so Grokipedia is really bad, in case anybody was wondering, but I'm going to just kind of quickly write a short thread about why. I'm going to focus on the article of neo-fascist William Luther Pierce, because I just published my MA thesis on him a few months ago.

An excellent piece on a recent school attack in Malaysia
What did Bangkok's Siam Paragon mall shooting and Malaysia's Bandar Utama school stabbing incidents have in common?
Both were carried out by 14(M). What linked these two is memetic violence, inspired by online communities glorifying mass attacks and nihilism.

Key Finding
The manifesto referenced Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, and Uvalde. It also cited Death Note and Zero Day film. The attacker used gaming terminology (NPCs) to other or dehumanise victims - a pattern we've seen in Western school shooters now appearing in Malaysia.

A recent school stabbing in Malaysia resulted in a girl's death. The attacker's note followed typical shooter manifesto patterns, inspired by US incidents. My analysis is controversial, but understanding these motivations is key to develop prevention measures.

Something interesting that I'm seeing lately is the new generation in these circles is using "The Fire Rises" as a way to talk in code about the actual real living people who were involved in AWD

Okay. Time for a thread about the Accelerationist propaganda mod for Hearts of Iron 4 and why it's bad that I don't see anyone in the field really talking about how video games and the networks around them are working to radicalize young men at an alarming rate. It urgently needs to be addressed /1

Sorry no one is allowed to protest unless everyone in the crowd reads my syllabus first
This person is called Pissshitter because their takes are both piss and shit. Asking the average American to engage with “revolutionary leftists lit” is like trying to draw blood from a rock, just ain’t gonna happen. You meet people where they are, not where you want them to be in your imagination.

New, vital work from @maargentino.com for those dealing w/ NVE. For ppl wanting the definition, I pulled a few quotes.
I really want to stress this part:
“Ideology is not absent w/in the nihilistic violent extremist milieu. However, it typically functions as a secondary or even tertiary factor”

This is an important piece about the Annunciation Church attacker’s writings. If you’re a practitioner who needs to make sense of the attack, or other NVE attacks, I strongly recommend reading this piece. I think it’s some of Marc-André’s best work.
My latest post analyzes the Annunciation Church attack and the perpetrator’s 96-day diary that documents their evolution from ideation to operational readiness, set against an eleven-year buildup of grievance, nihilism, and shooter-fandom conditioning.

Weird Little Guys is a weekly show about the worst people you’ve never heard of, taking you beyond the headlines to get to know the race warriors and aspiring terrorists trying to unravel the fabric of our society. Weaving together the origin stories of modern American white supremacist groups and the crimes that land their members in court, independent journalist Molly Conger exposes the monsters for what they really are - some weird guy. Whether they’re conspiring to build bombs or serving swastika shaped cookies at a dinner party, the weird little guys trying to destroy America are a little less scary with their masks off.

🧵 I was a child when when David Gunn was murdered, but I remember when it happened, because we talked about it at church. In my Sunday school class for young children, the teacher told us what happened and said that murders like that actually saved lives, and he suggested that God might approve.
I did clinic defense in New Haven when I was 18 and yes, the protesters there did not physically hurt anyone those time, but when you galvanize people to get as close as possible to vulnerable people and scream “murderer and baby killer” at them, the pathway to violence is very short.
