What's the hoax? That he wasn't racist? I'm sure he knew how to manipulate the media, its not hard. Did he choose to shoot up 2 mosques as some sort of social experiment? Not sure what you are saying here.water<wine wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 6:50 pmDo you know why he did that? to help perpetuate the hoax. He had multiple trolling references in his manifesto too. including saying candace owens inspired him.

People do it in pictures too. I think they were trying to be funny. It wasn’t something racist just dumb.

Lemons and Jessilin, I want you to think about a hypothetical situation here. if 4chan trolls decided to declare the rainbow flag a symbol for white supremacy tomorrow JUST TO SEE IF YOU WOULD BE GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO ACCEPT IT, would you feed into their narrative- and hysterically accuse anyone of displaying it as being racist? empowering them and their ability to control you? or would you ignore it and continue to use it as an LGBT symbol?
No, he was racist. the hoax in his case was about controlling the narrative through disinformation, obvious trolling in order to discredit society's authority figures and make people question mainstream narratives. make them more open to accepting HIS worldview.jessilin0113 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 7:05 pmWhat's the hoax?
