fwiw, i haven't read the new zealand shooter's manifesto, and i'm not going to, and i don't care. his actual opinions about the world, whatever they are/were, don't change the content of my analysis, or my refusal to rush to the aid of a system of thought that cannot be justified for any reason or under any set of circumstances. that's my actual point, here - that i'm rejecting the mass reflex, that i'm not rallying around this.

i took the media at face value; maybe that was wrong, but it doesn't matter, and i'm not looking for nuance, here.
