The recent act of targeted mass violence against Black Americans at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, New York, is yet another reminder that accelerationist, neo-fascist lone-actor violence remains one of the dangerous domestic terrorism threats in the United States today.
Best understood as a set of tactics and strategies explicitly designed to put pressure on and exacerbate latent social and societal divisions in order to collapse the system, experts believe neo-fascist accelerationism has been the inspiration for some of the deadliest acts of mass violence in the United States in recent years — from Black churchgoers in Charleston, Jewish congregants at synagogues in Pittsburgh and Poway, and Latino shoppers at a Walmart in El Paso.

Was the Black guy in Texas who shot up Asian spa part of the white accelerationists violence? I mean some Democratic Congress women labeled him a white supremacist?

Good question, but it doesn't fit the narrative that the only bad guy in the US is "Whitey".

I agree with you...the guy below states not in the same ball park and deflection. Typical left answer...HOWEVER, on that same day there were 4 other mass shootings against other races and the just didn't fit the narrative so they made back cover news so the left could exploit this one and send Biden to the area for political gain. Btoom line: they are ll sad and all have to be fully investigated and shouldn't have happened but the fact that our government is putting some above others tells me that they are only about one thing...the narrative to divide Americans and get reelected.

..."As the mass shooting in Buffalo indicates, the mainstreaming of white supremacist narratives and grievances has become a significant factor in the radicalization and mobilization of domestic terrorists who adhere to neo-fascist accelerationism. The threat of domestic terrorism today is no longer confined to one group, one country, or the dark underbelly of the internet — it has seeped into political speeches, prime time cable news, and both mainstream and niche social media platforms. Meanwhile, the spread of once-niche conspiracy theories like the great replacement into mainstream societal discourse only increases the risk of radicalization, and the potential for future acts of mass violence in the homeland and beyond."

The thing about racists and racist apologists is that they can never stay on topic in situations like this. They deflect to black people and bring up situations that are not even in the same ballpark.
