Episode 295 - The Christchurch Massacre

O tym odcinku

<p>On the 15th of March, 2019, a 28-year-old man walked into a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, holding a shotgun and semi-automatic rifle – and opened fire. </p><p>And what set this story apart was not just its brutality, but also the way it was staged – from the internet, for the internet. The gunman had strapped a GoPro to his helmet, and was streaming every second of the Christchurch shooting over Facebook Live. And just before he entered Al-Noor mosque, he said to his online audience: “Remember lads, subscribe to PewDiePie.”</p><p>We look at online radicalisation, the deep internet meta-humour that was littered through the manifesto – and the role of platforms like 8chan and YouTube in the rise of far-right terrorism.</p><p>--</p><p>If you would like to take up the offer of the 6 month free trial to Wondery+ just click <a href="https://wondery.com/plus/create-account/?%20coupon=ES6DFG44&amp;plan=price_1GvrxLGnRdZsIDKgY1zPG7dY">HERE</a> or visit <a href="http://redhandedpodcast.com/wonderytrial">redhandedpodcast.com/wonderytrial</a></p><p>And don’t forget - you’ll be automatically charged $4.99 a month after the end of the 6 months, so if you don’t want to keep W+ be sure to cancel!</p><p>If you have Amazon Prime - but still can’t access ShortHand via amazon music - unfortunately you are in a region that doesn’t have access.
