So what do we make of anti-corporate pro-environmental violent racism?

[Recursion]

Drudge has the El Paso shooter's manifesto, if you're interested. It's like a neural net read 4chan: anti-corporation, anti-immigration, afraid of white genocide and ecological damage. Thinks of Latin America as an environmental hellhole and fears immigration will lead to the US looking like Honduras in terms of chemicals in the rivers and air.

It's a bizarre and toxic amalgam here.

1. K&R, MAGA Cult download is to make the Trump Aligned White Supremacist Terrorist seem like an

... eco terrorist.

They're failing and being laughed at

2. Eh.... no. There's a shitload of this out there

One of the reasons Oregon terrifies the hell out of me is the number of white supremacist eco-warriors I keep running into.

3. Hinting at genocide

Remember the coast guard nazi guy in maryland that was arrested before he did anything? He was talking about how to get WMD and wanted to kill on a massive scale if he could. They have fantasies about wiping out large populations of non whites.

This el paso shooter talks about a smaller population but he isnt saying the nasty genocide parts. He tries to dress it up and hide the nasty parts.

They know if they just come right out and start praising hitler a lot of people wont even bother reading their manifesto.

I noticed the Norwegian island killer did this in his manifesto too.. danced all around the fact that hes just repeating nazi stuff and tried to make himself look like hes not a hitler fan.

5. anti corporate shooters

(the Unabomber is as close as I remember,) should be shooting up the board of directors, not the customers.

i'm not going to fault neo confederate environmentalists. maybe it is a path to their eventual enlightenment.?

6. He was shooting up brown people

Because he saw them as "invading" the US to "replace" white people.

7. This "eco-fascism" isn't freeing the animals from the zoo or stopping trees from being cut down

It's just a belief that the "other" is taking your air, food, and water.

It's fascism with a new bow.

9. Fascism that can read a thermometer (nt)

8. I noticed a strain of that thirty years ago

when I flirted around the edges of EarthFirst! and interacted with some of the direct action folks. Similar trends popped up in the straightedge punk community and even some animal rights and animal liberation activists.

Luckily it was a very small minority of those groups espousing or exhibiting these beliefs, but who knows what the self-reinforcement loop of internet discussion has wrought in the intervening decades?
