    That is deeply backwards thinking. What reason would this miserable fucker have to upend his life to murder a child if not for the decades of media justifying western imperialism by portraying Muslims as vermin?

      You’re right that everyone is a product of their environment, and there is a world where people like this aren’t so heavily propagandized that they resort to murder and genocidal thinking.

      I can also see how that statement could appear anti-Semitic, but it’s not. Because this guy is in the same camp as school shooters and American “great replacement” nazis. They have totally bought into the lies and perpetuate violence in service of the fucked up systems they buy into.

          Just the phrase “people like this”. We know here that I’m talking about reactionaries and zealots, but out of context it could be read as (((people like this)))

          I was talking about my own post of that wasn’t clear
