    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    That's not what I did. I've been clear that the shooter regarded himself as a leftist. He was quite clear about first embracing communism and then modifying that collectivist thinking to national socialism. Incorrect. The horizontal axis is labeled socialism (extreme left) and corporatism...

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    Let me ask you this question, why is it important to you to label the shooter as a "right-wing" extremist, even though he clearly self-identified as a leftist.

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    Yes, an admitted communist at age 12. Ok. Glad to get the most recent update. Which is curiously exactly what I posted in the OP. I was ready to change my opinion based on what you posted, but it seems that the shooter still sees himself as "leftist", just less so than when he was younger...

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    Agreed. While he certainly had his own "little cesspool" of hatred going on ... he was a self-described product of communist and leftist ideology. While some tend to view communism as a benign economic theory, its implementation has consistently left a bloody trail in its wake.

    The Nazi variety ... or the Margaret Sanger variety.

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    Ok ... let's go there. It was a well-stated post. So, why are you taking issue with the fact that I push back against the idea promoted by the mainstream media, and some here, that the shooter was motivated by mainstream "right-wing" ideology? Clearly, his motivations were mixed and extreme...

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    The only real argument here seems to be whether his beliefs were "right-wing" or "left-wing". It seems clear enough that you're willing to accept his statements at face value when they agree with your perceived political perspective. Again, the quibbling here seems to be about labels, whether...

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    No. Not meaningless at all. There is considerable meaning in the shooter's self-description. That you are dismissive of his own words in one instance while embracing them in another instance indicates perhaps a lack of awareness as to their meaning. Incorrect on both counts. 1) While National...

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    A couple of points deserve to be made here: 1) The shooter self-described as being both left-wing and embracing National Socialism. He viewed National Socialism as being more to the "right" than his earlier communist stance but still saw National Socialism as being left-wing. 2) Here's what...

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    Again, you misunderstand ... or are oblivious to the implications of his self-described national socialist (i.e., Nazi) and communist background. It's front and center in what I posted ... and absolutely does "relate to his reasons for killing people". Not sure how it could be any clearer. In...

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    You misunderstand. I simply offered the words of the shooter ... as he described his own ideology. I'm not sure why you're trying to argue with me about his self-description.

    You take issue with characterizing communism as a poisonous left-wing ideology?

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    Good question. While I didn't craft the chart, I'd suggest that the author observed that most governments have progressed to tyranny and thus saw tyranny as the normal progression of society unless a somewhat concerted effort is made to limit the size and scope of government.

    So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

    It is amazing that some here seem to feel there are only TWO sides to the political spectrum ... as if one side unerringly encompasses all that is good and just, while the other side must encompass all that is bad and unjust. Such a stance makes rational discourse ... all but impossible.
