The media and politicians aren't manufacturing claims out of thin air, and the manifesto is out there for all to read. White nationalism has to factor in somehow in order to build the argument that it's to blame.

Ok? But I was talking about how you and others were discussing the role of white nationalism on this board - it seemed very much that it was either being ignored, outright refuted (see Owl# initial posts), or minimized to minutiae.

Again, I appreciate you more fully explaining that you see it as a factor, just not the primary factor.

And I, and probably many of your conservative compatriots, would argue that explicit white nationalist ideals do NOT have to be out there for the media to try and tie that yolk to someone. I very much understand criticisms of the media in these instances because of that truth.
