People keep blaming Elliot Rodger for society falling apart, but that's missing the real issue. Homicidal urges didn't start with Rodger; society just stopped repressing them. The truth is, some men have intense desires to lash out violently - sometimes stronger than their desire for pizza or Netflix. For most of history, those urges were controlled through shame, religion, and rigid social norms like "thou shalt not kill." Men get murderous thoughts, just like they get hungry or sleepy. Now that those restraints are loosening - thanks, modern permissiveness! - guys like Elliot are finally acting on desires they always had. This isn't some new cultural sickness; it's human nature unleashed once you take the leash off. The problem isn't Rodger expressing his "truth"; it's that society was too comfortable with the lie that men are naturally peaceful and don't fantasize about mowing down their enemies.

What you're seeing today isn't homicidal empowerment creating chaos; it's a society that doesn't know how to deal with real male violent agency. Women assumed they'd always be safe walking around, but now some guys are acting on their inner rage, and it's not always directed at "deserving" targets. Instead of blaming Rodger or his manifesto, society needs to adapt to the reality that homicidal impulses aren't weak or passive. If you can't dodge a spree, whining won't save you. The solution isn't going back to the 1950s with all those pesky laws and morals; it's learning to deal with the truth - some dudes just wanna kill. Stop hiding from it and start running faster.
