Major terrorist (white supremacist) attack in Christchurch (NZ) [UP6: 4 suspects in custody, 50 confirmed dead] (READ THREADMARKS)

The PDP thing is tertiary to the actual problem.
The global alt right is a creation of nihilism. These people are deeply nihilistic, they don't care about human life, they don't care about the sanctity of human existence. Everything the do isn't because of some deeply held racist beliefs, it's "for the lelz" because everything is a joke. Taking things seriously is a joke. Living is a joke. Doing something like this is a profound statement for their warped and perverse form of meaning that they derive from our hyper-reality. Because they spend all day online, being radicalized because that's the only avenue for "meaning" that they can actually find.
This is an issue that runs deeper than a youtuber and a few bad actors. This is an issue with how we treat the interconnectivity we now have and how social media actually isolates and insulates us more than anything else. How it allows people like these monsters to burrow in and bury themselves into this facade of meaningful engagement when it's all just them being manipulated by the most nihilistic sociopath's possible. People who literally just want the world to burn around them because they don't care about others, including their own thralls or their white nationalist ethnostate dreams, beyond how they can be used to give them a flash of importance before they themselves die meaningless deaths.
We are fucking live streaming mass murder not as a "look at this awful thing happening" but because it's a perverse form of engagement and entertainment. Because it's a window into madness without having to step there ourselves.
God this is so fucking depressing.

That makes more sense. Sorry I'm just really upset at all this. Don't conflate entertainment with this shit.

The problem is it's so hard to get rid of a website for good. Look how many times PirateBay has returned.
Reaaaly hoping he meant the video games he once enjoyed are disgusting in light of real-world atrocities all too similar to the games.
Sooner we brand these people as the terrorists they are, the better.
Yep. This fucking murderer wouldn't be shouting PDP out if he didn't have an effect on their white nationalist mentality. That winking to and participating in a toxic culture of ironic/edgy racism is what eventually leads to this.
Except it isn't just lulz at Nazi bullshit. It's dozens of people ruthlessly and coldly murdered for no fucking reason

I know the feeling, I live near Quebec city and that shooting was a gut punch.
He won't, money and fame matters more than anything to some people. He will find a way to distance himself or just pretend it did not happen
Holy crap, and he live-streamed it? I've never been to 8chan and I don't plan on changing that, but how can that site survive being taken down after this?
I'm A Kiwi Muslim who grew up Dunedin and Hamilton. This is making me tear up. NZ is probably the most tolerant country for multi faiths and a beacon of how successful multi culturalism to the world.
But maybe I'm naive and hate is actually constantly simmering underneath our beloved Aotearoa

The news stream just reported that video is circulating allegedly showing a gunman being arrested.

This is honestly an important thing. There's a reason that one shooter posted on /r9k/ a board about Robots/NEETs/the sterotypical 4channer. Positive thoughts is not welcome on the site, and I'll admit I've been affected by it's nihilism too. I haven't shaken it off yet but I fear it has taken a greater root in me then I hoped...
New Zealand Police

Dozens feared killed as at least two gunmen open fire at two central Christchurch mosques
Gunmen have opened fire at mosques in Christchurch, with reports of between nine and 27 people killed and police urging residents to stay indoors. One man is in custody.
I know it's not the same, but the accuracy fucking scares me. :(
Thanks guys. We're hoping for the best, she's an older woman and they're the only family she has left.
How do you permanently kill a website? A community? You need a global effort.
Edit: 1 in custody, multiple shooting scenes
It's too difficult to find the words.
My only advice is do not watch the video and do not share them. or those on Twitter, I recommend turning off autoplay if you haven't already.
For what it's worth, social media has unfortunately made it ridiculously easy for people to stumble across footage (especially when being spread en masse) through no fault of their own.

8chan users are saying their goodbyes, this is probably the end of the site
God, the video is just horrible! I'm speechless...
Shit, places like storm front are still going despite literally being there for neo-nazis.
As always if you're white you get protected by free speech and more.
If you're brown then you end up being arrested and kicked out of uni for looking at stuff publicly available on us government websites when researching your thesis.

Agreed. They have closed down other channels for much much less.
100% truth.
I know exactly what you mean and it is depressing. I used to think this stuff would blow over fuck I had a nihilistic side when I was younger but I never wanted the world to burn and people to suffer.
I dont have a good or happy life but I still have empathy and love for others. I can not understand not caring about anything.
I have no idea what can be done about it other than it letting these things exist in the way they do.
It's too rampant it's not a joke and its causing real terrorism.
Australian born, living in New Zealand.
This is irrelevant when we have one of the killers live streaming the event, his 'manifesto' online and his posting history on 8chan easily found.
Mate, we've had terrorists in the US that literally say they are white supremacists and mainstream media still went out of their way to ask if 'white nationalism' was the cause for X shooting.
They will continue to use the 'Lone Wolf, Good boy' defense so long as they are only blasting PoC, and aren't wearing hoods and MAGA hats. Don't get your fucking hopes up.
Nailed it. Privileged useless psychopathic assholes all of them
RIP to the victims
also Holy fucking shit, I cant believe that there is POV video of the shooting.
