But you said that about posters on /pol/ which sounds like you would support 'thought police'. This has no space in free democratic countries (only in communist countries where they love to censor stuff). Also people that enjoy seeing 'innocents' (you do not know that for sure) may had bad experience, or they lost loved ones from hands of 'other side' extremists (and them enjoying it do not hurt anyone, since those people are already dead). I didn't enjoy it, but I can understand why it happen - because people love to play a devil advocate for particular group of people, and no matter what they do and how often - it will be justified or media do not even tell about what happened (like it was a case with 32 nigerian christians that have been killed recently).

He also praised communist China, that hotbed of right-wing activity.
The stated goal in his manifesto is to further divide.
Maybe he's a right-wing nutjob and some of the stuff he wrote is just a smokescreen, or maybe he's just a nutjob that wants to see the world burn and the media is falling for the low-hanging fruit bait.
I think it's prudent to wait for the dissection of his online persona to see what his motivations really are before casting around blame.
I just feel like regardless of anyone's political leanings, we should be able to recognize that certain parts of internet/gamer culture have been flirting with fascism/white nationalism for a while now, and it makes it really weird for everyone else in the community who doesn't think the ethics of murdering innocent people warrants a 78-page debate thread.
This stuff is fucking us up, just like it fucked up someone especially weak and easily-influenced like the NZ shooter. We, all of us, need to chill with some of the things we say to each other and the level of performative hostility we show to others. Shit's toxic, and it's going to really affect our ability to cope with crises in a decent and empathetic way.
Uh
1. No, I don't think any lefties wished harmed on the Convington kid
2. I do remember a bunch of right wingers ranting and raving about "bankrupting the MSM and making all the reporters and journalists homeless" though.
Maybe you'd care to link to anyone wishing harm on the dumbass kid? Saying he's an idiot and that it's a spurious lawsuit isn't wishing harm BTW. Don't be a snowflake.
You can't go about fixing a problem if you can't even address that there is a problem with right wing extremists recently. How many dead bodies will it take for you to think it's an issue? If there was a wave of vegan mass shootings I would be acknowledging them as a big problem we need to tackle right now.
Because of their practices against muslims. He is incredibly explicit in writing that he intents to promote the ethnonationalist cause.

He gives him a shoutout. He isnt mentioned in the manifesto. The dude got radicalized in far right websites.
