And yet in those cases, you are the first to argue the ideology is to blame...

Ideology is different from recognising a demonstrable factual reality.

I don’t agree it’s a demonstrable factual reality, but that’s been done to death, so let’s agree to disagree there.

Everyone believes their ideology is the true one.

As for what is likely to have angered this guy....Your opinions on what is important to him are far more likely to anger him far more than mine.

If this guy listened to me, he certainly wouldn't be murdering anyone that's for sure.

Someone should've been looking at this NZ guy's public online activity earlier, thats's for sure.


Thanks for your comments anyway. For anyone interested, again, my actual comment and views are below.


Original Message

A sickening act.


I'm pleased I've criticised both religious extremism and racial resistance groups on here. It's all too easy online to plug into these fringe movements or to go down an us vs them road to radicalisation. This guy announced what he was going to do before posting his muddled and cliched 'white genecide' ethno state manifesto on a chan site, live streaming his heinous acts to anyone interested. It's important to see the dignity in all, not get warped ideas about who does and doesn't truly belong in their own country. The regular focus on genetic themed racial stuff that is suddenly ever present on here for instance is alienating, unhelpful and a rung on the ladder this leads nowhere pleasant.

Hrolf makes a good point about how violence begets violence. Previous attacks add weight to the likelihood of attacks like this, and this in turn will no doubt tip some religious radical over the edge. I've never been for mass immigration, making a country only about benefiting elites through cheap labour. It does have an impact on stability of a country and can cause friction within communities. Religion can complicate and result in insular communities that hold age old beliefs detached from that of the country. Possibly Brexit will put the breaks on things if it actually ever happens. Even if it does though, it's important to remember that at that point the country is what it is. People still have to learn to get along in peace and to try to find commonality rather than differences no matter how hard or futile that may sometimes appear. We see here what the alternative to doing that is.

That’s your truth; I can’t be bothered to recycle a debate that’s been had 100 times, but everyone believes their view to be the truth, hence why they believe it.

It wasn't much of a debate because the statistics are pretty clear. Mostly the left/neo liberals just don't bother or cry 'racist'.

Originally posted by EverybodyDannsNow

I’m not suggesting anything of the sort; just pointing out the hypocrisy of you saying the media are lying to put blame on the right, when you readily lay blame to the left.

Let’s be clear; I’ve never suggested closing down anything, just highlighted an inconsistency.

That's fair enough.

I do blame the left and the neo liberals (note, it isn't only the left by any means) for the creation of this problem.

Is that somehow incorrect, was our immigration policy not designed by them?

So it's hardly hypocrisy if I'm correct.

You can say I'm wrong, and I'd like to hear the argument....but a hypocrite? Na.

I think we must not confuse good people who exhibit 'Christian' attitudes by helping other people and those promoting scientific ignorance, ridiculous fairy stories and the worship of invisible beings.

These things are separate.

I was really just talking about the difference between actually going out of your way to help people and virtue signalling. I think Christianity actually encourages or even expects people to get off their arse and do something for the community.

No, it’s not incorrect, or at least not demonstrably so; I am of same opinion that the left/neo-liberals are a contributing factor, just as I believe the right are a contributing factor to this incident.

Those two positions aren’t mutually exclusive, so just because you are correct on one, it doesn’t by definition make you correct on the other, hence why I consider it hypocrisy.

If you want to consider it hypocrisy, even though I don't think that stands up....cool.

So with the next Islamic attack are you going to head off to an Islamic website and tell them the same thing?

I don’t frequent Islamic websites. I find myself on this one because I’m a palace fan. In recent months it’s been obvious there are a minority of right-wing tommy Robinson loving morons who post under ‘news and politics’ who today posted ‘remorse’ for those innocent people, yet buy-in to that Luton rent-a-gob who uses language like ‘Islamic invasion’ when spouting his rubbish. All you who metaphorically suck him off inadvertently condone today’s hideous crime.

But,..let’s be frank here. Behind your disingenuous sympathy you don’t really give a sh*t. Muslim blood to you is less valuable to English blood. It’s just today you’ve realised that wa*kstain of humanity in Christchurch has similar views to your own. Maybe you go on the same websites. Who knows. But right-wing extremism is as bad as Islamic extremism. All as bad as each other, including tommy Robinson and his supporters.

My sympathy isn't disingenuous. What this guy did was inhuman and monstrous and that's how I feel about it.

I presume you're English, but believe me I certainly have more respect for Muslims than I have for people like you......So you don't really know what you're talking about.
