radicalization vector? Why is this happening?
