Unless you guys independently came up with those relatively out-there opinions on your own....

For the third time (at least) that stuff comes directly from the guy's manifesto - and yeah, his opinions are definitely "out-there."

The MSM declines to present his manifesto in full, as far as I could tell. If you can find an MSM link to the manifesto, I'd sincerely appreciate being proven wrong. You ought to wonder why you're being shielded from the full content, but I guess you won't. I hate wading through the sewer of right-wing websites, but to an increasing degree that's the only place I can find full versions of documents.

I don't go there first, believe me. I Google for information, and that's where I end up before I can actually find the information.

Like I said last night, I didn't find a full version of the manifesto. But based on the screengrabs that I did see, I find it baffling that one could read it and feel like "gun control" or "environmentalist leanings" were in the same ballpark as "white nationalism" when it comes to the reasons that he did what he did. Perhaps the pages that I missed would change my opinion but I consider that unlikely.
