I'm sorry you don't understand my point so let me expand:

- He is definitely a white supremacist, in the sense he adheres to hateful texts and probably calls/called himself that along with some other friends.

- Simply, white supremacism (or black supremacim, chinese, muslim or jewish supremacim) are in most case not real political movements but minorities of angry people with (similar) mental illness who act on their mental illness with the random tribe they feel they belong. (cf this testimony https://www.mmaindia.com/sean-strickland-opens-up-about-his-...)

- If you however are a functional member of the society, insisting on calling random shooters by their random political affiliation instead or their mental illness which is the primary factor is, if technically right, missing the point of the fact that weapons should not be given to mad people in general, and has also a tendency to stew political tensions.

- This is not a defense of white supremacism or shooters. Im french said the same when there was "islamic attacks" and people were weaponizing the fact they were mulslim for political purpose when in reality is was a bunch of angry 19 y.o. fanatazised by angry 60 y.o. imams with similar kinds mental illnesses.

Is that more clear ?




Not really. It's the results that matter not what twisted path someone took to arrive at that position.


Thats exactly my point.


You're arguing with another white supremacist, btw... they all do this weird whataboutism all the time


You would wish the world is that simple would you ?
