Interesting (but not really surprising?) how this man is being described as lonely and 'maybe influenced' (rather than radicalised) by these things - feels a bit different to when non-white men do these kinds of things. Sigh. Come on world, I'm sure we can do better. I hope!!

Definitely tones of that in the article, I should have prefaced with that - my oversight. The language does absolve white male responsibility now I've read it again, thank you for highlighting - not to be excused.

The thread talks more productively and explicitly about radicalisation and terrorism on the far right and the misogyny used as a hook. No matter what the breed of hate, it shows that there is a powerful element of insecurity about masculinity that draws many men to these forums.
-
I've often ranted about how the greatest common factor between people who carry out acts of terror is being male, and that we are in a crisis of masculinity that feeds into other forms of hatred - I've just never had insight into how this actually happens on the far right.
