The last paragraph of that senator's statement is deeply ironic, given he uses Christian gospel to demonstrate that neither he, nor his religion, is any different than that of Islam in this respect.

Fraser Anning is the guy from the "final solution" speech who only got into the senate with 19 votes. I don't mean he won by 19 votes. I mean there were 19 people who voted for him and the only reason he is in the senate is due to some very quirky political circumstances.
Anning is a grade A see you next Tuesday. Unfortunately he symbolises a bigger problem in Australia. Plenty of politicians here, including the PM, are more than happy to dog whistle and promote division while being aided by a NewsCorp controlled media. They can share some of the blame today.

In this hellscape we call 2019, an Extremely Online 8Chan white supremacist terrorist just participated in the murder of 49 innocents in the name of The Great Replacement.
He pulled up to his place of violence listening to the Initial D soundtrack, while live streaming his atrocities on Facebook, paused to play a meme sound effect before exiting his vehicle, said "subscribe to PewDiePie", and began shooting people.
What is reality even anymore.

Pewds is a low-key white supremacist who has in the past used racial slurs on his stream, follows hard-right personalities on Twitter, subscribes to hard-right channels on YouTube, and is often held up as a cosmic trolljob by the dregs of the internet.

Im crushed to wake up to the news out of Christchurch this morning. There are no words. Our thoughts are with the people of NZ today as they process this tragic event. The world can be a real ####ty place sometimes. I have friends in the area and hope they are not impacted but in a community that size I fear it is not a possibility.
