Philip Bump feels called to explain (at WaPo) after a man named Mauricio Garcia killed 8 people in a shopping mall in Texas. There's reason to think that Garcia held white supremacist/neo-Nazi beliefs because he wore a patch with the letters "RWDS," which, we are told, stands for "Right Wing Death Squad."
Maybe the letters don't really mean that or maybe Garcia didn't know the meaning, and maybe Garcia was white, but the point of Bump's column is to assume, based on the name, that Garcia was non-white and that he wore the patch because he was a white supremacist and then to try to explain why.
Bump's first point is that the category "white" is "malleable" and many Hispanic people identify as white, even if they have darker skin.
Bump's second point is that "white supremacy" may be less about race than about "Western civilization." It may not seek race-based superiority but to preserve the "structures of power that largely benefit Whites."
If you don't understand why non-white people might advocate white supremacy, Bump says, it's because you are too "rigid" in your understanding of "white" and "supremacy."
ADDED: Overheard at Meadhouse:Seems we’ll be hearing all about this Texas shooter’s white supremacy ideology while the Nashville trans Christian school shooter’s manifesto needs to be kept covered up for our own goodYeah, I was just working on a blog post about that non-white white supremacist in TexasYeah, I just sent you a link about thatCool, well you know what they say — great minds think alikeYeah, so do stupid minds.I was just about to say that

This race tribalism is destroying the US and the NYT is leading the way.
If believing that Western Civilization is preferable to all others, and that it has produced the greatest amount of good for the most amount of people is White Supremacy, then guilty as charged.
Maybe they want to preserve those structures of power because those structures also benefit non whites. Certainly a lot of south Africans and Zimbabweans will tell you that things were better when the whites were in charge.
...and maybe Garcia was white...
It should be noted that the only photograph published by the media of Mauricio Garcia is a post mortem photo, with his face pixelated.
2 + 2 = 5 (for large values of two and small values of five).
Same absurd logic.
It may not seek race-based superiority but to preserve the "structures of power that largely benefit Whites."
Given that the population of the United States in largely (77%) White, why would you expect it to be otherwise and why would you want it to be otherwise?
Yeah, for sure, if you think the words mean what the words mean, you are being too "rigid."
So tiresome.
As the old man in Succession would have said, Go fuck off.
Do the government and elite institutions discriminate in favor of Whites, or in favor of non-Whites?
And yet an hour and a half drive from DC, we’ve endured a record amount of homicides in the past 18 months, all committed or alleged, by Black men. Some include non-Black victims, not in the last 18 months but Lucia Bremer was gunned by a local high school by a Black male.
I can take Mr. Bump's words and logic and make a case for evangelical white supremacy, if I were so inclined. It's not that difficult. If Mr. Bump was truly afraid of white supremacy as a majoritarian stance leading to an existential condition, he'd probably realize that as he was writing those words. I'm not getting that from him.
Guns = Nazis = White People. Got it. Murder. Death. Kill. Nuance from our legacy press. The important thing is to set the narrative early and stick to it when there is this kind of opportunity to do so. Good job. I'd ask for a treat, Mr. Bump.
For the purposes of mass murder Garcia was white.
For the purposes of the census however, he was Latino, Hispanic, We panic... Unexpected Communism.
In Bump's world, words mean exactly what he wants them to mean. At any particular moment in time. In another situation and another time, in Bump's world, those same words will mean something completely different. Bump has become the new Humpty Dumpty.
PBS(D)- White left - will be airing a "Frontline" (communist propaganda with scary deep white male voice overs) bashing and trashing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
We "know" the TX shooter's motives via a leak from one of "Comey's Homies", but we still haven't seen the manifesto of the trans Nashville shooter. Nor the motive for the Las Vegas shootings or the January 5 pipe bomber (never ID'd despite video evidence).

