Some researchers say these recent attacks are examples of "nonideological" terrorism — the result of several antisocial, decentralized, online networks coming together.

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social would be a good person to talk to to clear some of this up since. you'll find there's a pretty clear ideology for like 99% of this stuff
That's so stupid lol. I guarantee there is matching ideology there and it's some sort of diet Nazi bullshit. Did anyone actually pattern match at their job or are we all just fapping about in the Trump regime?
We keep asking WHY this happened when we should just shut the fuck up and fix how fucking easy it is to get guns and how we glorify guns in this fucking shithole.
Some men believe that they have access to the absolute objective truth about human nature and it's that everyone is sinful and must be punished to purify them and that's very very ideological.
That has got nothing to do with that I said. In fact, you're just ignoring the simple horrible truth of what I said because you want to make a point about your own political motivation.
Humans can't read minds. Telling other people what they think or why they are doing something is a cognitive distortion. Why are you so invested in pushing that their is NOT a serious Christian nazi terrorist problem in the US?
The desire to cause fear, chaos, violence, instability is all part of the “strongman” ideology, or just plain authoritarianism. Fear is the primary enforcement mechanism of authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is an ideology.
But this story here is just plain old white supremacy. Also an ideology.
Same old BS. Used to blame it on video games and Satanic cults, now it's social media. It's the guns and the open hate under tRump and MAGAts. People are becoming nastier because it's seen as OK to be hateful in public. Bullying is seen as a good thing now by these people.
Pro tip - the seven questions of journalism are used to drive research not to post questions with obvious answers on social media and definitely not to trust the reply from the entity being investigated.
The trick with doing your own research is that you actually have to do the research.
Gotcha, well the good news for you is that unlike private media outlets, NPR publishes a full list of donors each fiscal year so you can easily look up who they are, yay, transparency rocks!
i actually just spent the time since i replied to you scrolling their website and could not find a list of corporate donors. could you find it for me? i would love to see that, specifically.
a reply from the npr account would also be (more) appreciated.
But porn is the problem? Your sons are getting groomed by incels, your daughters are getting groomed by eating disorder communities and getting caught up in spaces where there’s people glorifying school shooters . Those spaces is a rabbit hole to the pipeline of alt right extremism ideologies.
For Christ sakes parents, please watch more closely what your teens are doing online instead of letting them to roam free. Those communities exploit their vulnerability and influence them. There are signs if they’re in those spaces.
When Columbine happened back in 1999, it became a legend of people striking back against bullies and an ostracizing community. While this has been debated, the whole topic was spoiled by Anders Breivik in Norway, who brought vague far-right ideology into it. 1/3 ➡️
After came Dylann Roof, Brenton Tarrant, combining shooting sprees with classic far-right hate crimes. This is opposite to views of shooters acting formally illegal, but morally good, by targeting bullies and other predatory people, bringing justice were law and police are unable or unwilling. 2/3 ➡️
The last act that might have brought back the "morally good" vigilante, might have been Luigi Mangione's shooting, in reply to predatory insurance businesses. One may view such acts not just as crimes, which they formally are, but necessary corrections of wrongs in society. 3/3 🔚
Seems the smartest thing to do is decrease mental healthcare options; make the options that do exist more unobtainable while making guns more obtainable
The article isn't super clear, but it seems to say that he was being influenced by networks with neo-Nazis in them. So maybe Henderson didn't have a racist ideology, but the monsters who egged him toward murder certainly did.
You can be certain some black people buy into white supremacist, racist ideology. Maybe to be accepted by the "superior race", maybe to believe themselves superior to other non-white, but they do exist.
Who was extremely racist, sexist and antiblack and was radicalized in the same spaces as these little white thugs. Non white ppl are just as susceptible to antiblack racism as anyone else
you end up saying antisocial - decentralized - online networks. yet the best place right now are those networks. don't make me shove my fucking foot up your fucking ass.
don't get on the wrong side of people and delete the post and article. all of it sounds AI and i wouldn't be even surprised.
With this attack in Wisconsin, we still are left not knowing who purchased these guns for this child to come in and shoot up the school. Where is the accountability?
“This is sort of the next chapter of what we could call 'far-right violence' looks like at this stage or what terrorism looks like," this is a direct quote from your article.
This headline is completely dishonest and caters to the very same far-right that is to blame for this.
Please NPR, DO NOT dilute the definition of terrorism or even play with humoring the idea of "nonideological" terrorism.
Diluted public perception of what it covers will only allow the gov to label minority groups (Ethnic, LGTBQ+) as terrorists and get away with violating their rights.
Terrorism is by definition ideological. You are using fear to change policy or cause a shift in it.
Now, you got a fun little issue where politicians are turning mass shootings into ideology which is different entirely, for instance using a bullied teen mass shooter's trans ID for political points
Just a question, you know, like journalism, a follow up; how many of these non-political shooters have been A. White and B. from "Christian" families? Comparatively, surely we've done a breakdown?
It’s a far right white supremacist ideology and you are complicit in its extension by writing and posting articles like this. Maybe you do need to shut down, we don’t need more propaganda
I don’t know. I’m not a statistician, but I don’t think you need to be one to see that since over 5% of U.S. schools are Christian, they were bound to be affected by this problem.
Researcher, reviewing a murderer’s participation in violent neo-Nazi message boards, habit of listening to white nationalist podcasts, and general anomie: “Yeah, it’s probably the anomie.”
America obsesses over children's pronouns while ignoring the actual machinery of their deaths. How perversely misplaced! Nothing reveals national priorities quite like monitoring gender expression while refusing to address the weapons that slaughter our young.
Psychopaths don't care what the agenda is - they just want to kill and harm others.
Michael Stone, a Unionist terrorist in Northern Ireland is a perfect example of this. He even said in an interview that if he'd been born on the other side of town he'd have killed for that side.
Sigh, are these the same researchers that think vaccines cause autism and plant nanobots in our blood? NPR please stop promoting bad science & MAGA propaganda.
RIGHT?! I listen to some podcasts and lull myself to sleep with forensic files or the ID channel .
So I guess maybe a reference to the immature mind of an adolescent and violence .
I mean I gotta know what to look for and reinforce my Spidey senses from time to time .
MILLIONS of people do! It is an absolutely massive market right now! Podcasts, documentaries, TV, YouTube. It’s EVERYWHERE. So to sit here and link it to terrorism is… just insane.
This is a separate group that calls themselves the True Crime Community as a euphemism / joke / meme to disguise their true shared interest: an obsession with mass shooters.

