Maybe there's some pop psychologist who can put better terminology to it but I've always thought it made sense removed from political motivation, removed from personal infamy seeking or other direct motivation and rather as a product of a fatalist worldview. I'm not sure if that's the best term to describe it, but people who sink into a degree of nihilistic self-loathing that goes beyond depression into a hatred for life and the world around them. Usually young men who aren't getting laid and are addled by hormones, people who could be snapped out of it with any actual hardship in their life. Suicidal psychos who are more likely to search for and latch onto a political/ideological/religious cause to excuse their own destructive/self-destructive aims. Hence the difference between transgender identity being a causal versus predictive factor. The anti-social losers are drawn to fringe identity, fringe political, fringe militancy and kill or die for some ill considered nonsense without having any actual impact on the world or their cause.

The MAGA bomber who lived in a truck fully covered in Trump stickers, and the transgender gunmen who ambushed ICE agents in texas- are they really that difference? Are their beliefs the result of critical reflections on world events and their sincere convictions, or were they just losers who latched onto a cause and hyped themselves into it

Woman in Maine attempted to run over Border Patrol agents as they arrested illegal aliens
went like this;

>two illegal aliens crash a truck into a tree and flip it and are trapped
>state patrol responds, extricates two other passengers from the wreck
>two that did not require rescue- driver and front seat passenger- were obviously illegal aliens, and state patrol contacted border patrol
>border patrol shows up and questions the two, one has a colombian passport, one an invalid ID, neither speak english
>leftist drives up to the scene in a lexus, sees the two being arrested, harasses officers and is told to leave
>leftist gets in her lexus, drives straight at officers who draw guns and point them at her
>she swerves and flees, the state patrol pursue but she crashes her lexus right away, because of course she does

Both students were apparently suspended over this video but continued with their plot to commit a mass shooting. On November 6, a school resource officer discovered more videos and pictures of the suspect making threats against classmates. When confronted, both students “admitted to having school shooter ideations.”
....
The student was arrested on suspicion of making terrorist threats and referred to juvenile authorities. It is unclear what, if anything, she was charged with and convicted of as juvenile records in Wisconsin are sealed.
....
At no point did the Waukesha School District inform families of the ongoing threat the student posed, and multiple whistleblowers have come forward with fears that this was because she is transgender and district officials “were worried about backlash against the transgender community.”
