Does the online far-right enable terrorism?
It's been a notable thing recently that a lot of the recent mass shootings are by people who were knee deep in online cultures such as 4 chan.
By 'ironically' talking about awful things, the most rightwards section of the Internet seems to be a cultivating ground for these people. I have met people on SW who I think would have been part of this radicalisation process.
It starts with theories of cultural war between peoples, moves to etno nationalism and ends with what happened in New Zealand.
Do the Christchurch shootings expose the murderous nature of ‘ironic’ online fascism?
