Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, allegedly killed 15 people during New Year's celebrations in New Orleans, despite appearing successful on paper.
Jabbar's personal issues, including three acrimonious divorces, led him to radicalization through toxic masculinity and online influences.
The article draws parallels between Jabbar and Matthew Livelsberger, who bombed a Cybertruck in Las Vegas, both seeking purpose through violence.
