I actually went to Steven Crowder's website to read part of the manifesto this guy wrote because I was having a hard time finding it anywhere else. I'll link the manifesto shortly, but Crowder has it available to look at. Some of the stuff that was asked that the shooter answered about himself in this manifesto (and it's quoted) and the parts Crowder posted:
"Were/are you a conservative?
No, conservatism is corporatism in disguise, I want no part of it.
Were/are you a christian?
That is complicated.
When I know, I will tell you.
Were/are you a fascist?
Yes. For once, the person that will be called a fascist, is an actual fascist. I
am sure the journalists will love that.
I mostly agree with Sir Oswald Mosley’s views and consider myself an
Eco-fascist by nature.
The nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the
People’s Republic of China."
This guy doesn't identify clearly as Left Wing, Right Wing, nor Socialist. He likes the idea of Trump because he's white, but doesn't like Trump nor his policies (he makes that VERY clear). He also talks about birth rates and overpopulation destroying the environment and that's linked to climate change. There's even a wheel that this guy made and it touches on almost everything he says. Based on what that wheel and the statements he made in his manifesto, I don't know where the Left is getting this idea that this guy is a Right Wing extremist, when, in many ways, he sounds like an environmentalist, racist, Marxist, Left Wing nut job, even though this guy basically says he's both Right and Left wing (and doesn't say he's a Socialist). My opinion: regardless of where he stands politically, this guy's mentally insane and deserves to live out the rest of his life in a psych ward with armed guards around him 24/7.
This is why you wait until there are details on cases like this. This, by itself, is pretty damning because it's coming from the guy's own mouth (in print form). But what's going to happen is this story will fade away quickly, since it's not some crazy Right Wing guy wanting to kill some Muslims the Left was hoping for. Anyway, here's the manifesto, and, wow, this guy's a raving lunatic. The Great Replacement: New Zealand Shooter Brenton Torrant's manifesto
