Just read the Montreal mass shooter's entire 104 page manifesto. I regret to inform you that it's actually pretty interesting. Ignore any simpleton who tries to reduce his ideology to simple "left" or "right" -- or even "incel." His main ideological belief is opposing "hypergamy," which he blames for creating a social system where most men, he claims, are heinously deprived of female romantic connection. He therefore opposes capitalism, which he views as a primary enabler of hypergamy. He praises (what he calls) communist societies such as China, North Korea, and the Soviet Union, in contrast with the "West," because he claims communist societies are superior at engendering communal structures that facilitate monogamy, wherein the average man has better access to stable female partners. He does recommend reading the works of Marx, Stalin, Robespierre, and other Left-wing revolutionaries. He also attacks conservatives for "swindling" average men by getting them needlessly focused on supporting conservative politicians, who they are falsely led to believe will support their class interests. And he opposes Christianity. However, he also inveighs against "mass immigration," cultural degeneracy, leftists, liberals, Trans Stuff, and so on. It appears he may have targeted his mass shooting attack at the headquarters and/or CEO of a porn company (PornHub?) in Montreal. Indeed, porn companies are one of the targets he recommends his followers planning attacks against, because he regards pornography as one of the vilest contributors to male suffering and larger cultural degeneracy. He gives advice on how to cultivate good intellectual habits (reading lots of books, giving up video games, moderate physical conditioning, firearms training) so as to best enact revolutionary violence. Here are the ideological movements he recommends followers of his movement infiltrate, if they are not inclined toward violence, and prefer to overthrow the "hypergamy state" through legal or political methods: conservative socialism, Duginism, communism, Islamic theocracy. So those are the ideological tendencies he would regard as most compatible with his own -- particularly, I would say, "conservative socialism." He attacks both Left and Right (not uncommon with Higher IQ mass shooters) and encourages assassinating both Left and Right-wing political figures. This guy was not some mentally ill crank like some other mass shooters, nor was he one of the guys who just copy-and-pastes a pre-existing internet brain manifesto -- see the guys who did the San Diego mass shooting a few weeks ago. He is reasonably high-intelligence and well-read. "Incel"? Sure, I guess, but I've personally never seen an "incel" manifesto that is so well-versed in political economy, history, biology, literature, and even meticulously cites peer-reviewed studies. This was a smart guy who knew exactly what he was doing, and planned it long in advance -- although it appears he wasn't successful in assassinating the PornHub CEO. He's substantively off on a lot of the gender stuff obviously, but he clearly spent a lot of time systematically thinking about it, and putting together what has got to be the most well-written mass shooter manifesto I've read in a long time.
