Watched part of the video, saying it's beyond fucked up doesn't even come close to describing it.

They better catch this sad sack excuse of a human being alive, he deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life.

All at-right groups should be treated as terrorist organizations, the same as ISIS is treated. Like ISIS, they're a menace to society.

Also, fuck Pewdiepie, asshole needs a tight leash on so that the moment he inevitably says something racist or bigoted, he's booted off every platform in existence. And fuck Donald Trump as well for legitimizing white nationalism and emboldening racist fucks.

This is also 100% on parents

Fuck parents who dont monitor their kids. Kids have access to all kinds of shit. There is zero filter.
Oh yea...like parents are going to be able to monitor every new social platform that comes affront, they would literally have to devout their work time to just stay on-top of that. Hell nowadays every kid knows about VPN's and shit. Meanwhile we are all on this forum posting threads and linking to social media platforms that aren't censoring anything, so contributing to this mess even more.

Anyone read the manifesto yet? I am about halfway through and frankly am disturbed by how self aware it comes across and how deeply mired in US politics he is.
The US has a major political party rooted in the exact same ideology that turns people radical. They just try to keep it on the DL and avoid the no no words.
Nationalism is the 'kill the jews' component of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, but we have a republican president proudly saying hes a nationalist.

Weirdly enough as a non white Canadian I was hoping to visit NZ through work holiday visa; I wonder if that is still advisable given they can't even track troubled Australians.
First major incident in decades. It's a beautiful country and you should absolutely visit if it was in your original plans.

It's a valid issue and an example of a company hand-waiving white supremacy as usual by cozying up to a site known to deal in that and worse. Shit needs to be excised until it's eradicated. This shit is all related to events like these.

It's not a valid issue in a thread about an active shooting.

Nah yeah it's totally a coincidence all these goons follow and love PDP

I'm sure any day now we will get a shooter telling ppl to subscribe to Marques Brownlee, it's just random right?

We're so fucking happy to do these fuckers' work for them and talk about them in their language of "edge lords", "trolls", using "memes".

They're sociopaths and criminals. Call them what they are and take the fucking kid gloves off.

Since the thread won't shut up about him...
I wonder how he'll respond to this. He was greatly disappointed when some idiots wrote "Subcribe to Pewdiepie" on a WWII memorial. But this is about 10,000x worse than that.
He's a grown man that needs to understand that his audience is particularly alt right

how the fuck they got their hands on a AR-15? government about to crack down hard
One of the shooters had at least 5 guns at the ready in his car. Semi-auto rifle and shotgun along with a couple of cans of gasoline.

I don't know what kind of training he had but he looked trained to me. Probably played airsoft and practiced somewhere private with the real guns.

My heart breaks after every one of these shootings. They're so pointless. Those lives didn't need to be lost. And people sometimes wonder why I'm depressed.

It seems like the only thing we can do is not be them. Exist, peacefully, and with love in our hearts both for our own identified groups as well as those we'd classify as others. Love for all is the only weapon that we have and the only one we should wield. It just isn't enough to make these moments stop.

The far right is going to be the death of us all. This is fucking completely out of hand.

PDP may claim not to be one of these people, but he's like a goddamn saint to these people. He needs to fuck off into oblivion.

PewDiePie's indirect, dog-whistle form of alt-right messaging is what EMBOLDENS these people.

The people ITT defending him need to get a grip.

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.
Really is a profound post. Completely agree.

Imagine stepping in to a thread about a mass shootings specifically to defend PewDiePie.

Can you kindly fuck off forever?
Hi, defending an alt right dogwhistler is not important when people are struggling with dozens of people being killed by an intolerant fuck. Your priorities are absolutely fucked.
So you'd agree that PDP and his fanbase influenced the shooter? PDP bears responsibility for the influence he wields, even if it was just one of many factors leading to the shooter's decision. Don't absolve him of that.
All of this hostility isn't needed, nor was it even asked for. If you actually were to kindly go read my previous posts I never stated once that PewDiePie is the beacon of hope and justice, and that his prior actions are the greatest thing to ever occur to humanity. No, instead if you are to actually read the context I stated that the bit in the video was not in fact related to PewDiePie as he and his beliefs and past actions, instead it was a meme of a current competition going on between T-Series and PewDiePie.

No where, not once, did I agree with PewDiePie or defend him. So kindly back down from your attacks and before posting actually read the context. I understand this is a very, very hot topic, but I stated that the terrorist's comments were in fact not at all linked to PewDiePie outside of it being a meme. Poor taste of a meme? Fuck yes, but a meme nonetheless that doesn't link one to the other on grounds of reason.

Trust me, I do not like this. I believe all religion and culture should be intertwined respectively. I also fucking hate that this terrorist is Australian, born and bred in my home country where I live and shared with. That, is fucked up. But what needs to be done is understanding why, how and what can we do. Stop throwing it under the rug of "oh its just those silly white supremacists at it again!" because it isn't. This is serious, people are being groomed suffering mental illnesses that can not associate what is real and what isn't, and they are being told that immigration is bad and killing some people in New Zealand will help stop the boats.

That's a fucking lie.

Not a PDP fan. But dude was just using shitty 8chan meme shit there. Blaming pdp at all is asinine.
You realize all this "trolling" and shitty memes are a cover they use for plausible deniability? PDP absolutely covers for this behavior and attract the type of folk who would do this. This is the end result of 4chan/8chan trolling.
Plus defending PDP right now? Not the place my dude.

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

It's a lot to make me tear up. But this has hit me hard. Aotearoa is so much better than this and we will prove it.

For the rest of the people even wanting to discuss anything PDP related, as a Kiwi it makes me beyond disgusted that you would even attempt to discuss at this point in time.

As a journalist, I'm glad this is something I don't have to cover.

Because I'm just so sad. I have so many things to say about all this, but now I'm just raging and I really have to turn off everything for a while.

My thoughts are directed to the people involved in this massive tragedy and their families.

I do not want to venture on Twitter right now. I do not want to see what happened. It is destroying me emotionally just reading about it. I cannot fucking grasp how a person can do this.

The fucking internet is creating extremists in plain sight and no one wants to do shit. The fuckers in charge of these websites should be fucking sued for negligence. Toss their ass in jail and garnish every penny they've earned for all I care. Google, Facebook, Twitter... all ran by fucking greedy sociopaths.
