White Supremacist Killer Testifies He Was Radicalized by Conspiratorial Content Like Infowars
A man who admits he ran down a Muslim family said he did so because he believed anti-Muslim conspiracies he found on fringe websites like Alex Jones’ Infowars.

Who are you arguing with?
No one is saying his sentence should be less because the ideology he fell into turned him into a raging asshole.
The argument is that these communities exist to create raging assholes. It's an indictment of the right-wing media ecosystem as a whole by reasonably associating it this person's clear hateful actions. In other words, others should be on the hook along with this asshole.
But that does not align with the movement to forbid dissenting ideas. Please reconsider.

I'm really interested why Lemmy says there are -6 new messages? That many deleted comments or what?
As for the story, it turns out water is wet. Not really a surprise.
At the moment, lemmy is not great with comment integrity. If somebody deletes a comment (mod or the user themselves), the entire chain basically gets nuked.
So it looks like a conservative got embarrassed that they were supporting a white supremacist killer, and deleted their comments. Or maybe they got banned.
I'm new here- so this place is kind of like Reddit except less tolerant of political dissent? Do you have to be Democrat for Lemmy? I don't understand.

Funny, I've been reading the good, the bad, and in insane from infowars for years, and I've for some unknown reason never felt the need to go kill people who weren't white. Probably because this is just stupid and an an excuse from a childish adult that wanted people to feel bad for him because he got caught. Nice try.
Just because you aren't gullible enough to be easily radicalized doesn't mean the same applies to others.
