From what’s been seen I think it’s safe to say the memeing isn’t trying to be funny, but trying to associate and relate memes to what he’s doing. Him and his ilk are actively trying to corrupt meme culture to be a sort of propaganda, and since memes are so ridiculous and more often harmless fun, they can make people that notice this look like nutbars. His choice of the ok hand seems deliberate. The journalists had already put out a narrative falsely claiming it as a nazi symbol, he’s fueling that to make them look like chumps to the public when they double down and try to get the 👌 emoji removed or something stupid. they want to make a fool of people against them by stirring something from nothing
http://skepchick.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/HcuZIT5w8xJLMXoISDexG1GNz5Dj7xHO_QGeueMtdPU.jpg Sorry if this is considered an image macro. I'll edit it out if so. This basically this sums up my thoughts on how I feel about letting the alt-right have their own little bubbles to spew their rhetoric. Acceptance of these ideas has led to a phenomenally staggering increase in authoritarianism all over our world. Far-right extremism is on the rise as a mainstream idea and it cannot be allowed. There is no objectively moral standing to be had with xenophobia, white supremacy, nationalism, and unironic calls for genocide. This is a cancer seeking seeking to undo our democracies, and will fight to remove free will from innocent people. As long as there are places like /pol/ and /r/the_donald to spread this hate, mass shootings and domestic terrorism will continue to spread.
The thing about that is calls for violence are not covered by the US Constitution's interpretation of Freedom of Speech. Hate speech is tolerated but only just, but so-called "fighting words" are prohibited and you can be arrested for inciting violence / inciting a riot. Neo-Nazi rallies get away with it because they know the boundary and stop just short of it every time.
Fascists have purposefully made their jargon incomprehensible to the average person. This is intentional, the layers of irony culture they indulge in benefits their detachment and allows for easier radicalization.
I think he did, if you watch it again you can see people running out the back of the frame. It's purposeful, and in this instance incredibly obvious. They ban a bunch of subreddits that have no underlying political motivations to keep up apperances, but not one of the alt-rights/far-rights best recruiting hubs. I don't think it's a honeypot at this point. I genuinely think the Reddit admins either personally defend t_d, or are keeping it around purely for the financial aspect. There is no other possible reason for why that subreddit still exists when so many others that have done far less have been shuttered.

I'm guessing the cops might just be tall but jfc of course he looks like a manlet. I was curious why ABC News blurred out his torso too, definitely a good call.
Reading the thread on it, r/watchpeopledie made the news in a Reuters article and was shut down, despite the moderators taking down videos of the shooting, telling people not to post them, and banning the manifesto.
Pewdiepiesubmissions being banned is so fucking stupid
it was set to private, there's another sub with a similar name (Pewdiepie_submissions) that got banned though. Probably a good call to set it to private for now.
I would make a quip about how the Reddit admins have no problem with inciting violence, just watching it, but then I remember what watchpeople die had literal ISIS propaganda posted on it for years before they were banned for being inconvenient. The Reddit admins are hypocritical cowards and I don't think it's too far out there to assume that they are banning such a wide variety of subs to protect t_d.

Got to remember Reddit is a corporation. They only care about money and will only remove a subreddit that brings in revenue when keeping it up costs them more than it brings in.
Yeah thats what I was getting at with the last part about protecting t_d. They can make it look like they were trying really hard to scrub their platform clean without actually taking care of the communities that share and spread the ideologies that drove this tragedy, past tragedies, and almost inevitably future tragedies. All because it makes them more money than they stand to lose by cutting it.
lock him up and keep him locked up for life
You shouldn't post this. You're only giving him what he wants
Keep him in solitary so he can't spread his ideologies to other people entering/leaving the system. Remember, prison is a breeding ground for the Aryan Brotherhood and similar groups.
I don't think he has "ideologies". The manifesto was 1 big shitpost, and he has proven that he is just some edgy "memer" from /pol/ who wants fame. As I said in one of my previous posts, I wouldn't be surprised if in prison he got rolled on by a bunch of people and became their bitch to be honest (Best case scenario for him). Worst case for him he gets killed by some islam extremist in the same prison as him, which I'd say is pretty likely since he will be going supermax if he is fully charged with every single murder he committed (which again is incredibly likely).

And yet they let the Senator not even get taken for questioning for assaulting what appears to be a minor? nice.
Eat fucking shit Fraiser.
I like the guy in the replies who points out that he turns around, pauses, and makes sure it's somebody who looks smaller than him before taking a swing.
I'm sure security forces keep it as a educational tool, much like how EMTs have videos of people dying to show how to respond to it. However, what's the point of showing or allowing to the general public? If a gunman comes walking in, you ain't going to suddenly remember how to deal with the situation anymore than what the government shows you, 'run, hide, tell' Unless you're a guy who's trained in the police or security and you're off duty. Syria war footage is obviously different, its war. Military and political analysts have a use for those, but this is only going to be useful for counter terror officers, not your typical civilian.
That kid was punched in the face twice by Fraser and kept on the ground by like, 5-6 people. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/03/16/05/11064488-6816145-image-a-29_1552714450856.jpg https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1106801008661815296.html At Anning's rally today in Melbourne a supporter of his noted the Christchurch shooter was a 28-year-old and one of the "younger generation taking up the fight". Anning responded by saying the shooter was "a little on the crazy side, but yeah." Anning railed against what he said are the three biggest threats to Australia: "Black African immigration ... Muslim immigration ... and Chinese buying our land". Neil Erikson and Blair Cotrell were in the crowd with Andrew Nolch, who defaced the Eurydice Dixon memorial Anning said he was weeks away from registering his own political party. "Where we're wining is on social media ... share as much as you can ... we can win seats on social media." After the 17-year-old boy who egged Anning was violently gang-tackled to the ground by 5-6 men including Neil Erikson, @10NewsFirstMelb reporter and I asked the men to stop digging their knees and elbows into the boy and let him up after he was clearly restrained I was then physically removed by Anning's supporters and accused of being a "filthy f***** journalist" by Neil Erikson. Several Anning supporters followed me out and held phones to my face demanding I tell them my name
look at the big tough master race needing 5 people to choke and restrain a kid with an egg
He walked into a room alone surrounded by a bunch of neo-nazi fuckhead's all stronger and more built then them and exposed them for what they are. the pair on this dude
Wouldn't be surprised if they'd gotten to curb-stomping him if there weren't witnesses.
Not sure if it's just me but 8chan has been down for some time now
It's just you, I can go on it fine. I hope something fucking happens to it, or at least /pol/. Absolutely sickening drivel.
