This is a great analysis of the circumstances that a man, not from New Zealand where it happened, this massacre, Christchurch, but how Australia created a monster, a monster that would brag about administering death and destruction to innocent people. To boast that he would film it and sing songs when delivering his carnage. The far-right like Reclaim Australia loved it and even the right-wing politicians were satisfied. The rise of mass violence is associated with fascism perpetrated by politicians because of they, fascists take the word from people like Hitler and idolise him. They pick a vulnerable target and vent hate which is formed into extreme violence.
