But he’s just being “sarcastic.”
That's just locker talk!
Silly goose, "rich" people are above the law
Am I the only one who's relieved that the guy made an "interstate threat," so that federal authorities were involved, instead of only Florida law enforcement?
I often find myself feeling that way.
a racially or ethnically motivated mass casualty event
How nice of a way to avoid saying "white supremacist terror attack".
propaganda regarding white supremacist and accelerationist ideology
For those like me who had to look up "accelerationist ideology" because the mountain of hate-filled right-wing "make it up as you go along" bullshit is too deep for me to keep up with anymore, here it is. From Wikipedia:
Accelerationism is a range of revolutionary and reactionary ideas in left-wing and right-wing ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, infrastructure sabotage and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems and create radical social transformations, otherwise referred to as "acceleration".
That's bad enough (speed up entropy until everything goes boom faster than expected) but apparently it's also really popular with the fascists as well.
I guess no one told these evolutionary wonders that historically, when you blow shit up, you do NOT get shiny new utopias, clean fields and places to start anew. You get huge mountains of waste no one is going to cart off for you, people even more exploited and needy than they ever were before, and the kind of "radical social transformation" no one ever wants for themselves.
Sounds like a philosophy created to suit the crowd who is cheering on the next civil war.
Combined with a lot of defeatist cope. "I don't need to stay politically active, I'm just going to let it all burn down and build back from the ashes! I'm smart, not broken and lazy!"
Definitely a lot of the rugged individualism as if they could recreate an electrical generator after the fall.
People who subscribe to accelerationist ideology are usually ok with blowing up the entire thing if it means we no longer live in a multicultural society or whatever. They'd like (their bullshit concept of) a "utopia," but would settle for complete destruction.
One less trump voter
What a fucking loser.
Maybe he meant mass casual event like a class reunion or Bingo night.
thank you brave and tireless agents of the Bureau
I gueeeeeeesssssssssssssss I can say yay cops here...............................
BUT ONLY THIS ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND
Accelerationist? Do I even want to know what that is?
Basically it's some that believes there is an up coming conflict (here seemingly a race war in his mind) and that by taking actions (here mass murder) they can cause the conflict to occur sooner, so they will sooner achieve their desired outcome of the conflict (here presumably some kind of ethno-state).
It's not always racially tied but seems to be in the particular case.
E.g. sometimes it's religiously driven, like the evangelical nutjobs who believe that by behaving like shitheads in whatever capacity is their sect's particular hobby-horse can somehow hasten the coming of the End Times. Whereupon they expect that they'll totally be the special ones to be raptured up to heaven and not all those other sods just like them who aren't "True Christians."
It's a bunch of losers who sabotage the current system to show how broken it is so they can burn it all down and create a new system. So, they accelerate the problems to overwhelm the system.
So, "Crash the old order and creat a new society!" Sounds like Elevator Action II without the fun parts.
I don't know if you want to know, but they define it in the article if you care to read it....
Dude is 26 and still sharing a bedroom with his brother? I know living at home longer is a common thing these days, but like that? I picture it as living in a spare room or in the basement or maybe a camper parked in the driveway. This guy isn't going places. Literally. Except to prison.
So many things to shame the guy over and you choose economic situation, which is not shameful, however unfortunate.
Wonder who had the top bunk.
