| − | The '''New Zealand mosque shooting''' was a [[direct action]] attack on two [[Christchurch]], [[New Zealand]] [[mosque]]s by a [[leftwing]] [[white supremacist]] that killed 50 [[Muslim]]s at prayer in retaliation for the [[Islam]]ization of [[the West]], and in the hopes of sparking "revolutionary change." The shooter described himself as a "green nationalist" and "eco-[[fascist]]." The shooting occurred on March 15, 2019. The shooter wrote a [[Cultural Marxist]]-[[dialectic]] diatribe, rife with contradictions and incoherent nonsense to justify murder and violence, such as is common to much radical leftist literature. The killer, Brenton Tarrant, received training from the [[neo-Nazi]] [[Azov Battalion]] in [[Ukraine]] and wore their insignia on his flak jacket during the shooting.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/15/world/asia/christchurch-mass-shooting-extremism.html</ref><ref>https://thesoufancenter.org/intelbrief-the-transnational-network-that-nobody-is-talking-about/</ref> | + | [[File:Ukraine Army with Nazi Wolsfangel.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The killer, Brenton Tarrant, received training from the [[neo-Nazi]] [[Azov Battalion]] in [[Ukraine]] and wore their insignia on his flak jacket during the shooting.<ref>https://thesoufancenter.org/intelbrief-the-transnational-network-that-nobody-is-talking-about/</ref> The Nazi Wolfsengel patch, a [[hate]] symbol,<ref>https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/wolfsangel</ref> is emblazoned on the sleeve.<ref>https://reportingradicalism.org/en/hate-symbols/movements/nazi-symbols/wolfsangel</ref>]] |
