Tbh TDW you are, by far the best advert for a policy of strict gun control
The thought of you sitting in your flat, alone, posting “hate” on the internet whilst methodically cleaning your assault rifle is almost too disturbing for words

Its a matter of the opportunity presenting itself.

It's a very tricky one, Tel. I'm a third of the way through his document for exactly the reasons you highlight in your second sentence. What I cannot square is how he's concluded that this act will promote cultural Christian conservatism. All I envisage is people publicly distancing themselves from those beliefs, or remaining silent, for fear of being linked with a mass-murderer. I'm sure there'll be liberal-left activists who, whilst appalled at the human loss, will, when considered dispassionatley, quietly view the event as offering-up massive political advantage. Whilst Breivik claims to want to combat cultural-Marxism, and making the fair assumption that his vision of a European civil war isn't realised, in my view, he's handed his opponents a result and dealt a blow to the unsullied, free expression of legitimate conservative thinking.

I'm not so sure it's about the substance but rather his means of bringing it to a wider audience. If he committed these acts in order to promote his agenda, is it sensible or right for the Norwegian state to be complicit in that promotion? If it's going to expose him as a 'lunatic' then probably best to get it out there - if it's going to be the same line as the Progress Party, the Labour Party would probably want it public for the reasons I've outlined above, however, if it plants the seed in the minds of would-be terrorist activists that murder equals exposure, then we have to be very careful.

Trying to censor his views may backfire and further inflame such sentiments amoung the fringes of the right wing, as those inclined towards this kind of view will interpret it as evidence there is a government and media sanctioned conspiracy against their position. Most likely this will just compound their sense of alientation and frustration and drive them to more extreme measures to get heard.

Prosecute him, as per Norwegian law, I wouldn't give him any special treatment and gagging him, if anything, will just give him even more notoriety. He's committed a terrible crime and should get his day in court - before he spends the rest of his life rotting in a cell.

But he won't though - maximum sentence for murder in Norway is 21 years.

There is the opportunity to extend the sentence if he's considered a threat at the time of his potential release. I'm guessing he'll still be considered a threat.

I understand the political ends of the IRA and AQ and Tamil Tigers and Hamas and so on; I don't get this. The Progress party were edging towards power via legitimate political means - he may well have put a halt to that which surely defeats the desired outcome.

I havent read much about this but he seems to have gone on a rampage killing people to protest about multi-culturism, anti Islam sentiment and immigration, surely he is actually doing AQ's job for them anyway ?
I think he is a just insane, any political agenda or views are null when you kill people for your "cause", same for AQ and the IRA or any other terrorist.

Nationalism was acceptable prior to WW2 but the sins if fascism have tainted it. You won't get the middle classes drawn to it like what happen in Germany, it will just stay a fringe movement.

I've heard this a lot but I really don't think it is significant and the 'threat' that liberal-lefties make it out to be.

elected, pragmatic parties with culturally Christian-conservative values - Merkel's on record as saying multi-culturalism isn't working. The pace of change was too slow for Breivik and he believed he was speeding up that process. Insane?

i think trying to understand his actions is just about impossible for any sane person,
his religous beleifs i dont think promote mass murder of kids - i know it was a camp for some political group, but as soon as people start killing like this - there not thinking sanely. and therfore you cant really understand him.
im really surprised he didnt do himself in also - hes going to get toatlly f*cked in jail!

Commit the crime, go to trial, get the punishment. Simple as that. This nutter is not going to get support for what he's done. Quite a lot of people, me included, have a strong dislike of cultural Marxism, but going from that to the kind of extremism this person has shown is a massive, massive leap. There are very few people capable of it in society as it currently stands.

This is what baffles me about fundamentalism - it's just completely impractical and unpragmatic. If one follows it through to its logical conclusion it's doomed to failure. I've been thinking out loud on this thread, trying to get inside Brievik's head, but I just cannot fathom where he thought this would end-completely divorced from reality? Functioning psychopath? Evil?

They're not plugged in to reality. Same reason they go all out in their scathing arguments about the oppression inherent in capitalism, but reserve only mild criticism for 3rd world despotic regimes going under the guise of 'communism' - much fairer to all be starving than for some people to have a little while others have a lot.

Sometimes I think this sort of craziness is like political ideology made by an artist. Like it's created from nothing and just exists on its own term which you could call 'brave' if you were into it....like a kind of leap of faith.
