Even if Nazis aren't numerous, they still have proven they can cause huge death rates.


As have communists and the US.

True. But I disagree that "These days, it also describes conservatives as a whole" as someone else said in this thread.

It would be a shame if progressives exploit a tragedy like this to use as propaganda.

Unless I missed it nobody has been charged as an accomplice. So for now there is no reason for me not to go on the assumption this was a “lone wolf” attack.

Innocents are often questioned and even arrested in the early stages of a mass attack investigation in part because of fear that potential accomplices might stage further attacks and just because such a high profile investigation is going to be hyper thorough.

Candace Owens Ripped for ‘LOL’ Reaction After New Zealand Massacre Suspect Named Her Biggest Influence
Quote:
Candace Owens, right-wing commentator and Kanye West influencer, was on the defensive Thursday evening after the suspect in the mass killing of 49 people at two New Zealand mosques publicly named her as his biggest influence in a lengthy manifesto.

In several tweets — issued as bodies were still being counted — Owens jeered at critics whom she said were attempting to pin responsibility for the massacre on her.

“LOL! ???? FACT: I’ve never created any content espousing my views on the 2nd Amendment or Islam,” Owens said in response to one now deleted tweet. “The Left pretending I inspired a mosque massacre in…New Zealand because I believe black America can do it without government hand outs is the reachiest reach of all reaches!! LOL!”

HAHA OMG you racist Leftists are taking your racism and crazy to a whole new level hahah. Black people don’t have to be Democrats” now means…mosque shootings in New Zealand?” she continued. “This clearly won’t stick but damn if I won’t grow #BLEXIT highlighting your sheer desperation. ????????”

In an online manifesto, Tarrant wrote, “The person who has influenced me above all was Candace Owens” — but Gawker co-founder Elizabeth Spiers noted many “sarcastic” passages in the document and suggested that Owens’ mention may have been “trolling.”

Others took exception to her tweeted assertion that she had “never created any content espousing my views on the 2nd Amendment or Islam” and resurfaced past comments that suggested otherwise.

“Please remind [London mayor] @SadiqKhan that according to the birth rate, Europe will fall and become a Muslim majority continent by 2050,” Owens said in one tweet. “There has never been a muslim majority country where sharia law was not implemented. When we’re forced to save you guys (again) we’ll forgive the balloon.

Owens has had a meteoric career after being singled out for praise by singer Kanye West.

In regular speaking engagements and rallies she has championed the “Blexit” movement aimed at winning over black voters to the Republican Party. She received a rapturous reception at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Committee and was praised by President Trump himself.

Having now read the entire manifesto, I believe Owens is correct to laugh loudly at those accusing her.

I think the vast majority of the manifesto is him being dead serious and truthful, but there is a small dose of trolling, and this is one part, as follows:

Quote:
Is there a particular person that radicalized you the most? Yes, the person that has influenced me above all was Candace Owens. Each time she spoke I was stunned by her insights and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief of violence over meekness. Though I will have to disavow some of her beliefs, the extreme actions she calls for are too much, even for my tastes.


He details his real reasons for radicalisation elsewhere. In fact, following his logic, I think Owens might well be a pretty high value target for elimination, since he wants ALL non-whites eliminated unless they are within his designated zone, outside of white countries, and she is trying to help black Americans, the last thing he wants is the black family unit being strengthened and more black children being produced.

Captcha is stopping me from fixing that mess above, so I'll just go with this:

Obviously, most conservatives are not racists.

We're not talking about my country, but about a racist lunatic who gunned down a bunch of people because of their religion and the color of their skin.

Interesting this group and others are "active on university campuses across America"

A lot of terrorism being swept under the carpet

The US has killed more Muslims than anyone or anything over the last 30 years. It's the liberal media that need to be stopped.

How do we achieve an independent media?

The Guardian and Huffington post purport to be independent
