I woke up to find out that about 100 people have died because of a right-wing terrorist in Norway.
I found out because of Twitter.
It's not being talked about on my Facebook feed, or really anywhere. Passing mention on Tumblr.
WHY???
Why is no one talking about THIS?
Or THIS?
And what about the New York Times saying this guy ISN'T a terrorist?

Why is this not worthy of mention? Why is this being ignored? I don't understand. This is wrong.

Good question. As an aside, GR, your new icon is lovely.

Getting xtians to admit that their religion is false on a public forum will not happen.

Getting them to admit that ALL RELIGION IS TERRORISM will not happen, either.

So they pretend it isn't happening. They're good at pretending, they start young. They pretend all sorts of things, one of which being the "floating invisible man in the sky" lie.

They probably think the floating man wanted this to happen. If not, why?

ALL RELIGION IS TERRORISM.

Crusades, Witch "Trials", Slavery, Fetishizing Crucification, Molestation of children on a massive scale, gang mentality, manipulation of generations of people and their wealth for political gains, Westboro church, Exclusivism and cultural imperialism...

Terrorism.

Why are they allowed to continue existing? Are we really so weak and feeble minded?

Well, now that fucker's actions are being talked about just about everywhere. A few media channels still coy at uttering words like 'terrorist' or his apparent political leanings, while two days ago, hours after the second attack and with the smoke still in the air, they were already naming the familiar bogeyman names and claiming the reasons for the attack were clear, and obvious, no proof or evidence needed.

After skimming on analysis of the fucker's 'manifesto' and previous actions so far revealed, one feels really mind-numbed. Maybe next tuesday's appearance and statements will fill up the missing pieces on his persona, but so far, holy shit. Cut-and-paste how-to hate rhetoric, self-aggrandizing illusions of being a martyr in advance of an old 'Big Work', the desire to spark another Crusade, the implied threat of being a single cell in a continent of many other hidden ones, with resources and power: now this is quite scary. Is he a lone nut that happened to have the resources to carry out the fantasies that a million hate mongers just salivate about? A first shot on a coming war? Or maybe just another patsy, for, as even The Man himself mentioned on Twitter, there's something odd about him, a bit of photoshopped weirdeness? Maybe a puppet under hidden hands' control?

Hope they have the death penalty in Norway.
What a messed up sentence to have typed.

Because it doesn't affect America.

I think it's because he is white, and they are racist.
They want their bad guys to wear black, 'cause gawd told them "white is right".

Nope:
"A prisoner is required to spend at least 10 years in custody before becoming eligible for parole.

It means Breivik could be out as early as 2021.

However, it is technically possible for an offender to spend the rest of their life in prison, regardless of their sentence

As with the penal system here, a Norwegian prisoner serving an indeterminate sentence must show they are no longer a danger to society before being granted parole.

The nature and gravity of Breivik’s crimes suggest he would always be considered a risk. "

The only developed nations with the death penalty are the US, Japan, Singapore and South Korea.

I still haven't seen anyone, out-and-out, call Breivik a terrorist. It's been part of vague articles, yes, but in a generalised sense, as if the only way this is connected to terrorism is that it's exactly like what a terrorist would do.

There's been talk of home-grown terrorism in relation to this, but that ain't Breivik.

I've a wide definition of terrorism. I think drunk drivers are terrorists, and I've been one (almost 30 years ago).

So I've no problem calling this fucker a terrorist.

Well, whoever did the photoshopping on the fucker's studio shots didn't have much to begin with. This is one pudgy crusader.

Even there he looks like he's digital.

I watched this movie about indie rock and rollers in Iran. Talk about bastards, the govt over there censors music and musicians who play music without the govt's permission risk a few month's jail time. I watched this on Netflix and I invite you to watch it too.

PayPal are still cunts.