1. Distort the definition of "white".
2. Distort the definition of "supremacy".
3. Profit.
The same people who think that it is racist to believe Western Civilization is superior to other civilizations, are the ones who insist on getting a vaccine. Where do they think vaccines came from? African Civ? Native American Civ? Australian Aborigine Civ?
It's called the scientific method. Thank you, Western Civ. Thank you also for airplanes, air conditioning, the microwave oven, etc., etc.
Or maybe Right Wing Death Squad as a phrase needs to be contextualized. It entered the lexicon as a pejorative descriptor for right leaning South American militias fighting against populist/marxist movements or governments.
Perhaps a person with South American heritage might associate with that term for reasons that absolutely nothing to do with American racial issues ... Perhaps the confusion is not about a rigid understanding of "white" and more about the American left's decision that any group who espouses conservative views is necessarily linked to White Supremacy.
I think Western Civilization is superior to others. Count me as a white supremacist, I guess. All the people from all over the world who migrate to Western countries count as well, at least implicitly.
"Feels called to explain" is a wonderful line for this situation.
All you have to do is listen to the lying imbeciles from the News division of ABC News who spew lies, misinformation and their ignorance every single day...

Next up: "Why NYT people might describe anyone they don't like as a white supremacist."
I think the simplest explanation of all these non-White supposed "White supremacists" is that the term is misused -- that the phenomenon described is not "White supremacy" at all (at least not as ordinarily understood) but something quite different that is now being labelled (misleadingly) as "White supremacy." Maybe, as Bump suggests, it's a valorisation of Western culture and civilisation. Hispanics have at least as much claim to that heritage as descendants of the Angles and Saxons and other Germanic peoples from the barbarous periphery of Roman civilisation.
Another alternative is that journalists are conflating "White supremacy" with "anti-Black" (either "Black" as a racial category or just Black American culture). If that's the case, it shouldn't be at all surprising to find large (and increasing) numbers of non-White "White supremacists."
"Why non-White people might advocate white supremacy" says the headline, and right below that: Some young white men, and Look ! They are all wearing Trump hats.
The face of modern journalism is hate, and its message is Hate Speech.
It should be noted that the only photograph published by the media of Mauricio Garcia is a post mortem photo, with his face pixelated
A twitter video yesterday showed him without any... digital whiteout. Garcia's appearance could pass for a lily-white guy.

I am a very small portion Native American. My blonde, blue eyed daughter asked me, as she was applying to elite universities, whether she should check the box. I said no, but I can assure you that her desire was to enhance her chances, not reduce them.
I volunteer with a non-profit that assists immigrants in obtaining citizenship. The U.S. government forms require the applicants to identify their race. The Hispanic applicants almost always self identify as white.
Sorry we played this corrupt game with the Washington comPost and MSDNC news back when Travon Martin attacked Zimmerman and suddenly the very hispanic Zimmerman suddenly became "white" by journalistic fiat/fraud.

Awash in never ending BS !!!
We don't even know if the Texas shooter is a legal resident. If he isn't, I doubt we will ever hear.
There are pictures of the shooter circulating on Twitter with his SS and swastika tattoos. This guy also maintained a profile on the Russian social network OK.RU.
“A social media account that appears to belong to gunman Mauricio Garcia is filled with bigotry toward women, Jewish people, and racial minorities.
The existence of the profile, which glorifies murder and Nazis, was previously revealed by The New York Times, which reported that investigators are looking into the account. Bellingcat researcher Aric Toler identified the account on Monday, along with a corresponding YouTube account on which the shooter, Mauricio Garcia, posted his face and name. Although investigators have yet to announce a motive for the killing, the OK.ru account chronicles more than three years of an apparent fixation with Nazis.
Some of the account’s most recent posts appear to foreshadow the mass killing. On April 16, it uploaded a series of pictures outside the Allen Outlet Mall’s H&M entrance, where Garcia would later open fire. It also shared screenshots of a page indicating the mall’s busiest hours. In late April, the account shared pictures of body armor laden with magazines for a rifle. The bulletproof vest had a patch reading “RWDS,” an acronym for “right wing death squad.” Law enforcement had previously referenced the patch when identifying Garcia as a potential politically motivated extremist. The following day, the account posted pictures of a torso (presumably Garcia’s own) tattooed with a swastika and Nazi SS bolts, alongside a caption railing against “diversity.”“
A mexican woman at a place I worked at wore cheap t-shirts. One of them said, "Rack those balls" or something to that effect. It was a bowling t-shirt.
She had no idea what it meant until we told her.
She never wore that shirt again.
This guy contained multitudes. A Latino, neo nazi, antisemitic, racist, incel.
“The alleged perpetrator’s social media account on OK.RU serves an online diary replete with white supremacist and violent misogynistic rhetoric,” says Jon Lewis, Research fellow with the Program on Extremism at George Washington University. ” “The individual’s anger towards minorities and women serve as key themes which are evident throughout his posts. The profile also acts as a visual reference for his actions, including posts which serve as tactical planning for the attack.”
The Democrats' demand for White Supremacists is so great that the DNC-MSM is creating Brown White Supremacists.
"Cool, well you know what they say — great minds think alike
Yeah, so do stupid minds."
All great minds resemble one another, but each stupid mind is stupid in its own way.
We get it, Bump. Anybody you and your ilk don't like are "white" by definition.
Could RWDS mean the opposite of what the NYT thinks, i.e. kill RW'ers.

