      1. So, on the Toronto Attack, two things in no particular order – and not particularly unique – but stuff I wish people would remember:

      2. First, there are some truly despicable people out there. The attackers, for one, who go out of their way to cause mayhem and heartbreak for whatever causes they hold dear. Fuck them, truly and fully.

      3. The other set of despicable people are those like Laura Loomer and Paul Joseph Watson who, knowingly, peddle complete and utter nonsense just to fuck with people. It was a Middle Eastern name, he was dark skinned, a disembodied Allahu Akbar was heard – and so on.

      4. They have no other purpose except exploit incident, which they then infuse with pieces of unverified information to continue to divide and demonize people. Fuck them too, truly and fully.

      5. Another set of despicable people are the online troll armies, who unlike Loomer/Watson don’t really seem to have a cause, but just enjoy creating confusion and watching as reputable journalists fall for a trap they set up. The key example of this seems to be this post.pic.twitter.com/ivpyOfVQYA

      6. Researchers who watch this closely saw red flags but were also “waiting for verification”. A Facebook post showing up, using the attacker’s LinkedIn photo, with no other information on it is weird, but “could be” real, and it points to the only thing we really want: motive.

      7. A journalist asked me “why” someone would do this. The answer is: just cus. Angela Nagle in her book “Kill All Normies” called it the politics of transgression. Here’s what one 4chan poster said about this culture (photo from Nagle’s book).pic.twitter.com/ZQOzRhIQjF

      8. Secondly, and this is for some of my friends on the left: the immediate “only brown people get charged with terrorism” angle is demonstrably false, and also contributes nothing to the conversation.

      9. Related: the “white attackers don’t get called terrorists” crowd, who are out there holding bizarre view that if we could just call everyone a terrorist, we would all feel better. That somehow a key cure for Islamophobia is to EXPAND the use of the word, not to restrict it.

      Replying to @AmarAmarasingam

      I see your point. But I don’t think the motivation of this crowd is to fix islamophobia by calling everyone a terrorist. Rather it’s to repeatedly call out a 2ble standard. Surely, white supremacist & now incel violence seeks to advance an agenda, and could be called terrorism.