It’s white supremacist, far right-wing terrorism. Period.
But this story here is just plain old white supremacy. Also an ideology.
Some men like to cause fear just for the sake of causing that fear. That's not ideological.
Random violence is an ideology. It is a belief system.
Who would have known that targeting a group of people with hate speech would have an impact?
Are you alluding to a lack of transparency?

I'm not doing your research for you, take your seven questions and get busy, you want to be a citizen journalist...

And the plethora of other pickmes
See India.
Btw, there were jews helping the nazis.

Nonideological my ample ass!
This is straight up Christian white supremacist terrorism not some weird new brain rot.
This headline is completely dishonest and caters to the very same far-right that is to blame for this.
Complete autonomy and unrestricted liberty has given people power, and they like it very much.
Power corrupts.

Is NPR trying to appease white supremacists so they don't lose funding? It's not going to work.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
Quit the bullshit.
Experts: It's super complicated. 🤷♀️
why would anyone be surprised than we have bullets flying anywhere ?
We have created systems for guns & ammo available to anyone
and an unique American societal norm to shoot first and shoot often
Fix:
we could start with a $10 tax on every round
the guy who shot up the AZ Dem HQ ( multiple times)
had
250,000
rounds of ammo in his home
tax the ammo & put markers in the powder
You all have become complete right wing garbage, NPR.
My. Ass.
Y'all out here whitewashing white supremacist violence.
Whiteness is an ideology.

Far right is political motivation by definition. Psychopathy is not political. You're wrong.
What is happening to NPR?
