“You girls have never been attracted to me,” Rodger said in the chilling and self-pitying monologue he recorded and uploaded to YouTube minutes before the killing began on May 23. “I don’t know why you girls aren’t attracted to me, but I will punish you for it.” The self-described virgin then went on to describe how he intended to go to the UCSB’s “hottest” sorority house on his “day of retribution” and “slaughter every single spoiled, stuck-up blonde slut I see inside there.”

“If I can’t have you, girls,” he added, “I will destroy you.”

Before he shot himself in the head, Rodger had posted a great deal of material reflecting his obsessive hatred of women, and he also repeatedly ranted against the black, Indian and Asian men he saw as undeserving of sex with white women — despite the fact that his own mother was Malaysian. It also quickly emerged that he had been treated for mental health problems for many years, was extremely isolated socially, but still saw himself as “the supreme gentleman” who was unfairly denied what he viewed as his right: sex with beautiful, blonde women.

The authorities said that Rodger appeared to have been planning for his deadly rampage for at least a year, legally buying three handguns and training at a local firing range. In November, on a website called PUAHate.com, he wrote of going on the offensive: “If we can’t solve our problems we must DESTROY our problems,” he said, going on to urge men to “overthrow this oppressive feminist system.” He added: “Start envisioning a world where WOMEN FEAR YOU.”

But that didn’t negate a basic lesson of the whole Santa Barbara tragedy. Just as white supremacist websites help fuel the violence of professional racists, and just as the propaganda of the militia movement has nurtured terrorist attacks by so-called “Patriots,” the manosphere and what Elliot Rodger characterized in his manifesto as its “War on Women” provides moral support to angry and violent Americans.

1. Why is vengeful hatred not designated as a mental illness?

[FiveGoodMen]

4. Currently, it forms the basis of our culture, religion, economy, and government

5. Because...

Republicans do it.

Seriously... I think it had something to do with the Catholic church. Wouldn't let psychiatrists call cold-blooded psychotic killers evil. Wouldn't allow them to be called "sinners." Must have been something about cutting into their "thunder." (as I remember from the book People of the Lie: The Hope For Healing Human Evil by M Scott Peck, MD., pub 1983)

6. Or why is bigotry considered a difference of opinion?

I think it is a thought disorder too.
