Remove "not all Christians" and I agree.

Piss taking hypocrites of the highest order.

I found his manifesto

I’m not going to link to it because it appears the people who suffered the most from this attack don’t want it to be shared

It’s definitely a message in support of white supremacy

Also, the American Sunday morning news talk shows called it white supremacy (or white nationalism) but it was also said even by leftists that white supremacist sponsored terrorism, while actually more common in the US, is far less common world wide.

I guess we just have to decide for ourselves what is and what isn’t racist terrorism.

For example, I think it’s obvious that the Vietnam War was expression of white supremacy and what I’ll call white terrorism goes on and on from there.

Along with every Middle Eastern conflict. That's a fairly broad criteria though.

You are free to go find some global statistics that you think are a good counter-argument. Killings and bombings in the name of Allah, Mohammad, etc. easily exceed even the least conservative stats you could find related to killings in the name of "The Great Replacement" conspiracy theory.

I'm pretty sure the whites are notoriously unorganized about keeping track of how many non-whites died in the name of imperialism

Should we start counting from the first slave ships?

WWWP 03-19-2019 05:39 PM

I mean that's a reasonable option

I'm not really worried about whites flying planes into some Middle Eastern buildings. I am however worried about the trend of nativism in the West that has influence on governments with actual power.

Conflating Islamic terrorism with white supremacist terrorism is like conflating Iranian power with American power. Both should be watched but one clearly has a greater array of influence.

If you think that's bad wait til you see what Chinese or Hispanic supremacy will entail. Give it another five decades. :D
