It is absolutely terrible what happened in Christchurch, New Zealand yesterday. My heart goes out to the victims of the shooting and I absolutely condemn the eco-fascist, white supremacist (and I really mean that) terrorist who shot up a mosque. If you read his manifesto, he clearly did this for one reason - to divide people. We cannot let him succeed.
To those who are pointing to the right-wing, the left-wing, memes, video games, political figures, pro-freedom of speech platforms like Gab, and creators like Pewdiepie as the sole one to blame for what occurred in New Zealand, cut it out. The evil terrorist himself is the one to blame. And by trying to put the blame on something else other than terrorist, you're only further contributing to his narrative and letting him win.
To those who are using this as a justification to censor certain innocent people who have nothing to do with Christchurch, I condemn you because doing reactionary stuff like this will not help us and make things worse in the long run.
To those using this as a justification to further restrict the 2nd Amendment rights of others, cut it out. Again, you're only contributing to what he wants to see happen and letting him succeed.
I refuse to share his manifesto or any footage. And I refuse to do so because I know that he meant for this to go viral. And by doing so, I would only give him further attention.
To conclude, we must not let what occurred in Christchurch cause division, chaos, and war like the terrorist wanted to see happen. Instead, we should unite and advocate for a world where people are not to be judged for on the basis of their skin color, culture, heritage, gender, or any other part of their identity. But rather on the basis of the color of their character and humanity.
