Disagree. There is so much that he says in his manifesto, particularly towards the end, that's extremely problematic and anti-feminist. His feelings are extreme, but they aren't completely unrelated to society. Things such as sex is something that men deserve, women are objects and are less than men, White people are more attractive than all other races, etc etc—these aren't unfamiliar sentiments in America. So no, just because his opinions were extreme, does not mean that they don't say anything about our culture.
And gun control laws don't work? Then explain what exactly it is that causes other countries to have FAR less of these incidents?
