The hole in information caused by the censorship is causing people to come up with and perpetuate all sorts of crazy accusations and conspiracies about what "really" happened or why. The truth and fact of the what (video) and why (manifesto) is important clarification to the situation. Censorship is causing mystery, unrest, and false blame.

There is no mystery whatsoever.

The video is footage of someone murdering people, and the manifesto is a mess right wing islamophobia and strange call-outs.

Both are offensive both at a basic human level, and under the legal definition here in NZ.

There's no information hole - the contents of the video and the manifesto have been very widely reported.

What do you really expect to learn that you can't already learn from the reporting?

> and the manifesto is a mess right wing islamophobia

Except it's not - it's a mess of a "third position" white ethnonationalism.

And I know it because I could read it.
