This is horrible. Unfortunately I immediately worry what my landlord's self-declared white-nationalist failson channer thinks of this. That was the first time in person I realised these people actually exist and what they will believe, say and do (pretty haunting thinking again of when he left my house saying, "When the revolution comes, I'll be the first to shoot.") It upsets me with the Internet and GRc being a big part of my culture that there are those dark corners of the web that breed amongst civilised society, even amongst the relatively well-off with little to no real threat to their lives, individuals driven to extremes like this, and have that come back to haunt people who look like me and have hobbies like me. That sounds naive, but I just mean how close to home it really is. Everyone needs to be more alert that these psychopaths with extreme views festered largely on the Internet are around and willing to commit atrocities but at the same time I reel at the idea that the media circus and the natural reaction to it together cultivate the fear and reverence that the perpetrators want.
Thankfully he (my local alt right nutter) has been effectively banned from working on our home. He couldn't even drill a hole in a wall anyway so I'm not surprised he's isolated and jobless if Destiny 2, racism and misogyny are his top 3 skills/things to talk about.
