Mass Shooter in Buffalo got Radicalized on 4chan
Yes, there is a manifesto, no I will not link to it, nor am I going to directly quote from it. There are reasons for this, among them is that this guy, let’s call him a nobody, was inspired by the mass shooting in New Zealand. Yes, there is also a manifesto for that. No, I am not identifying that shooter either.
This is why there are no links, or quotes, in case you wonder.
My objective on this is to give you the motive for this shooting. This was not accidental, and the motive is white supremacy and the fear that radicalized whites have of a multicultural society.
The objective, and it is in the manifesto is terror. This is why he drove from far to commit this crime.
The shooter self-radicalized on 4chan, where he first started reading the gun forum. His social media is also filled with gun talk, and gun images. He went from that forum, to /Pol, where he proceeded to self-radicalize.
4Chan is filled with white supremacy and antisemitic material. In the manifesto, he self identifies himself as fascist, racist, and antisemitic. He holds particular hate for Jews who he describes as demons. But he also hates any people of color, who he sees as interlopers in white European society.
