welp, there goes any kind of worthwhile discussion about immigration or national identity. yet another alt-right retard decides it's a good idea to shoot some random people to save da wite race. so now we get to hear about this forever, just like the robert bowers thing. why can't these morons just kill themselves instead of insisting on being a spectacle and shooting people who have no control over any of this?
the discourse will be poisoned even further by incidents like this until it is impossible to have a reasonable discussion about whether or not these people should be in western countries. you will literally never hear the end of it. every mainstreeam news outlet will blame this on the 'culture of hate' fomented by donnie dumpf once again. if you criticize immigration, you are evil and probably planning a mass shooting. that will be the narrative now.
I dont understand why these faggots go after civilians and only make the issue worse.
Why not go after people of value if they are adamant on going down in flames?
that would be better, but it would still enable the threat narrative about people who are against immigration. the reality of the situation is that it doesn't matter how infrequent these events are, just one is enough to fuel a threat narrative for years and stigmatize any public expression of the base level sentiments this guy had. most people do not want masses of foreigners flooding into their countries, but you are now evil if you talk about that. it's all going right back where it was before trump, except worse because shit like this happened.
edit: i should add, i don't especially care for islam or for people who practice it, but these people have no control over the policies that brought them into NZ or any other western country. and given that our leaders give them every reason to come here and every advantage in doing so, you really cannot personally blame third-world immigrants for coming here. you would do the exact same in their position. the
policies and the leaders and activist groups who
promote the policies are the true problem. shit like this accomplishes nothing and just gives them more ways to poison the well.