You're welcome.
"If believing that Western Civilization is preferable to all others, and that it has produced the greatest amount of good for the most amount of people is White Supremacy, then guilty as charged."
Second. Anytime anyone touts the supremacy of anything other than Western Civ, I say, "Sure, but you'd be domestic farm animal living in a mud hut."
Ironically, sufferance for the delusions of the Left is provided by Western Civ.
“ On Sunday, The Washington Post reported that, among other possible motivations, authorities were examining whether Garcia was motivated by white-supremacist or neo-Nazi beliefs. Social media posts linked to Garcia reinforce this idea.”
They want the shooter to be a White Supremest so badly. But if they had evidence, they would disclose it. They haven’t. Instead, they seem to have erased has social history, and amazingly, removed the one picture they have of the guy (dead). But that seems to happen whenever the Narrative differs from reality, esp when we have these mass shootings of Whites in gun free zones. There are allegations that the shooter is, again, transsexual. Can’t have a narrative of leftist trans activists engaging in mass shooting.
So, yes, this is propaganda. It’s the WaPo - what do you expect?
During the California gubernatorial recall election, Larry Elder, a black man raised by a father who'd grown up in Jim Crow Georgia, was leading all the challengers to replace Newsom.
The LA Times couldn't abide this--a black man espousing conservative/libertarian views that appealed to millions--so they named him "the black face of white supremacy."
And with that, they jumped the sharnado for all off the news media who are intent on purveying this narrative in one form or another.
Rabid diversity [dogma] (i.e. color judgment, class-based bigotry). #HateTrumpsLove
That said, diversity of individuals, minority of one. #HateLovesAbortion
I have a couple theories on this guy, beyond him being a Mexican nazi.
1) Incel. Incels might revert to being "nazis" or whatever in a way to "reverse peacock" and explain why they can't get a female. "They'd like me but i'm too hardcore for them" - also its provides a theoretical in group for loners, or make someone feel stronger than they do by being "master race"
2) Attention. So you're gonna committ a massacre to get media attention, but how can make sure they pay attention? The Trans shooter had a whole manifesto that we can't see. But you know a few nazi things and BOY THE MEDIA WILL HIGHLIGHT MY STORY NOW.
3) He could just be a Neo-Nazi, but we should note his target: a mall. He killed...white people. So, I think the motivation was not political. If it was, hitting a synagogue or black church would have made more sense.
CRazy people sometimes latch onto a rationale for their planned attacked - Giffords' shooter had an elaborate fixation on grammar. But ready to install Nazi, Anarchist, or Islamic Fundamentalist might be tempting, too.
Have a look at a road map of the Congo in the 1950s. Have a look at today’s infrastructure. The jungle is a harsher master than Leopoldo. Much.
He's probably thinking of the Zulu, who were competitors with Mandela's Xhosa, and the native South Africans were collateral damage.
Do the government and elite institutions discriminate in favor of Whites, or in favor of non-Whites?
Left-wing whites? Democrat whites? Dezi whites? Blacks who identify as white?... peach, really.
The Nazis aborted diverse white... peach people, too. By today's diversity dogma, Jews are people of white (PoW)... peach (PoP).
That said, the ancient regime of albinophobia (i.e. fear, hate of white people... persons) is celebrated with pride in parades.

