For instance, why is it almost never the "beer-swilling gun-toting teabilly flyover country deplorable neanderthal" that commits those crimes, even though the mass news media always wants it to be? IMHO, it's because the guys that fit that description were raised a certain way. It's not that conservative types don't kill folks, but that they typically would have beef with an individual over something specific, and then go after that individual. Not as easy to "groom" that sort of person to commit mass murder. A collectivist type, however, they have grievance against groups as a matter of their ideological makeup. Much easier to find someone among that crowd to "groom" to commit mass murder when that type of person already blames their problems on a bunch of random people. I'm not a psych major, and I've probably got this all wrong, but that's just my take on the subject.
According to the CIA Manual:
And there you have it. The CIA, and almost certainly many other organizations, carefully recruit political and religious fanatics for assassinations. And while they are at it they work to insure the recruiting organization is not identified as initiating the attack.In lost assassination, the assassin must be a fanatic of some sort. Politics, religion, and revenge are about the only feasible motives. Since a fanatic is unstable psychologically, he must be handled with extreme care. He must not know the identities of the other members of the organization, for although it is intended that he die in the act, something may go wrong.
