The mass murderer is not always conscious of his choice of target. The urge for spectacular publicity sometimes stems from a desire to correct an imbalance. Through the act of killing, he or she compensates for their own lack of publicity and significance.
At the end of the 20th century, people learned to no longer put up with everything. They no longer react to misfortune and injustice with the stoic calm of a cow standing in the rain.
They have been given the feeling that they deserve a certain amount of attention as individuals. Previously passive, they have now become reactive.
So even those who are potentially plagued by life, the suicide candidates, do not just think of quiet, lonely suicide. The creature betrayed by life wants to make one last mark. To give life a posthumous meaning, so to speak, through the manner of their death.
Frustration with one's own existence and disregard by a ruthlessly forward-striving society finds expression in this universal act of revenge.
The rampaging suicide-murderer seems to want to affect or strike all those who ignored him throughout his life. At least he makes history once, stands in the limelight once, and finally people are interested in his biography.
He escapes his dead life into a living death. In the certainty that for a few days he will have the almost undivided attention of the public.
This absurd hope is perhaps more real and tangible for him than his entire life he has never really lived.
Not Important is a martyr of postmodernism.
