White supremacist radicalization via popular discourse and the El Paso Shooter - Page 29 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

The evidence of posts supporting the actions of the three suspects will fuel fears that a*“cascade” of rightwing extremist attacks*is gathering supporters around the world.

“We are now no longer talking about one-off events, but a loosely coordinated chain of far-right attacks across the world, where members of these networks inspire – and challenge – each other to beat each others’ body counts,” said Peter Neumann, professor of security studies at King’s College London.

“The ultimate motivation … is to launch a race war. The aim is to carry out attacks, claim responsibility, explain your action, and inspire others to follow.”

NYT finally fixed their article.

Correction: Aug. 11, 2019
Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misidentified the message board on which the suspect in the attack posted messages before the mosque attack. While it was an online message board, it was not 8chan.

If I'm a lefty, at what point would I become militant to stop far right extremism? It occurs to me, I'm not motivated at all to be militant to stop immigration (no matter what motives on immigration people think I have), and never would reach that point. However, if I thought there was a serious threat of far right extremism, even as a "righty", I'd think there is some point I would become militant to stop it.

Is there a point where any of you lefties would become militant? If so, what is that point?

The concept of a specific point/line for this sort of thing is a classic fallacy.

I thought that's what made my response ironic, and funny.

Ah sorry, I read it as amusing in a different way. Even better with the irony.
