BF2S Forums Official Mass Shooting & Suicide Bomber thread

“For too long we have allowed the left to co-opt the environmentalist movement to serve their own needs,” the Buffalo manifesto states. “The left has controlled all discussion regarding environmental preservation whilst simultaneously presiding over the continued destruction of the natural environment itself through mass immigration and uncontrolled urbanization, whilst offering no true solution to either issue.”

This invocation of eco-fascism, or green racism, echoes that of a white nationalist who killed 51 people in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019.

“The invaders are the ones over-populating the world,” the Christchurch murderer wrote in his own manifesto. “Kill the invaders, kill the overpopulation and by doing so save the environment.”

Just a few months after the New Zealand attack, a gunman killed 23 people in El Paso, Texas, leaving behind a note that also blamed overpopulation for causing pollution. “If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable,” he wrote.

Studies have repeatedly shown that migration itself does not cause an increase in carbon emissions or other pollution – indeed, American-born people are far larger consumers of resources than new immigrants – and that voracious consumption, rather than population per se, is the primary driver of the climate and ecological crises that currently grip the world.

However, the latest shooting shows that a dangerously warped vision of environmentalism is now becoming an increasingly common animating force for rightwing extremists, according to Betsy Hartmann, an expert in the environment and migration at Hampshire College.

“It’s extremely frightening,” she said. “Eco-fascism has always been a part of white supremacy, even going back to Hitler, but it would seem to me in white supremacist circles it’s becoming a more accepted part of the ideology. It’s not an outlier anymore.”

yes, comparison. mentioning the khmer rouge in the context of western democracies. i'm really surprised you didn't study history.

we are not talking about revolutionary movements in post-colonial or newly independent states. that's not the scenario in any western liberal democracy, where indeed it is precisely right-wing ethnonationalists who pose a bigger problem than bogeymen 'socialists'.

the difference being, real groups of actual people are organizing and killing people in the united states under the umbrella of far-right ("nazi") ideologies. the last time i checked, there weren't any vans mounting sidewalks, bombing campaigns, murderous shooting sprees, or attempted coups in the name of communism – nor even of 'antifa', really.

These things go in cycles.

I'm sure communism has killed more people than the far-right outside Germany. Maybe including Germany.

Also I probably wouldn't want to be an industrious white person in Rhodesia or South Africa.
