@CreekCo I know I'm necrobumping/mentioning, but which red states would you say *are* good examples? (of this type of incident not happening) And why isn't Texas?

@Ruvan22 Other than random image threads, its best I avoid this board. Im welcomed other places but not here. Yeah I didnt word things maybe so great earlier but Im kinda sick of getting modded on here all the time for really mild takes just because they are a little different. No body really seemed to care or speak up for me either so I guess thats just how it is. Who wants to be somewhere they arent welcome? I was going somewhere with that statement but it just doesnt seem important anymore.

Okay, your call.. I was genuinely curious about your metrics/rationale. I read through the rest of the thread but couldn't find any more data or details being put forward, though I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "speak up for you"...

Youre right, we would all absolutely love it if you left.

You can go ahead and do that at any time.

Did you see how I got treated? Youre never going to. Nobody rational wants to be treated in such a manner and its like the third time or so this year thats happened. Im only responding because I did legit feel like you were actually listening and wanted an honest dialogue because its an interesting topic. Right time wrong place :(

Twitch, Twitter, Discord and Facebook are all under increasing scrutiny for their part is this terrible event. I'm hoping for real change, it's time to shut down at least 1-2 of these vile social media sites.
Yes I am sure many would say this happened in USA so it doesn't affect me, but last time it was New Zealand.
The next mass killer could be live streaming his murders on Twitch and Discord in any country. The world needs a united front against these sites. IMO, Twitch and Discord need to go asap.

Haven't we as a society been pitching a shit fit for several years over how having rules on the Internet is authoritarian censorship?

Reality is nothing I say will be seen as right.

So, ahhh, it looks like this didn't go so well for this guy.

Jesus, dude's mug shot looks like he got the hell beat out of him. How dumb you gotta be to make violent threats in a grocery store chain that just got shot up a couple days before

A white guy in Harlem was jabbing black people with syringes at a memorial for the shooting victims. Police surrounded and protected him from getting his ass whooped.

A clear-cut example of how right wing propaganda works to take frustration with systemic problems and direct it towards minority groups instead.

Antifar, noted supporter of neo nazis.

whose only goal is to distract from the issue of right-wing propaganda

A clear-cut example of how right wing propaganda works to take frustration with systemic problems and direct it towards minority groups instead.

You're really, really struggling. Maybe you should take a second to back off and actually read through that twitter thread and try to understand it.

The point is: "right wing propaganda would be nbd because it wouldn't take hold if we had support systems, such as accessible health care"

I'm not seeing in the thread where it says that neo nazis radicalizing people is no big deal. You know, since it talks about how white supremacists radicalized him, and how people are dead because of it.

I don't think that you're understanding anything that's happening here. You're really having a tough time with this. It really seems like you just want to get really angry at antifar and accuse him of thinking that alt right propaganda isn't an issue at all. Which is an extremely silly and stupid thing to say.

Like "post #1, you should disregard the manifesto which he talked about his motivations and all of his propaganda source."

I would appreciate you not putting words in my mouth. Sorry if you wanted to have an argument, but on this issue we agree. I did not and would not downplay the role of right wing garbage propaganda; I cited that thread because it struck me as an illustrative example of how it operates in practice.

Like, he doesn't say this at all. He says that we can also look at what was effectively his journal to see how he got to this point. You're angry about someone saying that we can look at the shooters other writings to understand his mindset and motivations.

You're getting mad about a very simple and sensible statement and making shit up about what people are saying instead.