David Bernstein's "Classified" analyzes the way the US handles racial and ethnic classification. Depends on history and historical accidents, not logic.
There are no white supremacists. East Asians are smarter, for one thing. Only one of the many categories involves malevolence, in addition.
But for a spectrum of stuff white supremacist is supposed to mean see a short paragraph by John Derbyshire, in response to McWhorter.
"If believing that Western Civilization is preferable to all others, and that it has produced the greatest amount of good for the most amount of people is White Supremacy, then guilty as charged."
That's the Goldilocks theory, if attributed to whiteness. see Derbyshire.
If it's just that Western values are found to be the ones that contribute to success, that's just history. Those values made slavery obsolete. A slave in the free market contributes more to society working in his own interest than for a master.
Given the ethnicity of the shooter, even if we accept that RWDS in this case stands for "Right Wing Death Squad", then it probably refers to anti-communist organizations, not pro-white.
But, Bump is probably too fucking stupid to know this.
People like Bump think of "white supremacy" as a kind of stand-in for western civilization. Normal people think of "white supremacy" as meaning white losers, coping with being losers by imagining that they are some sort of master race.
If a person has Nazi tattoos or wears patches in line with white supremacy as understood by normal people, it takes a weird leap of logic to assume that someone in this garb has much understanding about the principles of western civilization, let-alone any affinity towards it.
To put it more clearly, Bump's version of white supremacy was rejected by actual Nazis, so why would neo-Nazis be fans?
The guy was fucking nuts like the Nashville shooter and all these mass shooters.
The Army threw this guy out in 2008 because he was fucking nuts.
This is not complicated. A certain percentage of crazy people are violent.
One of my tenants was a "White Supremacist" and, apparently, he hated me because of "crypto Judaism" and something about sinister "Marranos" (even though I'm not Jewish or Spanish or Portuguese.) But he was definitely not White or, at least, 100% European. And I always thought he was Mexican or something.
FYI, there are tons of "white separatist" Jews out there as well.
Anyways, the notion that only "White" people can be racist is a powerful form of self-deception. This notion allows liberals to valorize their own racism (i.e., affirmative action).
The guy was trans-racial. He was a white supremest pretending to be a Mexican.
No, really!! I heard it on the evening TV news!!
Funny how the Nashville shooter was white, yet the FBI says no motive is yet known and nobody is trial ballooning that she was a white supremacist.
Also funny, I'm amazed how much these people worried about the rise of white supremacy know about white supremacy. If you asked me what RWDS meant, I never would have known. I'll probably forget in a day or two. All the other points highlighted by Althouse seem oblivious to me in my daily observations.
Are WaPo et al the publishers of a genocidal ideology?
This notion allows liberals to valorize their own racism (i.e., affirmative action).
There is a not so fine line separating affirmative action (e.g. advice, mentoring, charity) and affirmative discrimination (e.g. DEI, political congruence, social justice, redistributive change, ethnic Springs, human rites).
The local news had all the details of his family, probably illegal parents, and his ethnicity.
By the time it went through the Times truth-grinder, all that had been disappeared.
Ditto the much-arrested,much released, serial felon, definitely illegal immigrant guy who killed eight and brutally injured many others by ploughing his car through a group of Salvadoran border crossers right after that. But that story has no blame whitey nuance, so it has been downgraded.
This is sick reporting. And sick courts, sick federal rules about releasing these people to prey on anyone.
Identity politics are killing people. Texas, NYC. Toxic journalism.
Anyone remember when a video went viral of black councilwoman (I think … can’t remember exactly but she was a person of some status) was stopped by a Hispanic cop and she ended her belligerent rant with, “You’ll never be white, Sonny”? It was a revealing moment for me. The cop, btw, was incredibly polite throughout. He gave absolutely no reason for anyone to think he was self-loathing. But the woman? Different story.
