Weirdly, the NY Times itself barely mentions the shooting in Laguna Woods, California, where a Chinese man intentionally attempted to kill lots of Taiwanese. It’s all back page news to the Times. They do know that the Buffalo shooting is all your fault
The Buffalo Shooting Was Not a Random Act of Violence
Republican politicians, including some of the party’s top leaders, openly espouse versions of a white supremacist conspiracy theory holding that an orchestrated effort is underway to displace white Americans. A recently published poll found that almost half of Republicans believe that immigrants are being brought to the United States as part of such an effort.
On Saturday, a gunman who said he was motivated by a version of this “replacement theory” killed 10 people at a Buffalo grocery store, officials said. The suspect, identified as Payton S. Gendron, wrote in an online diatribe that he sought to kill Black people because he wanted to prevent white people from losing their rightful control of the country.
He also wrote extensively about hating Jews. And that he hated the Republican party, Democrat Party, liberals, and conservatives. That he grew up loving Communism, and you can call him a National Socialist.
Mr. Gendron described himself as part of a movement. He said that he was inspired by similar attacks on other minority communities and that he hoped others would follow his example. The suspects in several mass killings in recent years, including the 2015 murder of nine Black worshipers at a church in Charleston, S.C.; the 2018 murder of 11 Jewish worshipers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh; the 2019 murder of 51 Muslim worshipers at a pair of mosques in New Zealand; and the 2019 murder of 23 people, many Latino, in El Paso also propounded versions of this racist worldview.
Well, yeah, he was a nutjob hater. Replacement theory is more about Latinos than blacks. The black population isn’t really growing, because so many black children are aborted, which is what Democrats want.
Replacement theory is an attack on democracy. It privileges the purported interests of some Americans over those of others, asserting, in effect, that the will of the people means the will of white people. It rekindles fears and resentments among white Americans that cynical practitioners of American politics have stoked throughout the nation’s history. It also provides a disturbing rationalization for people inclined to resort to violence when the political process does not deliver what they want or protect what they see as their place in society.
We don’t have a democracy. Also, how many times have we seen Democrats resort to violence when they do not get what they want? We all witnessed the BLM/Antifa riots. How often have we seen whites demonized and denigrated by the media and BLM?
Right-wing rhetoricians in the United States portray undocumented immigrants as the primary threat. This sanitizes replacement theory for mainstream consumption without diluting its logic. The same argument is easily applied to other minority groups.
See? All your fault. And the NY Times editorial board makes the illogical jump to blacks. And, again, forgets to mention Gendron’s hatred for Jews. Anyhow, more blah blah blah, blaming Republicans. This is why it’s almost impossible to have a discussion or debate with Democrats anymore. Heck, even having a full blown argument, because Democrats take things so beyond the norm, they’re at Category 6 hurricane, that it’s impossible these days. They’re specifically saying that Republicans aren’t opponents, they’re enemies.
