El Paso Was The Latest Target Of A Deadly, Global White Supremacist Movement

The shooter may have acted alone, but he is part of a network that stretches from Christchurch to Charlottesville.

Authorities say the shooter who killed 22 people and wounded dozens of others in El Paso, Texas, Saturday acted alone. In a narrow sense that may be true, but experts warn that it’s important to recognize his actions were rooted in a wider movement of white nationalism and violent extremism that is behind a growing number of mass murders.

In Christchurch, Munich, Quebec City, Birstall, Pittsburgh, Charlottesville, Oslo and other cities around the world, white supremacists have killed innocent people in calculated acts of hate. Lawmakers and the media often describe these killers as “lone wolves,” who radicalized in isolation and whose actions were a unique aberration. But each found homes in a sprawling online network of racist propaganda, where fellow extremists offered them a sense of community and purpose. Each attack directly informs and encourages others, creating a decentralized network of violent white supremacists who share similar goals.

“These attacks are symptomatic of basically a very powerful global movement that is just not adequately captured by describing these perpetrators as lone wolf actors,” said Vidhya Ramalingam, founder of Moonshot CVE, which develops counter-extremism programs and software. “Even to consider them simply domestic terror threats would be an underestimation.”

The first sentence of the El Paso shooter’s alleged manifesto proclaimed support for the killer in Christchurch, New Zealand, who killed 51 people in two mosques earlier this year. The Christchurch attack also inspired the anti-Semitic Poway synagogue shooting in California in April. Before their attacks, all three gunmen posted to the hate-filled message board 8chan, where a cheering audience of supporters lauded and critiqued the murders.

But the threads connecting white supremacist attacks stretch past this year’s massacres and predate the online platforms that have accelerated the spread of their ideology. The Christchurch shooter cited Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik as inspiration. Breivik, who killed dozens of children at a youth summer camp and bombed the capital of Norway in 2011, found his own inspiration in part on the now-defunct American white supremacist site Stormfront, which was founded by a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

The white supremacist movement has for decades encouraged lone attackers as part of a “leaderless resistance” strategy, Ramalingam said, in which extremists operate independently to commit violence and are in turn celebrated and copied by other killers. The result is that rather than a visible terror cell or gang, would-be perpetrators form an amorphous mass that is harder for law enforcement to target.

“It’s not an approach that’s entirely dissimilar from some of the tactics that were adopted by ISIS and other groups,” Ramalingam said.

In ISIS, however, there was a more centralized leadership structure and a common procedure for promoting attacks. An ISIS supporter may never have met with any of the group’s leaders, but they usually made it clear they were acting on behalf of the group.

Some of you tend to forget this shooting spree shit started in Columbine high school. {Colorado}
Bill Clinton was in office. Not Trump.
One other thing I don't understand is why you think this is all Trumps fault.

RM - respectfully - They (DPST's) well and truly know these shootings are not caused by Trump.
It is just a narrative of accusation they try to repeat over and over again until some foolish individuals believe their lies.

DPST's will say anything to further their narrative.

And have done so in this forum - all kinds of crazy accusations, including of forbidden subjects.
They got no credibility.

Tactics are outlined by the leader of the 1930's National Sociaists including of forbidden subjects. also in writings of Marx, Lenin, Mao, and by Stalin's example of leadership.
