Why the Christchurch mosque attacker is a product of ignorance. (Quick writedown of some thoughts reading his manifesto)

in #news5 years ago

As most of you have heard by now, an awful attack on Muslims happened in Christchurch on the 15th of March 2019.
One or more shooters killed dozens of people and wounded many more attending Friday prayers. Before the massacre, the attacker uploaded a manifesto online (full of spelling and grammar mistakes). The attacker also livestreamed the attack on Facebook and can now be found on Liveleak.

This is obviously a Terrorist Attack (strange that alls news outlets name it a "mass shooting") as this was very politically motivated (see manifest).
In this manifest he also proves not only to be mentally unstable, but also very contradictory and hypocrite.

It's all about "saving the white race" in Western Nations and "invaders" threatening it. But he is from Australia and the attack he carried out was in New Zealand, both nations that were invaded by "white people" and it's indigenous slowly replaced by white people.
According to his own Manifest and logic, he should have shot every single white Australian, Kiwi and South African ...

He also takes Breivik as his big inspiration and admires him (and even says Breivik approved the attack), but Breivik is very anti-communist and the attacker in NZ was a communist and links his views with China (see manifest).

He also says that he wants to polarise Western countries more (Left vs Right) and hopes for retaliatory attacks by Islamic extremists. This is literally the exact same strategy that ISIS & Al Qaida use. All they want is more bloodshed & more waste of life.

This guy literally opens his manifesto with the fact that he earned money through Bitconnect (a whacky pyramid scheme in the crypto world where 99% of the people lost all their invested money). He probably lost all his money too and you can see that he's not over it yet as he is lying and boasting about it.

He is a loser, that was desperate to do something "meaningful" in life and took, just like many Jihadists, the wrong path to do so.

My thoughts are with all the people affected in this tragedy and all the family and friends of the victims.
