This is going to be a memory lane trip for Kat and me, because Kat, you also spent a sizable chunk of the aughts spending way too much time reading about incredibly online right-wing maniacs, right?
Yes.
Yes, I did.
Yeah.
Who are we talking about?
Great question.
Have you heard of clavicular?
Oh my fucking God.
Are we talking about clavicular today?
A bit, yes.
Today and tomorrow, we'll talk about him a bit.
We're explaining how you get from, you know, May 23rd, 2014, when Elliot Rodger goes on his shooting spree and killing spree in Isla Vista, California, which killed six and injured 14 and was like the first big incel mass murder event, right?
And it's kind of the thing that put incels...
on the map.
I'm going to guess most of the audience, the first time you heard incel was in the wake of that spree killing, right?
Unless you were a very online weirdo prior to May 23rd, 2014, you probably hadn't heard of these people.
