New Zealand shooter, QAnon fans get their radicalization from the exact same place
DailyDot ^ | Mike Rothschild

Posted on 03/18/2019 2:55:58 PM PDT by MNDude

even though there’s no evidence that the shooter is a Q believer, the radical anti-immigrant rhetoric of the shooter matches up perfectly with the fascistic beliefs of QAnon. For one thing, the manifesto is strikingly similar to the recently published QAnon book in its tone and style, as both are full of long rambling digressions and personal grievances, often backed up by Wikipedia citations.

QAnon is part of this radicalization, with its believers espousing end-of-the-world fantasies about shooting looters, hanging the Clintons, and scooping up their enemies in ad hoc trials. All the while, Twitter and Facebook allow it to continue with little moderation. And several times these fantasies have spilled into real-life, in the form of murder, arson, and police standoffs. Ultimately, the major tech companies could prevent another Christchurch by removing, banning, or deplatforming many of the worst offenders spreading the messages and incitements to violence racist violence. This includes the QAnon conspiracy. And that could be the biggest reason of all that Q believers want so badly to latch on to this horrific crime. Some of them want to get away with it too.

Q is a fantasy-sharing knitting circle for idiots.

It is confined to its own sewer on FR for a reason.

That said, blaming Q Tards for this Australian maniac’s crime is a stretch.

Wow. Which part of no connection to QAnon didn’t they get. They post it, then blame QAnon and Trump. Like ‘Russian collusion’ and blame Trump, but NEVER look at the DNC and Hillary. The murderer already has ties to socialists and fascists, and perhaps an attack on the North Korean embassy in Spain last year. There is evidence, although not strong, they they were Clowns in America trained and sponsored. That explains both the North Korean event, and the training that the murderer obviously had.

The left doesn’t want to admit that this is just another radicalized socialist, like the other political murders recently, the race baiters, the race hate fakers, and the fake news. Everyone needs to dig, before you accept no scenes like this article.

What a total crap site that is.

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]

In addition, an e-commerce arm produces branded video for advertisers and sells items from an online marketplace.[3][4]

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]

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

Right. The shooter traveled all over the middle east. I am willing to bet that Mike Rothschild knew about this before it even happened.

Now if anyone wants to know a little more about what is known about this guy that is being covered up by the MSM then just read this article. If you don’t like the Q stuff then just skip around it. There is plenty more than that here:

Why do we hear about gun control when non Muslims shoots someone. But no one ask how Muslims get guns and commit crime?

The NZ shooting won’t take the headlines away from the criminality and treason of some in the Washington Establishment. Nothing can stop what is coming. The shooting also appears setup to discredit 8chan and the Q Anons, which you confirm by your post.
All these mentally ill shooters are on powerful drugs and under the influence of therapist. Be nice to interview them, but they disappear afterwards. Podesta was in NZ just days prior, what is his connection? Did the shooter travel to the Middle East recently, if so, who paid for his travel? MN Progressive dude, wake up and think for yourself. Your 4AM MSM talking points are predictable.

MNDude's post simply points out the Left's continued habit of smearing people.

Just like when they claim "Republicans are Nazis!"

They are saying anyone who follows Q is a mass murderer.

Maybe Beto is Q-Anon. He was part of the Cult of the Dead Cow where he hacked online games and stole credit card numbers..

I bet Beto had a major influence on the NZ shooter.

Idiot. You just have to wait 111 days from a Q prediction for it to come true. Jeez. Try to keep up ;-)

BTW I know a guy in Florida who thinks he could call on all real Americans from every persuasion to save our country of liberty, the light of freedom throughout the world.

First we have to save our country. President Trump is our ally. Guaranteed. ;-)

Some people who read Q do some speculation on dates when things might occur, and then people like you claim Q said it. Q didn’t name any dates. One of those speculations is for tomorrow. Not today. So you were not even accurate about that. But I don’t put a let of stock in speculations anyways.

Now I want to know what you are going to do if in the near future...

You find out that investigations into corrupt federal officials at the FBI have been occurring for a long time.

If you find out there was huge conspiracy at the federal and even at the international level that was designed to take out Trump.

If indictments are issued against many past top Officials.

If Declas of the FISA documents occurs.

What will you say about Q then?

I am willing to bet that nothing could ever change your mind.

I’m willing to bet that none of the things you mentioned is in fact occurring.

It is the fantasy of folks who WANT to believe that criminals eventually are brought to justice. I share that goal. I am just waiting for the evidence. So far there has been none.

OK so you have gone on record saying you don’t believe those things to be true.

What I asked is what will you do if those things do come true? Would you have a change of heart?
