I'm siding with Stu here. Pre Incel being recognised as mental health problems would be the correct diagnosis. But, as of recent, attacks and abuse of women is becoming an ideology for some. Just as the Islamist suicide bomber is deranged it is still classed as terrorism, this recent pattern of Incel attacks is now falling into the same pattern imo.

Just as the Islamist suicide bomber is deranged it is still classed as terrorism, this recent pattern of Incel attacks is now falling into the same pattern imo. Perhaps Incels might eventually become a coherent political faction who resort to terrorism to further their political aims? But what would those aims be? Terrorism has a precise definition... Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims. The term is used in this regard primarily to refer to intentional violence during peacetime or in the context of war against non-combatantsBack to Joel Cauchi, all the reporting I've read talk about his mental illness - a diagnosis of schizophrenia as a 17 year old, and a long term obsession with knives. The father did state that he believed that his son might have targeted women because “he wanted a girlfriend, he’s got no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain” Fundamentally this is a man with long term mental health problems and it doesn't appear his horrific actions were underpinned by any political agenda |

Three stabbing attacks in three days in Sydney. Only one of them is being treated as terrorism. That case led to an outbreak of civil violence as well.

I suppose classifying it as a political thing rather than a mental health thing would be giving it some kind of legitimacy?
