Do you know what immediately disqualifies you from having your opinion cared about by anyone? Killing a bunch of innocent, unarmed people! Very disturbed to read about the events in Christchurch this morning. The report I saw quoted the shooter as saying he perpetrated the act to gain maximum publicity for his pile of trash "manifesto". ... What better indication is there that your ideology is utter nonsense than killing innocent people? There is literally no better way to convince me not to give a crap about your worldview. But sadly this craving for attention seems to be a recurring theme for these terrorists. They all have something to say, and are convinced mass murder is the best way to get people to listen. Please don't give this guy what he wants. Don't read about him, don't read his manifesto. Give him the attention his behavior warrants, and let his identity meld back into anonymity where it belongs.

Instead, find inspiration from tragedies like this to defend victims of discrimination and intolerance. This heinous act is the ultimate manifestation of those behaviors. Moments like this are a reminder that the stakes couldn't be higher.
