“Years of misguided alarmism over ‘Islamic terrorism’ resulted in the erosion of civil liberties, militarization of police, and a host of other bad outcomes. Applying the same alarmist logic to ‘white nationalist terrorism’ is likely to produce a host of similarly bad outcomes,” tweeted independent journalist Michael Tracey in response to the chatter.

Political commentary is flooded with the word “terrorism” today. People are demanding that the El Paso shooter in particular and white supremacists in general be labeled terrorists by the narrative-making commentariat, and you know what? I totally get it. The push since 9/11 to tar Muslims as “terrorists” has been extremely obnoxious and fueled by hate and bigotry, so it makes sense for progressive-minded people to push for the egalitarian usage of that term. But before doing so, please reflect on what lessons we learned from the post-9/11 “Islamic terrorism” scare.

“I am telling you now that the government will use the violence that Trump himself has rallied as an excuse for more militarization, more surveillance, more violations of civil liberties - and a lot of people are going to welcome these things because they are afraid,” tweeted Truthout’s Kelly Hayes.

The last major false flag resulted in the so-called 'Patriot Act', which was nothing more than an ass-fuck of civil liberties? Now we have this relentless, pounding agitprop press?

Honestly, nobody thinks this stuff is orchestrated to make us volunteer to give up our civil liberties even more AND the Second Amendment? Shooting incidence frequency and timing are beginning to look almost planned and clustered with intent. Call me paranoid, but it's making me paranoid, not of the shooters, but the Guv.
