The amount of Muslim hate spread in the media is to blame for this. The rise of “alt right” commentators and how YouTube, google, twitter and Facebook promote them and their dog whistle conspiracy theories is responsible for this.
White supremacist terrorism has been the biggest cause of terrorism in the western world for quite a while now and will only get worse.
And before anyone questions that, here’s a breakdown of his manifesto:

49 now dead FFS.
It’s all been completely normalised by people like him, Ben Shipario, Jordan Peterson, Jacob Whol etc.
The last big terrorist attacks in the west have been against women, Jewish people, Muslim people and gay people.
If you aren’t a straight white man they hate you and they’re stirring up this feeling of empowerment and the media still ignores it and says every Muslim is a threat.
This tweet nails it.

Couldn’t Al Gore or some lefty megalomaniac put on a huge stadium event where all the nazis and religious fundamentalists are rounded up and have to battle it out to the death. That’s basically what they want. Could be sorted out super fast.
The guy praised memes and says he was radicalised online in his manifesto. At a time when UKIP are hiring tommy Robinson and alt-right “comedians” and Youtubers. The sun and boris Johnson normalise islamaphobia.
Yet people still say these people are “lone wolves”. The same people will believe and promote George Soros conspiracy theories and then act shocked when there’s a shooting at a Jewish temple.
It’s crazy so many people still ignore this.
Depending on where you are born, and if you are lucky enough to avoid major accidents and illness, a human can live on this wonderful planet for 100 yrs. Sadly, that’s not enough for some.
We have the intelligence and know how, to design and create the most wonderful things.
We have the ability to live in a world where every single person could have a peaceful and comfortable lifestyle. Yet we are also plagued with ignorance, greed and religion.
We, as humans, have everything we could possibly need, but that’s not enough for some.
Throughout history, the masses of peace loving, hard working people, have been handicapped, duped and short changed by a minority of people who peddle hatred, poverty and greed.
There is no answer or cure.
I think the problem is now the hatred and indoctrination is easier to spread than ever. Watch a video on YouTube and they suggest an alt right or outright Nazi propaganda video.
The algorithms for google and YouTube are more dangerous than we realise.
When a terrorist actually says "Remember, subscribe to Pewdiepie!" and listens to meme music as he kills 49 innocent people.
What a ****ing world we live in...
I agree with your first post and people like Trump, Boris Johnson, Daily Mail, The Sun etc are a disgrace and should take a large amount of responsibility regarding the rise of the far right, I do however disagree with your conclusion that Peterson and Shapiro are to blame.
I've listened to a lot of their debates and wholly agree with a lot of the things they say.
I do believe that the left are trying to reign in free speech and close debate. Everybody is offended by everything in this day and age and this also brings deep frustrations and open the door for more sinister thought processes to develop.
Absolute horrendous attack, last night and unfortunately the mainstream press will brush it under the carpet cos it was Muslims not mainly white people killed.
Ben Shapiro has actually said Israelites build things, Muslims blow them up. It’s all done under the guise of free speech and people are getting taken in by it.
It’s a genuine right wing method to preach stuff like this under a free speech argument. But if your free speech is making other people less free should that really be encouraged?
Jordon Peterson preaches nothing other than sexism under a guise of faux intellectualism. The guy isn’t even an impressive intellectual if you listen to him it’s all platitudes and buzz words that mean nothing.
Do people really think they aren’t allowed their free speech? Dont get taken in by it.
The Venn diagram of people who preach free speech but thought Abu hamza should have been locked up for his preaching is a perfect circle.
Some of Ben Shapiro’s “freeze peach” tweets
Quote:
Isrealites like to build things. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage
Quote:
Yes Islam is at war with the west
So these are defending free speech?Quote:
Above 800 million Muslims are radicalised that’s a majority
Let’s not forget that manifesto of the Canadian guy who shot up a mosque mentioned Shapiro in it.
So extremely sickening & sad. Christchurch is one of my favourite places in the world & we have considered emigration to there because of the wonderful welcome of the people and the nature of the city. It would be one of the last places on earth I would have thought this horror would take place.
Somehow the casual throw away jokey references make this even more horrific. If is like a horrible mix of nihilism and hate
The thread on 4chan (I think it was) is really depressing reading with people openly celebrating the attack and finding it hilarious.
How do they know they're right wing, plus the usual suspect blaming trump, ie lardy.
