Racist terrorist James Jackson — who has confessed to murdering an elderly black New Yorker as a sort of test run for a more dramatic act of mass murder — in many ways seems like 4chan’s /pol/ made flesh, a deeply alienated young white man driven by racist rage and, apparently, deep fears of sexual inadequacy.
So you might have expected that his dramatic hate crime might have won him nothing but warm huzzahs from the folks in /pol/. And, in one recent /pol/ thread, he did inspire some cheers.
“[A]ny dead n*gger is a good n*gger,” wrote one anon.”The only thing James did wrong was turning himself in,” another anon opined. And still another gave the killer props for his ” fashy hair do … 10/10.”
But others were less impressed.
“He didn’t think about the long term,” one critic complained
What has he even achieved? Not even a good kill count. Just One, Old, man. Now Brevik. Brevik was an hero my lad. Imagine working all that shit out then planning it. He was not wrong either. They were indoctrinating kids
Another scoffed, “how much intellect does it take to stab a homeless black guy?”
Some wondered why Jackson had targeted black men anyway — when the real enemy, in their minds, is the (((Jew))).
“With so many scum bags in the world, why throw your life away to kill one homeless nigger,” one asked. “Guy could have at least taken out a (((wall street banker)))”
“Jews want whites to fight blacks,” wrote another.
Not Jews
The threat is from above (((wall street))) not below as Jews want whites to believe.
Naturally, this being /pol/, there were more than a few who dismissed the whole thing as part of a devious conspiracy to make white racists look bad.
“False flag,” one charged.
Dude from n*gger central Baltimore goes to New York to kill blacks, takes the life of a single homeless and then gives himself up to police. Couldn’t be more obvious.
Another saw the CIA’s fingerprints on the murder.
>decide to kill blacks to prevent racemixing
>target one 60 year old black guy
I’m sorry but that shit REEKS of a CIA plant/psyop.
A few stray souls even suggested that, as one put it, “White Supremacy is foolish nonsense” and that murder is, you know, bad.
But some thought these sorts of condemnations were self-defeating.
The right always condemns the lunatic fringe on their side like how Richard Spencer got kicked out of CPAC, but the right is always labeled as nothing but violent lunatics.
Meanwhile, the left embraces their violent lunatics and puts them on a pedestal but the same media kike puppets never call out their own side, let alone refer to the left as a bunch of violent lunatics.
The only solution?
I think the right wing needs to start embracing their violent lunatics like the left does with theirs. They have nothing to lose because they’re already labeled by the media as a bunch of violent extremists anyway, and eventually, leftist teeth are going to have to start littering the streets.
Huh. I’m pretty sure that the right has been embracing its most violent members for some time. Anders Breivik, who murdered 77 people, most of them children, had more than a few defenders in the right wing of the manosphere — not to mention the Breivik fan further upthread.
These are ugly, ugly times.
Strange… I’d always heard “an hero” as a memetic mutation for “suicide” (by way of the infamous Encyclopedia Dramatica).
So now I’m wondering if that is some unusually subtle trolling or someone who’s stupid even by /pol/ standards…
Damn, /pol/ are scumbags, aren’t they?
A few things anon got wrong, and I say “a few” with as liberal a meaning as possible. Anons think they’re master hackers and political genii but in reality are some of the dumbest, most ignorant, and most gullible people on the planet.
Isn’t it always people from right wing factions who want you to be scared of a threat from below. Republicans and right “libertarians” are fond of blaming our social ills on poor blacks, terrorists, drug users, unions, radical college students etc. Or, like Hitler did, blame the Jews. Socialists during the Weimar Republic knew the enemies were the corporations and government. But the Nazis, a party that blamed Jews, gypsies, and communists, got corporations to support them.
The right wing does everything it can to protect big capitalists and politicians. If you support things like big corporations, police brutality, and violence against nonwhites and the poor you are a mainstream stooge supporting the people in power. You are a normie and no amount of Pepe images and shitty memes will change that. Such counter culture. Much edge.
Aren’t leftists a bunch of beta pussies who lack the testosterone to use manly violence to achieve their goals? Confusing and contradicting stereotypes are confusing. And aren’t leftists struggling to figure out if throwing one little punch against a Nazi is moral? Each time a fascist madman like Brevik or Roof shoots up a place reactionaries make a celebration.
@PeeVee
They are out and about Nazis after all. Meanwhile Hiro, the new owner of 4chan after months considering to cut certain boards for sake of bandwidth, has done absolutely nothing on the matter nor has made any commentary regarding such subjects.
