Brenton Tarrant posts on 8chan, shoots up Mosque killing 49 muslims in New Zealand, livestreams from GoPro

Yes that’s true but problem is, this isn’t done mandatory by law enforcement and prisons. If it was, murders would happen less often. There is a reason almost every single murderer the USA fights against the death penalty and offers deals like showing body locations in exchange of the death penalty being dropped......... it’s because they are afraid to die. Obviously if death was the automatic sentence we have them, and they knew it, they would think twice about killing someone and especially if we executed painfully. Eastern countries punishments are more extreme yes, I mean look at women. Wing slaves and obeying stupid traditions in wearing certain apparael and stuff not to be killed.... all of them do it but a few and if you take those laws away then all women would dress however they want and more would do it than very little. They know they will be faced with death for not wearing their sacred head piece or cheating on husband etc.... so 99% obey. Now my opinion is that it’s stupid and they treat women like slaves and they should have the freedom to dress however but I’m just using this as a comparison and analogy of sorts to show you a extreme mandatory punishment makes those who think about breaking a law to behave. Life in prison isn’t extreme as getting executed is. It’s sinple as that and I stand by the fact if we killed murderers we know who are guilty 100% without doubt, crime would drop and people would obey

You're wrong. I don't know how else to say it. You know Timothy McVeigh? He intentionally waved his appeals to fast track his execution. Real sociopaths or ideologues don't give a shit.

Violent repression does not work like you are implying it does.

I didn't watch the video, but... he built a wall and staircase out of thin air? That's fucking amazing.

First he built a car, road, and mosque in Minecraft. Vidya gaimz is the debbils playground!

Dumb journalists. He was obviously reenacting "No Russian."

Reddit is such a contemptable place.

The political and media ecosystem is incredibly fragile and easily manipulated. By ascribing his crimes to a wide smattering of ideological influences (even if done obviously sarcastically) allowed all political tribes to have their own "silver bullet" to attack their opponents with. He even states as much in his manifesto, and the very act of revealing this fact in black in white is in itself meant to anger and frustrate.

More recently there's also Scott Dozier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Dozier
Dude waived his appeals, actually ASKED to be executed, a 2 year legal battle between the state and pharmaceutical companies ensued over the execution drugs, he ended up killing himself in his cell 2 months ago. There's a Vice piece on this complete absurdity of a case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg3t22l0ByM

"Another video game, Spyro The Dragon 3, which is played by children, was also mentioned, which he claimed "taught him ethno-nationalism"

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

Some have noted similarities between the game and the footage of the massacre.

Don’t see the problem here. Some people DO use video games like Crusader Kings to act out their white supremacist fantasies. Doesn’t mean the games themselves are bad (they’re not), doesn’t mean the entire gaming community is bad (they’re not), but let’s not pretend the assholes don’t exist. Regular gamers are right to denounce them and try to distance themselves from people who wish Nazi Germany won WWII and take “remove Kebab” seriously.

Well it also means the next time there is another "remove symbols of white supremacy/racism" event like those confederate statues, you'll be able to attack the protesters without remorse, because they aren't human now, they are nazis, monsters like that Christchurch shooter. You could even kill them, and feel nothing but a job well done.

See this is why I don't talk to people anymore.



The media has already moved on from that, now it's time for the purge of the islamophobes to begin. Apparently no one read the manifesto. Or they did, and they were like, I'm already on the side that wins out of this shrug

You do realize Crusader Kings covers a multitude of ethnic groups with different cultures and religions? Set in history? If you told a Saxon he was a Viking he'd probably run you through.

They've already been denounced and distanced as much as possible, to a point that is comical in a "free" society. What we need now is open and honest dialogue, one that includes the "nazis"

Personally, I believe no one should have to denounce anything. Most normal people aren't agreeing with extremist, all denouncing people is, is a power grasp of the media and other idiots for every little thing. Just imagine if every time some stranger didn't know a white person forced the white person to have to denounce the ideology of Hitler, Stalin, and more, it'd be pretty stupid right? Same thing applies to the gaming community, because by their logic if you don't go out of your way to denounce then you abide by such beliefs/concepts which is fallacious at best.

If I play a game, and somehow Hitler also played that game, I'm not denouncing squat, I never declared I agreed with him in the first place. I can refuse to assoicate with said kind of person, but nobody should be forced to have to denounce something because those kind of people are trying to imply there's a hint of guilt if you don't. There isn't.

how would you even do it? i think Cosmos has not played it.

 

[Haunted Dishwasher]

It feels with Mossad and the mosque radicalization news from couple years ago that it's either that stars aligned themselves upon such insane coincidence or the shooter is truly playing 4D chess.

One thing is for sure: Everybody is confused as fuck, or least the MSM. They can't stop flinging shit and back, and with statement from his family that he spent his youth playing video games I feel like Aussie censorship on games might spill to other countries than just Germany if that gets any traction...

Of course I understand that. That doesn’t mean that some white supremacists don’t use the game to reenact their fucked up fantasties. That doesn’t mean the game itself is bad, it’s just a game. But it’s silly to pretend like extremists don’t exist. I think it’s pretty telling that the community on Reddit has a lot of experiences with them.

Again, I don’t see the point in making fun of people who are trying to distance themselves from the extremists whose ideology just resulted in the murder of 49 people. No, they don’t HAVE to distance themselves, but it’s probably best that they are.

This is why the people going along with the shooter's plan are themselves absolute garbage.
