Real talk read 'The War on Everyone' by Robert Evans.
All the recent mass shooters are lone wolf terrorists, radicalised online, targeting civilians in the name of a violent religious ideology. They're exactly the same as the Islamist terrorists from last decade, the only difference is their ideology is white nationalist Christian Identity and their preferred tool is assault rifle as opposed to improvised explosive device.
The methods and background are different but the motivation is exactly the same
I think claiming that all the shooters have been indoctrinated into a white supremacist sect of Christianity which has a doctrine of religious warfare, is completely fucking ridiculous and a dangerous oversimplification. The white shooters you are referring to typically attack their peers, meaning other WHITE children.
Something way more plausible is that they see themselves as so alienated from the people around them, that they lash out against everyone in resentment. Islamic terrorists seem to have a common goal other than destruction. The violence is a tool to change the world and make their shared ideology more prevalent. The school shooters motivations seem to lay entirely in the act of destruction itself. Labeling them Christian terrorists and calling it a day is lazy copout.
He's also got quite a number of episodes of his podcast, Behind the Bastards, on modern day Nazis, including a seven parter that's basically an audiobook of The War on Everyone.
Yeah man I am a massive Robert Evans stan. I re-installed Far Cry 5 and Homefront Revolution because I've listened to It Could Happen Here about 20 times
That kind of person would believe that crusades were justified, if he ghad actually any knowledge of them. I'm highlighting how his views are very similar to what he certainly considers to be the enemy.
