oped: Transcript of Retribution Video:
Hi. Elliot Rodger here.
Well, this is my last
video, it has all had to come to this. Tomorrow is the day of
retribution, the day in which I will have my revenge against humanity,
against all of you. For the last eight years of my life, ever since I
hit puberty, I've been forced to endure an existence of loneliness,
rejection and unfulfilled desires all because girls have never been
attracted to me. Girls gave their affection, and sex and love to other
men but never to me.
I'm 22 years old and
I'm still a virgin. I've never even kissed a girl. I've been through
college for two and a half years, more than that actually, and I'm still
a virgin. It has been very torturous. College is the time when everyone
experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure. Within those
years, I've had to rot in loneliness. It's not fair.
You girls have never
been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me,
but I will punish you all for it. It's an injustice, a crime,
because... I don't know what you don't see in me. I'm the perfect guy
and yet you throw yourselves at these obnoxious men instead of me, the
supreme gentleman.
I will punish all of
you for it. (laughs) On the day of retribution I'm going to enter the
hottest sorority house of UCSB. And I will slaughter every spoiled,
stuck-up, blond slut I see inside there. All those girls I've desired so
much, they would have all rejected me and looked down upon me as an
inferior man if I ever made a sexual advance towards them (scoffs) while
they throw themselves at these obnoxious brutes. I'll take great
pleasure in slaughtering all of you.
You will finally see
that I am in truth the superior one. The true alpha male. (laughs) Yes.
After I've annihilated every single girl in the sorority house, I will
take to the streets of Isla Vista and slay every single person I see
there. All those popular kids who live such lives of hedonistic
pleasures while I've had to rot in loneliness for all these years.
They've all looked down upon me every time I tried to go out and join
them, they've all treated me like a mouse.
Well now I will be a
god compared to you. You will all be animals. You are animals and I will
slaughter you like animals. And I will be a god. Exacting my
retribution on all those who deserve it. You do deserve it. Just for the
crime of living a better life than me. All you popular kids, you've
never accepted me, and now you will all pay for it. And girls, all I
ever wanted was to love you, and to be loved by you. I've wanted a
girlfriend, I've wanted sex, I've wanted love, affection, adoration. You
think I'm unworthy of it. That's a crime that can never be forgiven.
If I can't have you,
girls, I will destroy you. (laughs) You denied me a happy life, and in
turn, I will deny all of you life. (laughs) It's only fair.
I hate all of you.
Humanity is a disgusting, wretched, depraved species. If I had it in my
power, I would stop at nothing (points finger at camera) to reduce every
single one of you to mountains of skulls and rivers of blood. And
rightfully so.
You deserve to be annihilated and I'll give that to you. You never showed me any mercy and so I will show you none. (laughs)
You've forced me to
suffer all my life and now I'll force you all suffer. I've waited a long
time for this. I'll give you exactly what you deserve. All of you. All
you girls who rejected me and looked down upon me and you know, treated
me like scum while you gave yourselves to other men. And all of you men,
for living a better life than me, all of you sexually active men, I
hate you. I hate all of you. I can't wait to give you exactly what you
deserve. Utter annihilation. (laughs)
Erick Erickson
Another young man has turned to violence. Stabbing some and shooting others, he wanted to exact revenge for some rejecting him.
In a “war on women” culture, some vocal voices have seized on this as what happens to men questing for a fully masculine culture. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
Society used to expect men to open doors, protect their families, and be champions of modesty and virtue. But chivalry is dead. Instead of men and women complimenting each other, they’re supposed to be perfectly equal even if they are not. The hook up culture, instant gratification, and selfishness pervade our culture.
Young men need role models. But all the role models are now considered outmoded creations of Victorian society and the fifties. In the world of having the most toys and getting the most hookups, life becomes far too expendable and some young men cannot cope.
What happened in California not a political cause or issue. It’s an issue of social failing. It has nothing to do with masculine culture and a great deal to do with a culture that has lost its way while trying to find something new.
It is a tragedy.
