well lately if its not views related to Trump, its views related to Carlson.
"Whites are being replaced by people of color."
Reminds me so much of MAGA, or should I say, MAWA. ( "Make America White Again."
Now I understand even more clearly why the FBI is concerned about the far right, lots of social media interaction and radicalization of them.
The suspect in the
fatal shooting of 10 people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket Saturday was reportedly
haunted in his writing by the “great replacement” conspiracy theory — a viciously racist view of the world that has been
touted by Fox News host Tucker Carlson and several other far-right personalities.
Gendron, 18, referred to “racial replacement” and “white genocide” in his writings, according to the Times. The first page included a symbol known as the
sonnenrad, or black sun, which was once used by German Nazis but has been adopted by white supremacist neo-Nazis, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
In an interview on
CNN Saturday night, Rep. Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.), who represents Buffalo, called the mass shooting part of a planned,
“organized” effort to attack the minority community within an “element in our society that is blatantly racist, and they’re violent.”
The horrific crime “points to an effort to exact domestic terrorism that is racially motivated,” he added. “That threat to our community in Buffalo and western New York is a threat to the nation.”
This is a “problem that’s pervasive and growing,” he warned.
“This was pure evil,” Erie County Sheriff John Garcia said of Gendron, who traveled some 200 miles from his home in Conklin, New York, to carry out the attack. “A straight-up racially motivated hate crime.”
The suspected shooter expressed repeated fears online that whites are being replaced by people of color, The New York Times reported.