Interesting that a 'white supremacist' went out and shot up a bunch of ....... white people.
I am glad we got that straightened out. I was concerned that the WaPoo had published the ravings of an anti-racist racist, but it just the ravings of Philip Bump.
AI could replace him any day.
The fact is it's all bullshit fed to you by the most notorious scandal still sheet in publication. "Limousine Liberals" explaining the streets to suburban wommin. Harlequin Headlines.
They got the inside story on "white supremacy" how? Ask them who exactly is QAnon?
"A mexican woman at a place I worked at wore cheap t-shirts. One of them said, "Rack those balls" or something to that effect. It was a bowling t-shirt.
She had no idea what it meant until we told her."
I had many years of traveling to Mexico for mining and manufacturing work. I once saw a person with a Wisconsin Devil's Head Ski Area t shirt. I commented about it and he did not understand. The Superintendent said that they buy bales of overprint t shirts from the US to give to their employees. It kind of made me cry.
Not sure if authentic, but I have seen a bunch of photos on twitter, purportedly of the shooter . . . and it looks like he's covered in swastika tattoos and other Nazi symbols, parading with mashups of the Mexican and Third Reich flags, etc. Might not actually be the same person -- the face looks darker-skinned and rounder in these photos than in the pictures of the shooter I've seen on news articles. But while "White supremacist" might be a misnomer, looks like he probably was, in fact, a Nazi.
Nazis are the example we know, but all ideologies that want to rule the earth are using an eliminationalist idea. Get rid of others. Then they have no power and you can easily steal their property. If they protest, then kill them. Malthus was a pioneer.
Every ruling class pushes it. The American blue collar class are today’s bourgeoisie. And DJT is on their side. He fights.
Sure learning about this malevolent moron pretty damn skippy!
Now let’s see the Nashville Manifesto.
It is interesting sociology that we claim to have a protected minority group that was, of course abused by white people, yet admiring whites and claiming them superior.
I am reminded of Well's "Island of Dr. Moreau", where the creatures try to follow the Law, and paraphrase as:
White does not murder white! Are we not white!
White does not rape White! Are we not White!
White does not steal and loot! Are we not White!
Is this how they want us to look at minorities? Trying to be as good as Whites? Non Whites trying to be White supremacists? How sick is the media.
In California the Spanish priests enslaved the Indians, so Hispanics were racist oppressors.
In Spain the Hispanics killed the Jews and Moslems.
"White Supremacy" refers to the view, common among Europeans and Americans at least until the end of the 19th century, that white people could and should rule over the other races. This isn't difficult to understand. The people who colonized the Americas, Africa, Australia, India and SouthEast Asia obviously felt that doing so was OK. But while a great many people feel a certain nostalgia for that era, I don't think there is any very serious desire to recolonize the shithole nations. It didn't work out very well, at least not for white people. The White Man's Burden was way too heavy.
White people really need to embrace their supremacy and start banding together as a tribe. Look what a 10% black voting block has done.
Interesting questions being asked re: the not-white-"white supremacist":
- Why was the shooter misidentified several times?
- The shooter wasn't white.
- How were his neo-Nazi affiliations discovered?
- There was speculation about whether the visible tattoo on the (confirmed) shooter's hand was a gang tattoo, based on the practices of the prison gang Tango Blast, whose members have tats of the cities they're from.
- The alleged shooter's Nazi tattoos are fresh
- The alleged shooter's account on OK dot RU was made a few months ago, it had zero interactions
- The photos of his body with Nazi tattoos are all headless
- The person who discovered the OK dot RU profile is a Bellingcat researcher, a NAFO member, and the same guy who discovered the Discord leaks of the top secret Pentagon files.
- The alleged shooter's profile praised the transgender terrorist in Nashville
- The shooter posted Tim Pool's content on his profile, with zero interactions. They're currently being highlighted by the researcher and others.
I wonder if we have another Vegas shooter-type scenario here?

