> .. to see fewer tragedies like the racist murders in Buffalo.. combat the #nihilism at the core of the shooter’s worldview. Fighting #racism itself is going to be a part of that effort. If wealth was not so concentrated, however, or if politicians acted as though the #ClimateCrisis really mattered, there would be a smaller reservoir of nihilistic youths for right-wing extremists to recruit from in the first place.
