Now that the faggotry has abated, I'll thrown in my take.
I think we've witnessed the first mass shooting based on complete and utter nihilism. You can call him evil, because that's what the goal was. You can't call him crazy, because he knew exactly what he was doing. I say this was a shooting of nihilism because there is no one real ideology here he's rooting for. He absolutely knew what he was about to do would call for more censorship, silence more speech and hurt the side the media thinks he's on far more than it ever would do anything. He gave the media exactly what it was craving, more meat for the meat grinder. He knew they'd push hard against the other side. He expected and predicted this outcome.
He's for nothing but more conflict, more death, more suppression for the sake of his own entertainment. You're looking at a pure sociopath at work. He had no other goals other than to hammer a wedge deeper between people, increase tribalism and radicalize both sides further to a breaking point. For him, this was taking too long so he expedited the process. He didn't off himself precisely because he wants to see the outcome of his work. He wants to see blood in the streets, he wants to read the papers. He wants the trial to be a pure shit show.
And that's exactly what he is going to get. He's going to use that trial to make this situation even worse. He's going to do anything he can to inflame conflict even more. This guy wasn't 'radicalized'. He was a born sociopath who got bored and felt he could basically push the world closer to the brink and knew exactly how to do it. Like I said, his choice of victims, his own race, his manifesto, everything was crafted to make this situation even worse. The fact he fucking succeeded is shocking to me (granted, the police taking 10 minutes to respond to a mass shooting didn't fucking help) but I guess this shit was inevitable. Some sociopath could see how to make things worse and do it. I guess it didn't happen in the states because you're more likely to get shot the fuck up by LEOs or armed citizens before you got this far. And even if you did survive, you'd be thrown in a deep, dark hole for the rest of your life so you couldn't see the results of your 'work'.
I don't believe for a second the shit he espouses regarding Muslims. They were on his hit-list for the reaction only. He doesn't care about any of this white nationalist shit, its all a fucking show. He wants to burn everything down and dance in the fucking ashes.
In terms of his motivation, its one of the more monstrous things I've witnessed. I can understand jihadists, ethnic killings and even genocidal purges. Humans are xenophobic by nature, in the past we didn't move more than 20 miles from our homes in our lifetimes, if that. Anyone from the outside was a potential threat, so we naturally form tribes. He's a member of no tribe, cares about nothing.
His motives are more akin to a serial killer than anything else. Murder for his own pleasure, and the pleasure of doing harm to other people. Like I said, a pure sociopath. Everything else is just window dressing, bait for pushing both sides to the breaking point. The problem is, we've all been tribalized. And the instinct to defend your tribe is strong. So that's going to get lost in this whole mess.
The fact is that he's a serial killer at heart. Murder for its own sake and to hurt as many people as possible. He gains pleasure for every bit of dissent he sows. The worst thing is, he's already won. He pretty much won before he started. He knew the climate insanely well and played it like a fiddle. You think we couldn't have logical debate before? Try now. He made himself the media's worst 'fears' and their biggest profit maker. This will be exploited for profit, milked and used as a political bludgeon. His intent was to weaponize this act for his own amusement and he did it. If he even had a modicum of care, he knew this wouldn't help anything or anyone. He fucking knew it. That's why I say he's more like a serial killer than anything else. The only thing we can do is spite him. Hold his trial in secret. Throw him in solitary for the rest of his life. Let him see none of the things that have come out of this. Let him go so mental he bashes his own skull in on the walls of his cell so he has something to do. But we all know this won't happen.
There's no real ideology behind this. That's the stage play, the big lie. This is serial mass murder for an individual's pleasure and to cause as much harm to other people as possible. He set his stage, now he gets to watch his show. And we're all the fucking puppets of this psychopath.