I think the most important point of articles like these is how they move the effort to corrupt the language forward.
But Althouse, do you really feel that Phil Bump's vapidities require explication? Look, he's a stupid asshole who gets paid to write. He spends half or more of his time trying to think of something to write about. Anything will do. The poor bastard can't see a new billboard on the way to work without asking himself how he can use it in a "story". So when he gets halfway into a piece and realizes it makes no sense at all, he is overcome by a mounting sense of desperation, like a junkie who has blown his last hundred bucks on what turned out to be powdered milk. He has twaddled away the whole morning to produce a useless piece of shit, and the paper is hungry. He has to find some way to clap a couple slices of bread on this turd, and serve it up in the WaPo. But that doesn't mean you need to peel the bread off and try to find some meat. What Bump produces is not Bologna.

Mexicans are very racist, especially toward the cholos and indios in the south. Only the light skinned can be stars in Mexican movies or on TV.
I thought everyone knew that.
The whiteness has always been a convenient marker for the IQ in white brains. And the good news about interracial procreation is that the best children have black bodies with white brains. ( See, Seth Curry play tonight).But tribal cultures resist this method improvement and want to exterminate the others.
Interestingly, that rule means a black body with a Hebrew brain would be the best of the best.
And then along came the Asians. Gotta love Japanese and whites offspring. And what about the multitudes of descendants of Genghiss Khan.
It's much easier to pin a label on a lunatic than it is to accept they're insane.

Who has the resources to make such a thing to poof (well, almost poof) in less than 24 hours?
The shooter was mentally ill. He was discharged from the army probably for that. His social media as reported by CNN includes:
"In a rambling post from the day of the shooting – the account’s final correspondence – Garcia quoted from South Park and other movies and TV shows, and alluded to his struggles with undisclosed personal problems.
“Even if I did go to a psychologist,” the post read, “Their (sic) not going to be able to fix with whatevers wrong with me. Besides that shit's expensive.”"
The flexibility of left wing thought is a wonder. Leftists can argue and prove anything when the need arises. Rousseau pioneered the method and it has been taken up and refined ever since.

