"Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees.

But the truth of a sea in all it's immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble." - Dean Koontz

LARPing Nazis are the Useful Idiots which the State uses to Crush Freedom - the New Zealand terrorist, Brenton Tarrant, Norway terrorist, Anders Breivik, and National Action wannabe fools - all deserve the same disdain.
The controlled opposition have been at it again. Just like Breivik in Oslo, now another useful idiot, Brenton Tarrant in Christchurch, has murdered ordinary people who were just living their lives, and by his actions, any criticism of globalisation and the dilution of cultural homogeneity, can be labelled as hateful and an incitement to violence. In New Zealand, gun control is set to be achieved, even though the terrorist had illegally acquired the weapons he used to slaughter his victims.
