White Supremacy and the New Zealand Shooter
Jane Coaston, senior politics reporter at Vox, talk about the white nationalist ideas that influenced the alleged New Zealand shooter, and the connections to similar acts of violence in the United States and around the world.
"Manifestos like those created by the Christchurch shooter or Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber… are created with the purpose of creating more people like themselves. This isn’t a diary, it’s written with the purpose of sharing it will millions of people on the internet," @cjane87.

"White nationalism in a horrific way has become globalized. We’re seeing people who are in other countries who view themselves as part of a pan-white experience, taking rhetoric from white nationalists in the U.S. and Europe and combining them into an overall ideology," @cjane87.
