If he was truly remorseful he would've shut it down not pass it off
Seems like full on remorse came later. The headache of owning the site is what he really hated(why he still worked on it after transfer of ownership).
Interesting read OP

Becoming a Christian doesn't mean anything. Those are usually the ones with the most hatred😂😂I think you can recognize the bad he's done but also recognize that he's done a 180 and realized the consequences of his actions.
He needs to be extradited back to the US and face justice immediately. Can you imagine if a BIPOC had done even a tenth of what this literal piece of shit did? People of Colour get locked up and killed for selling loose cigarettes, meanwhile this colonizer builds a nazi training camp all in the name of freeze peach and then just skates off to gentrify other cultures? Fuck white supremacy.
That was an interesting read. I've been on the internet forever (like acoustic coupler/bbs forever), but never really experienced chan sites. Based on who I was as a very angry and abrasive late teen/20's small town disabled kid in the late 90s that's probably for the best.
It's all image. No way he has truly changedI'm glad he has seemingly changed.
Nobody has the obligation to forgive him or anything though.
I hate feeling bad for someone that founded a website that has contributed to so much hate, death, and pain, but reading the first ~40% of it I feel bad for him. The article doesn't even describe why but his parents divorce, his father gets custody of him as a child, and loses custody of him, he goes into foster care, as a very disabled person that's... sad. My sadness for him doesn't make up for his complicity in extreme viewpoints and the horrendous results, but that's a really hard childhood.
An extraordinary amount of people deal with debilitating medical conditions and difficult family circumstances.
All without becoming a Nazi and creating a terrorist training ground.
I personally don't agree with this. Just because they could go to another site, it doesn't mean that we should do nothing or justify our creation. Yeah they can go to another site but a rapid migration is so difficult to pull off well.
In the meantime, Brennan's online identity was developing. "I was known as the guy who was always talking about eugenics, that was my thing," he says. He posted about it every day. In 2014, he wrote a disturbing essay, published on the white supremacist website The Daily Stormer, calling for the sterilisation of people with diseases like his. It simmers with anger, especially at his father, whom he calls "a complete deadbeat". It ends: "I am simply asking for compassion from an ignorant society that falsely believes it is unethical to give genetically defective people incentives not to reproduce. I am simply arguing for a world full of healthy, happy children who can play outside with their friends without breaking their legs."
Brennan's views on eugenics were unarguably appalling, but they should also be seen in the context of his experience. He hated his parents for bringing him into a life of pain, and it led him to this monstrous viewpoint. "I don't want to speak for everybody with a disability, but I hate being disabled and I always have," he tells me.
Digi as always, cutting through the bullshit.I don't entertain sympathy or empathy for the world's worst perpetrators of hatred...
Not in a world where black people can't get a shred of it for benign daily living
I'm glad he has seemingly changed.

Like... he invited the gamergate crowd there, what was the accident
I read the article. Dude was a child pornography enabling nazi platform providing eugenicist.

Sorry, where is the remorse? This?
When he sees news like the Christchurch shooting, Brennan says it makes him "worried for the future".
Mr. Glass was a deplorable human being who got dealt a shitty hand. Smart guy, but shitty. That's the only parallels I can find. I can't say I'd ever give someone some pretentious title like that, I was simply pointing out that I could tell the guy didn't read the article.I read the article. Dude was a child pornography enabling nazi platform providing eugenicist.
He was raised by a edgy hate site that trained him that being the most audaciously vile is commendable. So no, I don't think he should be compared to Mr. Glass because he would probably take it as a compliment.
Tell me about it.
