    This is an interesting thread, although leaves me with 2 big questions: 1) wasn't the shooter's family middle class (civil engineers), so why didn't they pay for dentistry? 2) is disinformation the right word for racist bullshit?https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1527713922928852993 …

        I usually am on the same page with him, but I honestly have no idea what he's trying to communicate or add to the 'discourse' with this thread

        But it's part of the killer's discourse with himself. That there's an absurdity factor is perhaps the point. You have a small pan fire over here and the chans pour on the oil, and now all dentists are swindling Jews.

        He did see the dentist. He couldn’t solve the problem.

        1) He was clearly using it as an excuse for his much larger hatred against Blacks and Jews. He was radicalized first, then every stubbed toe became a plot to him. Racism was everything. 2) I don't care what you call it, but some people really want the status quo to continue.

        I don't know what the purpose here is, but the sick message being conveyed is, "Take better care of white men and make sure they feel like they're 100% in charge of everything or they'll kill everyone who isn't them."
