Opel I’m not and have not been pissed off and don’t find you disrespectful. I just wanted to know more about your thoughts. They didn’t connect with me. I appreciate the time and different thought process.

Been thinking about izon and his need to self identify. This may not go well with some in here. I think that’s a bunch of crap but I also think you need to have a wiener to be a man and vag to be a chick. I think people can be whatever they want and we shouldn’t discriminate but I don’t have to pretend the sky is yellow and the sun is blue to accommodate them.

“Actually the Hispanic community was not my target before I read The Great Replacement.”

Wikipedia lists this novel as a “white nationalist right-wing conspiracy theory.” It’s interesting this novel would affect him so deeply that he would change his original target. I wonder who that was?

not long ago we were treated to "The Jews will not replace us"

it's a mistake to consider any string of words from this POS as legitimate criticism of this country.
His conclusion on course of action is the way to define him.

edit:
not responding to you Phil. Just picking up on the theme you brought up.

I don't think anyone is suggesting you consider his criticisms legitimate... But to dismiss them without rebuttal is to chase them back into the shadows...

You might know why that book is full of bad ideas and you might know why those ideas are bad... But lots of people don't and a refusal to discuss it because it's white nationalist propaganda and white nationalist are bad - end of discussion, is exactly why those bad ideas end up on 8ch...

Each one of these guys is a special little snowflake...
To paraphrase Tolstoy and happy families, each of these mass murderers is crazy in his own way.

If we figure out that this one is unhappy about the environment and figures focusing on shooting immigrants is going to fix that, it doesn't help us prevent the next shooting. Because the next shooter will be unhappy about plummeting sales of tiki torches and think shooting Jews will fix that. And the one after will be unhappy about lack of coal jobs and think shooting the gays will fix that.

The commonality is very simple... They want to take their rage out on some group if "others". The details that make up their rage is irrelevant, because the next shooter (and there will be a lot of next shooters) will have different details.

No worries, Frank. He’s clearly very disturbed. I do think it’s important to try and understand why in order to prevent future attacks. If that is even a possibility. And this applies to all heinous acts.

The more I look at this the more I’m convinced if it walks and talks like a white nationalist it just might be a white nationalist. I’d be more interested in separating myself from anyone parroting or supporting white nationalists than trying to separate this but bag from the white nationalists.

I’m going to go on a limb here. I think the white nationalists and their movement are sort of bad and I want nothing to do with them. Anywhere I overlap with their ideas is an area I probably need to re-examine. If some of my language mirrors theirs I may want to take a look at that too.

But we all have our own comfort levels.
