yeah but that doesn't make him a right wing extremist. That makes him a right winger, and an extremist.
You can be political extreme, and politically moderate, you can politically extreme, and socially moderate. He was politically moderate, and socially extreme.
Are you really being so fucking pedantic that you distinguish between right wing;extremist and ring wing,extremist? If so, look in the mirror and reevaluate your blind biases.
it's not pedantic? This is like complaining about me mentioning that authoritarianism isn't actually explicitly for right wing ideologies, left wing ideologies can exhibit authoritarianism, and actually authoritarianism itself is entirely agnostic to the concept of "political alignment" it's just a style of governance.
Being a political extremist implies that you are either right wing extreme, left wing extreme, (or i guess an extremist centrist?) The purposes of your extremism are to further your political ambitions.
Being a social extremist just means you do things that extreme because you personally believe they will have some effect of impact, and of which, you don't really care.
if crookes were a political extremist, he would've had an online presence, he would've had some sort of manifesto, he would've said something and actually planned this out properly. He did none of these things, happened to get lucky, and then get unlucky. He literally didn't care who he killed, or what for, or probably even if he killed them at all.
like don't get me mistaken, if this kid was a groyper or some shit, i would be inclined to agree with you, but as far as i know, he isn't and wasn't.
