Secret Service report details growing threat of "incel" terrorism



Anew Secret Service report highlights a concerning rise in terrorism threats posed by men who called themselves "involuntary celibate," often refered to as "incels."

The 26-page report, released on Tuesday by the Secret Service's National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC), documents a sharp uptick in incel-fueled attacks against women over the past decade.

"The term 'incel' is often used to describe men who feel unable to obtain romantic or sexual relationships with women, to which they feel entitled," the report notes.

Researchers put a particular emphasis on the case of Scott Beierle, 40, who in 2018 shoot several women at a Florida yoga studio. According to the report, Beierle had a long history of warning signs leading up to the shooting. CBS reports that he'd previously been fired from several teaching jobs, and banned from numerous restaurants and apartment buildings. .........(more)

1. This is what happens when you promise yourself something

and other people fail to deliver.

In this case, males feeling entitled to sexual activity with a member of the female gender.

But it applies elsewhere too, like promising yourself a rich lifestyle, a permanent job, academic success, etc.

Where it all goes wrong, is in blaming those 'others', the one that don't deliver to your requirements, and the rage just builds up.

The easy availability of guns doesn't help there.

Know your limits. Don't blame your disappointment on others.
That level of insight and wisdom escapes some, all of their lives. *Failed 45 for example.*
Others come to it late in life.

6. It's almost like sexual intimacy is an actual psychological need

And being forever alone causes people to go a bit crazy. No, porn is not a substitute for a real human actually wanting you and having an emotional connection with them.

and don't think think they're entitled to it either.To most people it is a relationship. Not ownership like these incel fuckwads expect. They are toxic male narcissists.I suggest a way to ease their "pain" cut it all off. Balls and all. make them sit down to pee.The testosterone go down and they will not be eager to show them there is no there there their sex drive will diminish and they might decide to leave women the fuck alone. There are zeta males in animal social groups who go their whole lives without sex.That is natural too.

if you suck at being a human being I garuntee nobody wants to relate to you.

I am asexual Never wanted sex I'm actually I am repulsed by it. I am ok with that. When I was younger I went along with sex thinking I was bad or something because it was boring. I never liked it. So now I am content being who I am. No more pressure to like something I don't. There are a million other things I'd rather do than have sex. There are plenty of people like me we are asexuals. For some people this is normal.

(semi because they do occasionally have Gfs, but that never lasts for long, lol). They REALLY have no excise as both are actually pretty hawt. smdh

They are banned from our house after multiple incidents of raw stupidity and comments (plus harassing our female friends at our parties we have).

12. I'd go out on a limb and say all terrorism is the result of toxic male narcissism.