Something stinks about all of this. The idea that almost no one has wondered why this story is so fractured is bothersome.
Nice summary here by Greg Price:
"You're telling [me] a Mexican guy just happened to have Nazi tattoos and by total coincidence posted about Nazis, along with prominent conservatives, on a Russian social media account with zero followers and this discovery was made by a guy who works for an org bankrolled by the CIA?"
I think our compromised dem-aligned "intelligence" services are just phoning it in now.
Pretty sure I saw a pic on Twitter of this dude which wasn't pixelated.
He wasn't white.
And you could see why Twitter2 would be the few places you would have seen it.
If we as a country could get democrats to quit murdering democrats, the gun violence would be reduced by 90%.
Does anyone here know there is a RWDS Inc.? And a R.W.D.S. music? R.W.D.S. by OBNX? Or RWDS stands for Ron Wells Dan Silk?
Now as for this nutjob and Neo-Nazis... Nazis are Aryans... they hate Mexicans, blacks, and other races... duh. So somehow this Mexican became a Nazi?
Meanwhile do you know this nutjob who shot up the mall was in the U.S. Army for 3 months and then 'terminated'... Army says they will not say if he had a dishonorable discharge.
If it was dishonorable HE COULD NOT OWN GUNS... if, and I say if, the Army failed to put the info into the NCIS...
See a few years ago a nutjob killed a bunch of people at a church in Texas and the U.S.
Airforce didn't put his Bad conduct discharge and domestic violence info into the NCIS..
Hence he bought his guns legally!!!
Did the Army do the same screwup?
Balfegeor puts a key point at the end of his comment: what the mass media is dishonestly calling "white supremacy" is--if it is anything ideological at all and not just the random actions of crazy violent people--is really widespread "anti blackness."
There are substantial fractions of Latinos and Asians who pretty openly express that they hate African Americans and think most white Americans are either cowards for not saying what they assume most whites feel, or idiots for not actually despising black people.
The 2020 riots only exacerbated these tensions within the slowly dissolving racial/ethnic coalition that has to this point been essential for Democratic Party power. The "white supremacy" narrative is a desperate attempt to keep Latinos and Asians inside the fold (and to continue to accept being subordinate to African Americans). The results of our current experiment in law non-enforcement, however, make the white supremacy narrative a tougher sell with every day that goes by, which is probably why big, dramatic incidents are required.
At some point, you gotta stop listening, believing the media.
I'll predict a future in which TV talking heads are nothing more than beautiful graphics with an AI voice!!
Hey!! Consider the cost savings!!!
The Red Headed Libertarian chimes in:
"So that I’m clear on this, a Jewish lady and a milquetoast fence sitter radicalized a Mexican neo nazi from a Russian website into slaughtering white Texans according to the CIA operative who broke the story."
It sure seems awfully convenient and tidy....as we witness the parallel continued purposeful blackout on the radical trabs mass murderers manifestos and other writings.
Its almost like there is some sort of plan afoot....
Y'all seen the pics that are ostensibly his tattoos? I'm not saying the guy wasn't unhinged, but it seems kind of silly to argue that he wasn't steeped in racism and hatred if he was indeed rocking a swastika and ss bolts.
but it seems kind of silly to argue that he wasn't steeped in racism and hatred if he was indeed rocking a swastika and ss bolts
A National Socialist. Yes, steeped in diversity [dogma] (i.e. color judgment, class-based bigotry). A person may even advocate for diversity to get a paying gig for the regime at WaPo etc. They may even be an advocate for the wicked solution (e.g. abortion), clinical experiments with underage subjects, etc. The Nazis also accused the Jews of having privilege, of possessing excess capital, racism (or ethnocentrism), etc. Today, some even classify Jews as "white", Hispanics, too.
According to "Susan Benesch, the executive director of the Dangerous Speech Project", genocidal leaders often use fear of a looming threat [e.g. "white supremacy"]...
and treat people in color blocs (e.g. "people of color", "fetus", Jude) in order to socially distance them from the population.
Doug.
As regards the Sutherland Springs shooter, you're right. Seems, according to a DoD spox, they're hundreds of names behind in getting such losers into the no-gun data base.
I think the survivors and next of kin are suing for big bucks.
Sort of like the female gymnasts Wray & Co. told to pound sand.

Malleable. What a sad word it is in this instance.

Much like the "51 past intel officials" never made factual claim. Never looked at any evidence, did not see any content...all 51 reached exactly the same statement."we have no evidence, but this looks like that....but they never 'looked'.
We have access to the social media accounts fed to us by the Govt. NOT all that exist.
The media is doing their job, by not running down any leads to all the people this perp knows.
The govt propaganda Dept is finally get its legs under it and getting their story out first, and hiding conflicting facts. After 4 trans mass shooters, in five years, the govt needed this win.
Diversity [dogma] (e.g. racism, sexism, ageism, classicism) progresses with leverage of fear (e.g. allegations of color supremacy), envy (e.g. promises of redistributive change), hate (e.g. albinophobia), relief (e.g. "burden"), and catastrophe (e.g. "climate change").
It's a fair point that we don't know enough about the Tennessee shooter's motivations. It should be said, however, that what we know about the Allen shooter has mostly been dug up online and not released by law enforcement (they have also found pictures of him with swastika tattoos, which seems to make the white supremacy question less ambiguous).
Ironically, sufferance for the delusions of the Left is provided by Western Civ.
And, as far as I'm aware, by no other system.
Crack! It's good to see you back here!
I don't recall who made the comment, but someone up thread mentioned how in our current public milieu only white people can be racist although we all know that there are other ethnicities that are commonly and virulently racist.
The answer usually provided is that "racism" is not just animus toward other "races." It must include (because of Critical Theory) an element of power. So you can only be racist if you're in the class - er, I mean race - that holds the power.
So it's vitally important right now to "prove" the existence of inherent bias and systemic racism. Because if these things don't exist, it becomes (I should say, it is increasingly becoming) way too hard to make the claim that society's power is in the hands of white people. And if it becomes undeniable that white people don't hold the reins and wield the lash in our society, what happens to racism, or accusations thereof, as a driver, particularly of votes?
So yeah, non-white people like Larry Elder can be white supremacist but only white people can be racist.
The left uses "white supremacy " because it would be unpopular to use the term "civilization ", which they are against. It's Tribalism forever for that group of overeducated idiots.

