Bloke is clearly thick as pigsh*t and because others have tried to better themselves and have bettered him he can't understand it.

A little bit of knowledge being fed to him through social media and dog whistling politicians and worse is a dangerous things, it reinforces his views that he is being punished for being white and that Muslims are taking his land, his opportunities.

It's such arrogance, New Zealand was a colony. He's Australian which was colonised and taken from the people whose land it actually was. The talk of Europe, he's probably never been there.

Hate is stoked, amongst people to thick to know they are being played and this is the result.


Reading the stuff about him he's a hardcore neo-Nazi. But nowadays if you cross over into the alt-right fantasy world of invented news and facts, what's stopping you moving into this territory?

If this was religious fundamentalism, we'd be talking about dangerous undercurrents in the mainstream community that are leading to radicalization and terrorism.

In answer to your question the roots would be way further back than that.
As I said I agree with the broad sentiment he expresses, cause and effect but the answer requires somehow breaking the cycle in the present rather than spiralling back through history imho.
What do you regard as the start point of "the present hate cycle?" My presumption was that he was meaning Islamic fundamentalist terror leading to right wing nationalist terror but don't know if that would be accurate.......anyway at the moment this is of no great consequence and I was/am not looking for a row!


I blame Winston Churchill - "I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."


The roots go back centuries don't they? Presumably the slave trade wouldn't have taken off if whites didn't see themselves as superior to blacks? I wouldn't say that's especially relevant to today, other than the perpetuation of the myth that whites are in someway intellectually or morally superior. That goes back to the 1700s.

I don't know what the starting point of the present rise in the right was. The arguments and thee people have always been there, but the reasons for extra support must be complex - aligned with a recession & slow recovery when people are struggling, ease at which far right groups can spread their message via social media, leading to an increase in far right politicians thereby adding some legitimacy in some people's minds and reinforcing the cycle.

It's a serious threat though. Divide and conquer seems to be the order of the day.

I was thinking about this in my reply to BDS - I couldn't thik how to articulate it without it becoming politicised (and therefore easily ignored/dismissed by people who do live in this alt-right fantasy world). Agree entirely, it's a spectrum. And whilst obviously very few mainstream alt-right fantasists are going to become shooters/bombers, it's certainly unlocks that door.

I'm still struggling to articulate it in a way that won't be dismissed. But maybe I don't need to, as I think this person has described the point perfectly himself: I've just looked again at the reports and see he's claiming that the person who inspired him the most was Candace Owens, the conservative, Trump-supporting political commentator in the states. That demonstrated the point perfectly imo.

I have not had a kebab in over two years but the last one was in New Zealand, and having had a fruitless search for a poppy with Remembrance Sunday coming up I was touched that the place had that Kemal Ataturk quote on the wall:

'The heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives on this country's soil! You are in the soil of a friendly country now. Therefore rest in peace. You are side by side with the little Mehmets. The mothers who send their sons to the war! Wipe your tears away. Your sons are in our bosom, are in peace and will be sleeping in peace comfortably. From now on, they have became our sons since they have lost their lives on this land.'

Yep - probably in bad taste but just following on how this won't be prescribed as terrorism and then taking the US approach to a mass shooting of more guns for everyone


Every news outlet calling it terrorism. The NZ PM calling it terrorism.

I wish people would stop mindlessly repeating this 'it won't be terrorism' myth every time something like this happens. It is always called terrorism if you bother to look.

Poverty, perceived lack of prospects and being told it's someone else's fault. Unfortunately, none of them particularly easy to deal with (tho erasing government corruption and graft worldwide would go some way to helping with the first two).


Weren't those amongst the things that Adolf whipped his crowds up with? (I know Germany's economic situation was probably primary back then tho).

Absolutely dreadful massacre. I have friends who emigrated to Christchurch a decade or so ago, brings it home all the more.

Indeed. And it's important to point out that she's one of the Turning Point lot which has recently been launched in the UK — and endorsed by a worrying number of our mainstream politicians.

They're slicker and more respectable than the EDL/Britain First/Tommy Robinson lot but that's why they're even more dangerous.

He's filmed the attack from a POV video, I've just been sent it. Didn't watch it once he went in the Mosque but he calmly pulls up to it, lets people cross the road in front of him then just walks round to the boot and grabs an extra gun.

It's sickeningly casual, so terrible.

The reaction from that Candace Owens has been disgraceful. I didn't really know much about her to be honest, but she seems to be up there with the worst of them.

Point of order to myself about Candace Owens - this in an interesting read about how by name dropping her he could be looking to play on the right/left divisions that already exist.

I don't know who the author is, but seems thoughtful and unbiased.

The problem is that the rise of the far right has, once again, largely been ignored or downplayed. Too often far right hate speech is conflated with 'legitimate concerns' about immigration and Islamic fundamentalism. There are mainstream politicians who occasionally peddle rhetoric that panders to the far right. On the rare occasions I glance at the Mail or the Express it is clear their sole aim is to stoke white, right wing anger at whichever 'other' group is fashionable at the time. No lessons ever seem to get learnt.


I'd go further and say that the main right-wing parties in a few countries (certainly Australia, the UK and the US) have been actively courting the vote of these morons for the past decade or so, as they've realised they can't win elections without them.

Unfortunately this has empowered them to come out the woodwork and made them believe their views are acceptable, not something to keep to themselves.

The answer is for these parties to stop pandering to the morons, but unfortunately I suspect they're unlikely to do so, as it will probably lead to them losing power.
