In the event of the Christchurch shootings, the use of the internet was not only a means of aid for spreading the message, it was indeed the message. Many if not all exposure to this attack came via the internet through a livestream that the attacker, Brenton Tarrant, had posted during the attack itself to Facebook using a GoPro attached to a helmet he was wearing. The massacre that resulted in the deaths of 51 Muslim oriented people was spread like wildfire online along with a manifesto published by Tarrant labeled “The Great Replacement.” As the manifesto tells, Tarrant had a strong disdain for non-white immigrants into Australia and believed in the “White Genocide” where white supremacists subject themselves to the thought that diversification will lead to the extinction of the white race, therefore subjecting themselves to strain from those unlike themselves. I can speak personally as to how the use of the internet not only spread, but magnified his actions as it was the first ever terrorism act livestreamed and subsequently recorded. The graphic video depicts his actions in the point of view of a first person shooter video game, something that Tarrant, and many in the community he resided in, had an addiction to. The violence shown so readily had the effect of terror among those who feared how closely it resembles a common, safe, and secure reality. It broke that barrier we put up to defend ourselves against these actions, and removed the ability to simply distance ourselves from the act. I believe GST can be applied to white supremacy in total, but specifically so in the case of Tarrant. Tarrant frequented forums online where the overwhelming majority of users supported his viewpoints of far right idealization and served as an echo chamber, allowing no room for contradictory thought. Although his lack of previous crimes may have shown some resemblance of a rational individual, his online actions painted a much darker picture of his character. These forums had a pattern of believing in conspiracy theories, plotting against white people and, with no opposition, they found themselves convinced to be the victims of oppression from a much more powerful force at work. The primary evil, in their eyes, being anyone who showed support for diversity, increasing movements and inclusive acts such as diversifying populations and the introduction of mosques. As these forums were heavily populated with people who share the same idea, a mob mentality sort of sense can be derived, believing that the “problems” in their eyes affect much more than reality suggests. These changes will always until changed through violence, remain unjust and unfair, as many believe in radicalized gnostic views.
