I actually, unironically 100% endorse the idea of breaking apart the social media oligopoly, Facebook included. Or just nationalizing the shit out of it.

And also, it'd be nice to have one fewer platform where boomers can infest my life with racist minion memes.

minion memes need to nuked from orbit.

racist minion memes need to thrown into a black hole.

  • 49 people have confirmed to have been killed at two mosques in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. At least that number again have been injured.
  • Only one person is believed to have been responsible for the attacks, two others are still in custody.
  • One of the shooters has been confirmed as an Australian national.
  • One person has been charged with murder.


They got him shortly after he was driven off from the second mosque.


Shit, I forgot to mention the other two have been released.

I don't think anybody's said that. I think people were saying that it's not helpful to demonize an entire group of people as opposed to objectively discussing the shooter's background. I think people like yourself simply have a hard time distinguishing between breaking down the facts and labeling an entire group of people.

I can't profess to know your own personal beliefs, but from our own conversations you called for:

"undermining their ability to recruit and organize both online and offline. Take away their platforms and their echo chambers, refuse their leaders any opportunity to spread their ideas. Isolate their recruits and approach them individually"

in regards to white nationalists. I.E. shutting down public websites, censoring people and tracking down and finding people who browsed said sites.

I don't know what you believe we should do about proponents of radical islam, but if you haven't suggested similar measures be taken against its members, that does suggest a double standard.

I'd endorse the same for Islamic fundamentalism. Although both in the case of white supremacists and Islamic fundamentalists, I favor their respective communities taking it upon themselves to deal with it, rather than the government unilaterally spying and censoring as it sees fit.


I appreciate the even-handedness even if I disagree with the methods.

So how does "he appears to have been radicalised by the rhetoric espoused by individuals X, Y and Z" constitute "[demonising] an entire group of people"?

Referring to your post on page 102 where you're seemingly in support of the idea that the alt right radicalized the shooter despite no evidence having been provided evidence for that being the case.

Considering the phrase "alt right" does not appear in any post I made on page 102, I am not sure what post you are referring to here.

No this dog is a Hezbollah/Chinese supporting pawn he is no different than a member of the IRGC or their death squads across the region they do the same exact crimes and he even said he supports the Chinese who in turn support Iran.
