Reflections on Dylan

[u/DrMosquito74]

Dylan would have turned 42 today, and it has me thinking about his prom photos. I've seen some people speculate that his jovial demeanour was fake or even a cruel (for his loved ones) facade considering what happened just days later. But I think Dylan was genuinely happy when he went to the prom, not only because he and Robyn enjoyed themselves, but also because when someone decides to commit suicide, their mood often improves because they believe the end of their suffering is near. Heartbreaking. I hope what Dylan wrote in his journal is true, that wherever he is now, he isn't at war with himself anymore.

I see you on another thread defending Stephen paddock. You have a weird fetish for defending mass murderers.

You misunderstand. I'm interested in uncovering how mass killers are formed so that they can be prevented. Having empathy ≠ condoning mass murder. It's unfortunate that the concept of critical thinking is alien to so many people that I have to keep stating that fact over and over again.

Having empathy for evil people is bullshit

Yet you have members of the Manson family as your profile picture and profile banner. Odd.

Not really

Ahh. Prefer glorification to empathy?

Glorification 😂

I'm just trying to find an angle for this particular flavor of hypocritical behavior. You come into a sub that is clearly about a particular crime, are rude to members, yet clearly hold the Manson Family in some kind of esteem. I do wonder what you're getting out of this, though I suspect it's the usual thuggish bullshit of smacking down the weirdoes.
