“What we have seen in New Zealand is the barbarism of identity politics. The identitarian worldview has divided communities and racialised everyday life. It has nurtured catastrophic communal tensions and they’re now turning violent”, says Brendan O’Neill

And there was I blaming the c*nt with the gun.
Hoorde net op Radio1 hoe de hoofdredacteur van BNR Sjors Fröhlich @SjorsFbnr een poging deed @wierdduk in verband te brengen met de massaslachting in Christchurch; daarmee bood hij een inkijkje in de agenda van BNR. Weerzinwekkende framing.
Discussing intolerant aspects of Islam or engaging in legitimate debate about mass migration doesn’t make anyone complicit in mass shootings.
Just as all Muslims are not to blame for Islamic terror attacks.
The fact I have to point this out every time is fucking depressing.
@staticchar @tomotamvotir @pewdiepie It shouldn't have to be said but I was ridiculing your position on the efficacy of turning people into nazis "by using jokes and memes as cover"
@staticchar @tomotamvotir @pewdiepie Ware the power of the joke, for it will turn the whole internet into ze nazi! (dun dun dun)
And of course everything one receives in jest is then interpreted as doctrine.
This line of reasoning is just so convoluted. That's not how jokes, or reality works.
Dus volgens dit heldere linkse licht waren de slachtoffers in Christchurch Marokkanen?
En dat niet alleen, blijkbaar heeft Wilders ook gezegd dat ze met automatische wapens moeten worden afgeschoten, volgens deze linkstrol.
Geen speld tussen te krijgen natuurlijk. Iedereen weet immers nog hoe ze recentelijk in Raqqa bergen videogames aantroffen. Hele toernooien hielden ze daar. En Breivik scheen een fan te zijn van Mario Kart.
@mihm_david @larsp2740 @realDonaldTrump Only because you can find the full clip on many sites... But I will indulge your laziness

Similar rationale, most likely, behind his trollish citation of Candace Owens. He knew referencing her (however sarcastically) would make this a bigger controversy in the US, hastening his stated goal of exacerbating political division in the US.
Saying "subscribe to PewDiePie" indicates an intent to game the online media ecosystem. He knew PewDiePie, the world's biggest YouTuber, would be forced to issue a condemnation -- thus making the attack even more "viral" and amplifying his views further. Calculated and sick.
The depraved maniac in New Zealand has already accomplished his stated goal of spreading his sick views, which are now being amplified across the world. Breivik (cited by the maniac as inspiration) had the same goal and also succeeded. The incentives operative here are so warped.
@mihm_david @treyj_miller @skinnytree63 @wingulls_r @CountDankulaTV Yes if you want to lump them in the neat left right dichotomy, you are correct, they would fall in the right.
You would also be placing them in the same group as the white ethno-nationalists, a group that is diametrically opposed to jihadis.
