Holy crap, this is getting so bad, so fast.

I don't care what stripe of writing this guy does--why does anyone think it's okay to shut down anyone's voice, and all of our collective rights to buy and read whatever the fuck we want? How does an authoritarian state help, whatever side of the imaginary intellectual fence you're on? Are people really that dumb that if it's the "other" guy now, it's not going to be you next? Jeepers.

Ironically, it says to reject identitarianism, reject extremism, focus on yourself and what you can immediately improve, and bear as much responsibility as you can. Traditionalist, rational, and conservative ideas.

identitarianism

Had to Google that, not what I expected.

So... he, based on this info, made his own false flag? He wanted guns banned and he made it happen?

You mean the shooter made his own false flag? He stated in his manifesto that his intention was to create as much divisiveness as possible, including making people in the US freak out about the 2nd amendment to such a great degree that it's spark armed conflict.

I don't think that qualifies it as a false flag, however, since he was the one carrying out the attack and not trying to pretend to be someone else.
