New Zealand shooter, QAnon fans get their radicalization from the exact same place
What kind of site is The Daily Dot, I wonder. Will have to check it out. Hmm. Rothschild author.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Dot
The Daily Dot is a digital media company covering Internet culture and life on the web. Founded by Nicholas White in 2011, The Daily Dot is headquartered in Austin, Texas.[2]
The site, conceived as the Internet’s “hometown newspaper,”[3] focuses on topics such as streaming entertainment, geek culture, memes, gadgets and social issues, such as LGBT, gender and race. In addition, an e-commerce arm produces branded video for advertisers and sells items from an online marketplace.[3][4]

Even the leftistpuke site Media Bias/Fact check says the Daily Dot is a leftist site.

LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.
Oops, forgot to add this additional about The Daily Dot from the wikipedia link:
History
The Daily Dot was established in 2011 by Nicholas White, whose goal was to cover Internet communities such as Reddit and Tumblr in the same manner as hometown newspapers cover their own communities. White has experience with that model: His family has been in the newspaper business since buying the Sandusky Register in Ohio in 1869, and White was a reporter and executive with the family’s media company before establishing the site.[5]
White launched The Daily Dot with $600,000 and a handful of full-time reporters. Many of the site’s early stories were filed to a Google Doc and reported on Facebook and Twitter. After establishing a headquarters in Austin, Texas, the company added other offices but many staff worked remotely from other locations.[5] It raised a $10 million private investment to add staff, produce digital content and develop its internal creative agency in 2015, ramping up its output to 50-70 stories a day.[2][6] Its coverage has focused on “under-reported”[5] areas while emphasizing progressive issues such as body-positivity and feminism. White has also highlighted the need to diversify his staff. “Journalism has been dominated by a few select types of voices. We have an opportunity to break from that cycle,” he has said.[2]
The Daily Dot has pursued several content strategies while building its online presence. In 2012, it was one of the first major sites to launch dedicated eSports coverage. In 2016, the company sold that section, Dot Esports, to Gamurs, an Australian esports multimedia operation.[7]
In 2014, it purchased The Kernel, a competing website, and turned it into a weekly Sunday edition featuring long-form editorial built around a single theme. The Kernel founder and editor-in-chief Milo Yiannopoulos stepped down following the acquisition.[8] The Kernel ceased regular publication in 2016.[9]
It also has collaborated on video projects with partners including HLN, on a co-branded series called Next Sex;[10] the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for which it produced a public service announcement encouraging vaccination featuring Sesame Street character Elmo and former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy;[11] and television cooking personality Alton Brown, which has garnered more than 6.7 million views on YouTube.[12][13]
In January 2016, the site launched VIP Voices, a collection of op-eds from high-profile contributors on Internet issues in public discourse. Contributors include Mayor Bill de Blasio, Representative Ted Lieu, and Senator Mike Lee.[citation needed]
In October 2017, The Daily Dot launched “2 Girls 1 Podcast,” an Internet culture podcast hosted by Allison Goldberg and Jennifer Jamula, in partnership with The Podglomerate.[14]
In 2018, The Daily Dot sued the New York Police Department to access handgun license applications filed by Donald Trump and two of his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.[15] The suit alleges that the NYPD declined a request made by The Daily Dot under New York’s Freedom of Information Law to release the information, citing privacy and safety concerns; the site argues the information should be public.[16]
The company had a full-time staff of 76, in addition to 222 freelance contributors, in early 2016[2] before laying off 40% of its total staff in September 2016.[17] White, who called the layoff a “restructuring,” said the move was necessary to refocus resources on growing areas such as video, e-commerce and sales.[18] The site’s e-commerce videos, produced in conjunction with advertisers, are shared on Facebook and generate revenue by sharing a portion of sales. In addition, the site has built two online storefronts, the Bazaar and The Daily Dot Store, on which it sells items.[4]
I posted right after NZ, Rothschild already had DS narrative ready to go
:: the manifesto is strikingly similar to the recently published QAnon book in its tone and style ::
