The depraved maniac in New Zealand has already accomplished his stated goal of spreading his sick views, which are now being amplified across the world. Breivik (cited by the maniac as inspiration) had the same goal and also succeeded. The incentives operative here are so warped.

His reason for bringing up a figure like Candace is to embolden American liberals/leftists to more aggressively restrict the Second Amendment, thereby fomenting political strife and a violent backlash. I am choosing not to post excerpts on Twitter. But that's my initial read.

What he fundamentally advocates is "fascistic accelerationism." (He self-identifies as a fascist). He perceives the principal enemies of that objective to be conservatives, especially US conservatives. Although the attack took place in NZ, his main political focus is the US.

So rather than help him achieve his stated objective (fomenting political strife in the US) you'd hope that US media would exercise caution and not start leveling wild, ill-considered charges. However, I am not optimistic.

Agree. And, insane as he was, he was still lucid enough to understand that the left media would find the temptation to indulge their hatred and blame the right to be irresistible. Indeed, many have gleefully taken the bait and are running with it.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1106536180961763328 …

I think he's an interesting voice to hear, even when I don't agree with him.

It is. He explicitly wrote a section of his manifesto on it,

Maybe it's different in this case? He says his goal is to create more division. Pointing out that passage in the manifesto might mitigate the knee-jerk reactions that normally follow a tragedy like this. "You're doing exactly what this monster wants!", that sort of thing.

...or, maybe he was maligning conservatives because he was focusing on those rowing generally in the same direction as him, but who he feels aren't rowing hard enough, or have their sites set accurately enough on the end goal...

Yes because conservatives love Muslims! (sarcasm). That's some twisted thinking.
