Yeah, get offline for a while, and do some jogging. That's my advice.As a muslim, this news and the various [hate filled] reactions online messed me up pretty bad today. Could not focus at work and ended up leaving early.
Are you comparing Pewdiepie to ISIS? That's a bit of a stretch.
Don't let the hate get to you bro, if you do they win. Just keep living your life normally and do your best to show the people around you that being a muslim is nothing like what all the haters try to make it out to be.As a muslim, this news and the various [hate filled] reactions online messed me up pretty bad today.

Right it's totally anecdotal but most of the 25-35 year olds I know, basically all of them white, are pretty liberal and I guess at worst tolerant so to say. A lot of the sub 25 white people I talk to in any amount of detail seem to be outright trump fans or buy into some kind of weird European heritage garbage.
And then people on this board say it's just jokes and memes and trolling, don't worry about it. Yeah I don't buy that. They are getting that shit from somewhere and they are at their most impressionable. They aren't going to just flip a switch and become liberal Dems. You're pretty much where you're at at 18-25 typically.
I disagree. When you are 18-25 you are, myself included, a fucking moron. I was right wing too and hated the idea that someone would get something for free that I was working my ass off to get. I also had trouble relating to people and hated hearing about the environment.
The difference was I didn't have the internet. So if I went out in the real world and acted like a real moron I would get (quite rightly) punched in the mouth. Time went by, life happened, I learned compassion and I'm now about as left as can be.
We can't really slap people remotely so this all comes down to leadership. Leadership from the top level (ie nz right now and not fucking both sides america or hypocritical australia), leadership from influencers (like a simple, "don't be a white supremacist" and leadership from every one of us to go out and vote, and generally help each other out and have everyone's back.
This is why the whole pdp thing is so infuriating. He either needs to step up or have his platform fired into the fucking sun. And don't get me started on Trump or Morrison.
For my part I don't believe in any religion but I'll love any muslim or otherwise like a brother. No matter how fucked up the world gets, know that you are welcome in my home.
Sadly, he's passed away. Fucking hero.I think the man who attempted to stop the killer actually survived.
But that's the thing, we grew up before a completely toxic internet culture was really in full swing, and now even in public its acceptable for these shit heels to just yell fake news at you and ignore any criticism from you. I had a 37 year old fucking colleague do this to me at a work function baseball game. That's where we're at.
Perhaps he was talking about the guy at the second mosque who wrestled a gun away from the dickhead shooter, but was unable to do much because he didn't know how to actually fire the gun. He's alive and has been giving interviews. He also likely prevented many deaths at that second mosque.

Probably. That's what we did after Port Arthur.All Semi-automatics? As in, basically everything but Bolt actions, lever rifles and revolvers?
No I was talking about influence to him. He said comedians don't have that type of influence because they're only jokes and therefore devoid of value
The Guardian has an updated overview article as well as their live feed is still being updated.I would really appreciate a threadmarked update with a current information summation. It's an important thread and should be updated at this length.
Apparently he is backtracking as per the other thread.

He's firmly in the alt-right camp, and yes the alt-right is pretty much as bad as ISIS. Show me a list of successful ISIS attacks outside of the middle east vs alt-right inspired terrorist attacks/mass shootings. The alt-right has been pretty fucking successful at indoctrinating terrorists into action and it's intentional. Pdp makes hateful content about black people, Jews, and Muslims all the time. It's really not a stretch.

He walked it back saying they are still discussing but that it's on the tableWow. Hard to believe something like this could even happen, coming from the US.
oh wow what a tragedy the next mosque shooter is going to have to use a bolt action.All Semi-automatics? As in, basically everything but Bolt actions, lever rifles and revolvers?

The only thing I've learnt as I've got older is that as a species Humanity never listens or learns from its mistakes.
Also, social media, twitter in particular needs more stringent legal controls, if not outright banning.
The intent of this individual was to divide and conquer, and that's precisely what he's done and continues to do.
This is terrifying and scary. As a muslim, these type of stories are the reason why I started to shy away from Americans in general. I know this is not right, but I can't help it.
I know exactly how you feel. People say these are simply isolated incidents and to not let them win, but walking around daily with fear over your head is so stressful. Especially when you see the casual apathy and hatred on social media. This stuff feels like it's becoming more common.This is terrifying and scary. As a muslim, these type of stories are the reason why I started to shy away from Americans in general. I know this is not right, but I can't help it. I started to live in a bubble with my arab friends, which is not what I intended when I first came here. I can't wait to graduate and go back to my country. I might be overreacting sorry, but this is just depressing
I pray for the victims and their families. Muslims in Western countries be careful please.
Of course. When you keep hearing these stories about islamphobia it happens subconsciously. I love my experience here in America and I met amazing people. I haven't had bad experiences personally. I will try and get out of this bubble, and not let this get to me.I understand where you're coming from, but don't let a handful of crazies influence your opinion on the greater whole of people.

Yep. The Australian government and a good deal of politicians are pretty high up this pyramid. Basically, just below calls for violence:It's tiring to see these fake people in the media and politics acting like they care about Muslims.
