      What's disturbing here is this guy is merely regurgitating in violent form the cliches of centrist op-ed pages.https://twitter.com/KATUNews/status/869678386725109760 …

      Since people have queried me on this, I'm not saying centrist free speech banalities are responsible for killings.

      This how fascism works. Although located on far right, fascism is syncretic philosophy that opportunistically borrows from left & center

      From the left, fascism often steals rhetoric of economic anxiety, from the center a concern for national unity & anti-politics politics.

      In the current context, what's interesting is how contemporary fascist appropriate centrist free speech talk (anti-PC, anti-safe space, etc)

      Again, to be clear, this doesn't reflect on the quality of these ideas themselves (which deserve to be debated on own terms).

      If the killer (I won't deign to name him) seems ideologically incoherent that's because fascism itself always an opportunistic mishmash.

      Does it occur to anybody that this guy just has profoundly disordered and paranoid thinking and the particular content is beside the point?

      Even profoundly disturbed people can have ideas (see most recent lone wolf terrorist attacks)

          But its a mistake to try to suggest that the ideas are explanatory of his behavior. His psychosis is prior to his (superficial) ideology.

          I think (as with jihadist) that there is dynamic reinforcing aspect of ideology and disorder.

          This is true, but "he's crazy" is a critical piece of the puzzle when thinking abt this tragedy. At the end of the day, won't make sense