"Another alternative is that journalists are conflating 'White supremacy' with 'anti-Black' (either 'Black' as a racial category or just Black American culture). If that's the case, it shouldn't be at all surprising to find large (and increasing) numbers of non-White 'White supremacists.'"
It's been said for some time that if a "hot" race war comes to the US, it will not be white vs black; it will be mestizos vs blacks.
And the part I've bolded is significant, too. A lot recent black/mulatto immigrants from the Carribean/Africa have contempt for "Ghetto Culture".

Phantomut,
I found that as well. I bet we would find, if we are ever allowed to, that Garcia was playing that online game.
"If we as a country could get democrats to quit murdering democrats, the gun violence would be reduced by 90%."
Hmmm. Frankly, democrats murdering democrats is fine by me. It's that other 10% I'm worried about. Plus, Democrats can't aim very well.
I’m so glad we have Inga here to scour the bowels of the DNC-Media Twitterverse to repeat unfounded rumors that the EU-funded “journalist” posted (along with the caveat he had not “verified the ‘facts’ yet” before he locked down his account and went silent. The photos of actual Mexican Nazis in Mexico who are NOT the shooter, as Balfegor noted yesterday, does nothing to add to the story but does have “all the classic earmarks” of a CIA propaganda operation. Reader be wary.
Funny how the social media platforms all obediently scrubbed the Nashville murderer’s digital trail but left seeming clues to the TX killer. Equally puzzling is why a Hitler lover would ONLY shoot white and white hispanics at a mall in the black part of Allen. The ly just don’t make racists like they used to.

This is the scary part. Someone is ready to go, and swings into action on a moments notice, to cleanse social media before anyone on the right can get at it. They are getting better and better at this spin/narrative projection and inconvenient fact suppression. Because I am suspicious and cynical, I assume these days that if social media and photos disappear very quickly after a shooting incident, that there is a reason the left doesn’t like the facts, and wants them suppressed in order to advance their narrative.
What are these "structures of power that largely benefit whites?"
Why leftists might want to ask this question: "Why non-White people might advocate white supremacy."
Because the political "market" on the left for more "white supremacy" incidents is vastly larger than the supply, so its time to expand those definitions and categories to get the numbers needed!
Thus far I'm only surprised that the feds haven't claimed the shooter yelled "This is MAGA country!", or alternatively "Esta Tierra es MAGA!"
But the day is still young and the feds and media have lots of free bodies floating around to generate just these kind of dem-aligned talking points, so we'll see how it goes.
NAZIs were a thing in Mexico, Central and South America during (and after) WWII. Franco was supported by the NAZIs.
Whenever I want to know what's behind America's disturbing trends and mass shootings, I always reach for Rolling Stone.
It's my view that people that festoon themselves in nasty tattoos and in particular, facial tattoos, are exhibiting anti-social tendencies, a warning sign to civil society. It's a manifestation of their mental make-up, not necessarily an ideological statement. These are people who are capable of killing indiscriminately.
Franco was supported by the NAZIs.
Franco was a fascist, and ruled Spain until 1979.
these leftists want to blame everything on "White supremacy" or racism or sexism or transphobia or some other stupid made up nonsense and when there is a big bright shiny example of why that's just stupid, made up nonsense, they make up some more stupid nonsense, pretend words have different meanings that commonly understood, and voila! they're magically correct again. Rinse, repeat. These people have small intellects and the only ones they fool are stupider than them. It's Calvin Ball.
