      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 …

The Buffalo shooter had a toothache.

      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 agree, the racism came first and the dentist stuff is just motivated reasoning he used to egg himself on. But as to the origins of racism, I'm not sure if the disinformation (or online BS) is primary or not.

          I don't know either, but he clearly lays out that he got deeply into antisemitism and replacement theory after he moved over from the gun forum to /pol/, and that it centered his hatred into an ideology. He said his idolization of other chan shooters drove him to action.

          And it's his parents fault that this happened. They weren't doing their jobs.

          I think of it more like a catalyst. The resting state is attitudes towards race passed on during rearing.

          I mean the internet really has made more public the racist memes & jokes people told within their own little cliques long before the internet. The Tulsa Race Riot/Pogrom in 1921 & Chicago Race Riot/Pogrom of 1919 did not need the internet.