The right: Over a hundred people murdered in the name of white and/or male supremacist terrorism in the seven years since the birth of the alt right.
The left: One Nazi punched.
But the left is embracing violence. Yup.
@Ooglyboggles,
Yeah, he seems a little…unsavory, too. Very blasé about the harm his chans can do.
I am just mystified by the depths of scummery these…people…can fall to. I just don’t get the point, yanno?
Baltimore is the black people capital now? I thought it was Chicago or Detroit?
Is there any horrible crime that hasn’t been suspected as a false flag? Any at all?
Cultural influence of The Wire probably. Though Detroit, Chicago or Atlanta would fit a racist rant as well.
@PeeVee
Falling to the depths is the point. You build yourself vertically or horizontally. Dedicate your all to a single life goal or spread yourself among all your passions. Their only passion is hatred, they are hatred, it’s all they have. And so, they will dig themselves vertically down with gusto. Not to achieve something but as an end in itself *sigh*
Man, if only there was some sort of competent group who could track and shut down such disgusting hate speech as part of their job to make sure people stay safe within the US but I can’t think of anything off hand that can even get close to such a description.
Oh look. Again with the (((triple idiotic parentheses)))! Doesn’t this (((shit))) ever get (((OLD)))???
The FBI needs to take 4chan, /pol/, etc. more seriously. They need to track down everyone who posts there and stick them in Gitmo. Figure out if they are dangerous later on.
I’m 100% serious, by the way. Too many terrorists are being radicalized in those groups.
I dunno, Axe. I know I’m somewhat pollyanna-ish, but for the life of me, all that hate is so pointless. It contributes nothing positive or constructive to the Universe.
Is happiness such an elusive thing that they’ve substituted hatred and fear for it? Are they just bored? Is that it? I’ve had trolls tell me they’re bored, before, and that this kind of shit is their hobby. WHY??
*shakes head ruefully*
@PeeVee the (Noice) Sarcastic
Some people can only find satisfaction in hurting people who have not done anything to them and disguise it as righteous indignation. The irony is that, of course, the overwhelming majority there are Christian.
@Ooglyboggles,
And that pisses me off so much, given the absolute shit they give to Muslim and Jewish folks on a regular basis. (Not to mention other Christians.)
Jesus had a whole lot to say about yaking care of the poor, and the nature of hypocrisy. It’s as if the don’t even know the nature of the religion they’re using to hide behind, or wield as a cudgel of their own.
*taking
I have no idea where my edit button scampered off to.
@PeeVee the (Noice) Sarcastic
Now I’m picturing a yak dressed as Jesus traveling with various hooved apostles.
@PeeVee
Pointless to you, cos you are not the focus. They hate you, but only in service of that hate. Hate needs a target. Think of it like a pyromaniac. They want to build a fire and fan the flames. I don’t see the point in it, and I know it’ll destroy and kill. But they don’t care about that. They revel in the damage the fire brings, cos fuel just makes the fire, their focus, bigger. Some men just want to watch the world burn…
Sorry to be a downer, but I really don’t think there’s anything more to it than that. And even if there is a more palatable, deeper truth, the results are the same regardless
@Peevee
Yes, but the people engaging in it don’t actually care about that. Hell, they’re opposed to it; contributing something to the world takes effort, takes caring about other people, takes compromise and discussion and consensus, takes pain and blood and sweat and tears, takes a vision of what a better world might be.
Hatred is easy; it gives them everything that being worthwhile would, or at least a cheap imitation of it, but hey, at least they don’t have to work or change. It gives sense of purpose, a rush of adrenaline and endorphins when they work themselves into a lather, a sense of belonging to a welcoming group that will never judge them for anything, as long as they hate hard enough and vocally enough. That’s the reward, and as long as they’re getting that, they have no reason to stop.
Wait…..There are fascist hair styles now?
Axe and Dalillama, thanks. That explains things a bit.
I suppose it does take less effort to hate rather than to love, but I’ve never been afraid to take the road less traveled, lol.
@Anne Lewis:
And Yakity Sax can be the official Song Of The New Hooven Ministry.
@PeeVee, raging releases dopamine, so all that hate probably feels pretty good.
Yeah, they usually do shaved sizes and a sort of combed ‘do on top, in natural colors. It appears to be a trope for a while since Gary Smith from Bully has the same hairdo and he’s a personification of 4Chan in 2006. He even dresses up as a nazi during the Halloween mission to drive the point home. If they ever make Bully 2 and set it in modern time, he’d be one of these assholes on /pol/ for sure.
