A man who admits he ran down a Muslim family said he did so because he believed anti-Muslim conspiracies he found on fringe websites like Alex Jones’ Infowars.

    I’m really interested why Lemmy says there are -6 new messages? That many deleted comments or what?

    As for the story, it turns out water is wet. Not really a surprise.

      At the moment, lemmy is not great with comment integrity. If somebody deletes a comment (mod or the user themselves), the entire chain basically gets nuked.

      So it looks like a conservative got embarrassed that they were supporting a white supremacist killer, and deleted their comments. Or maybe they got banned.

        I’m new here- so this place is kind of like Reddit except less tolerant of political dissent? Do you have to be Democrat for Lemmy? I don’t understand.

          No one seems to care when Christians or Jews are killed

          What suggests to you that this is the case?

          If it’s the manifesto release, i don’t see how that equates to attention on the subject. Various PDs are going to have different policies on the release of information.

          And if it’s the media coverage, there was a shit load of coverage of Audrey Hale, so I don’t see why you’re making a complaint over lack of attention.

                  Anything to avoid saying “Transgender Extremist Murders Christian Children”, which is what happened, end of story.

                  Wording it like that is itself agenda driven. You don’t want accuracy, you just want the headlines to fit a specific agenda, one that derides trans people and plays towards the christian persecution fetish.

                  There is a clear agenda from the media to demonize white straight men and elevate everybody else, regardless how heinous their actions

                  There is no such agenda. Most shooters are white men, so most coverage is of white men.

      Just because you aren’t gullible enough to be easily radicalized doesn’t mean the same applies to others.
