Some cunt in work (a massive Trump supporter) sent me a What's App of the stream from the shooting to my work phone.

Should I report him?

I certainly think you should flag your concerns with your line-manager, asking them if they'd find a written statement helpful.

Wasn't his stated goal to cause division?

I would not be at all surprised if this event triggers lone-wolf muslim attacks in western countries...

As for the Australian politician, Fraser Anning, he is an utter cunt - always has been, always will be...

Reported by Kotaku, Valve has cracked down on over 100 Steam profiles that have been memorializing the suspected shooter following the attack. These tributes often incorporated his alleged name into their profiles, and uploaded user images of the suspected shooter as well as screenshots from a Facebook livestream of the shooting. Other tributes referred to the suspected shooter as a saint or hero, or used derogatory language in reference to his victims.

As of writing, there are still profiles up and running with such tributes, but Valve appears to be quick in taking them down. IGN has reached out to Valve for comment.

I said to Bron this morning that I'm sure there will be celebratory posts in some of the right-wing media sites.

I don't know anything about it yet, except that, since it is horrible, it will be used by people to promote their political causes.

Just so happens that The Atlantic has an in-depth examination of some of the history behind the American nurturing of xenophobia and its influence as a recurring theme in contemporary life.

The 'invasion' of the US by asylum seekers is declared a national emergency. Murderous white supremacist idolizes Blackshirt Mosley, who ranted on essentially the same theme. Vapid concern trolling aside, suppressing the rise of racist fascism is a worthy political cause.

'White Nationalism’s Deep American Roots'
Americans want to believe that the surge in white-supremacist violence and recruitment—the march in Charlottesville, Virginia, where neo-Nazis chanted “Jews will not replace us”; the hate crimes whose perpetrators invoke the president’s name as a battle cry—has no roots in U.S. soil, that it is racist zealotry with a foreign pedigree and marginal allure.

Warnings from conservative pundits on Fox News about the existential threat facing a country overrun by immigrants meet with a similar response. “Massive demographic changes,” Laura Ingraham has proclaimed, mean that “the America we know and love doesn’t exist anymore” in much of the country: Surely this kind of rhetoric reflects mere ignorance. Or it’s just a symptom of partisan anxiety about what those changes may portend for Republicans’ electoral prospects. As for the views and utterances of someone like Congressman Steve King (“We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies”), such sentiments are treated as outlandish extremism, best ignored as much as possible.

The concept of “white genocide”—extinction under an onslaught of genetically or culturally inferior nonwhite interlopers—may indeed seem like a fringe conspiracy theory with an alien lineage, the province of neo-Nazis and their fellow travelers. In popular memory, it’s a vestige of a racist ideology that the Greatest Generation did its best to scour from the Earth. History, though, tells a different story. King’s recent question, posed in a New York Times interview, may be appalling: “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become offensive?” But it is apt. “That language” has an American past in need of excavation. Without such an effort, we may fail to appreciate the tenacity of the dogma it expresses, and the difficulty of eradicating it. The president’s rhetoric about “shithole countries” and “invasion” by immigrants invites dismissal as crude talk, but behind it lie ideas whose power should not be underestimated.

The seed of Nazism’s ultimate objective—the preservation of a pure white race, uncontaminated by foreign blood—was in fact sown with striking success in the United States. What is judged extremist today was once the consensus of a powerful cadre of the American elite, well-connected men who eagerly seized on a false doctrine of “race suicide” during the immigration scare of the early 20th century. They included wealthy patricians, intellectuals, lawmakers, even several presidents. Perhaps the most important among them was a blue blood with a very impressive mustache, Madison Grant. He was the author of a 1916 book called The Passing of the Great Race, which spread the doctrine of race purity all over the globe.

Interesting how Erdogan uses this to rally support for himself and to strengthen the position of religious over secular ideas in Turkey.

From Brenton Tarrant's 74 page Manifesto:
To Turks. You can live in peace in your own lands, and may no harm come to you. On the east side of the Bosphorus. But if you attempt to live in European lands, anywhere west of the Bosphorus. We will kill you and drive you roaches from our lands. We are coming for Constantinople and we will destroy every mosque and minaret in the city. The Hagia Sophia will be free of minarets and Constantinople will be rightfully christian owned once more. FLEE TO YOUR OWN LANDS, WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE CHANCE.
Considering that Istanbul lies 240 kilometres east of Turkey's western border, Tarrant's diatribe is a made to order present two weeks prior to the next Turkish election. Politicians thrive on real or imagined threats to whatever nation they inhabit. Erdogan is no exception.

The desired outcome for pretty much all terrorism - create mistrust and spew division.

He has some funny double standards. He says Australia (first European settlers arrive 250 years ago) is now basically a part of Europe. But Istanbule (conquered by the Turks 600 years ago) still belongs to "Christians".🙄
