Lyndon McLeod, aka 'Roman McClay', the Denver mass shooter who just murdered 5 people, appears to have been heavily inspired by neo-Nazi figure 'Bronze Age Pervert' (BAP), a Romanian-American extremist whose real name is Costin Vlad Alamariu
cw: neo-Nazism
The shooter obsessively posted passages from Bronze Age Pervert's neo-Nazi manifesto 'Bronze Age Mindset' inciting acts of white supremacist violence & genocide—including this shocking call to "purify the earth and rid it of the infestation of the human-cockroach"
cw: neo-Nazism
Quoting London neo-Nazi Parallax Optics here, McLeod annotated another passage from BAP's manifesto—in which he disturbingly advocates an "eternal force" that "calls on us to allow ourselves to be possessed by it, and to wage war on its behalf against its enemies"
cw: neo-Nazism, racism
This is just chilling; the Denver shooter Lyndon McLeod here praising Bronze Age Pervert as a man of substance, as someone who "gets it"—before highlighting one of the endlessly horrific racist passages from Costin Alamariu's neo-Nazi manifesto
cw: neo-Nazism, antisemitism, ableism
Denver mass shooter Lyndon McLeod was also an admirer of Bronze Age Pervert's extreme antisemitism, in which "the Jewish way of thinking" is described as "mental deficiency and even r*tard*tion", in opposition to an Aryan ideal of "beauty"
The Denver mass shooter posted that it was "an honor to be mentioned alongside BAP", after Bronze Age Pervert made an appearance on Jack Murphy's podcast
This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of Bronze Age Pervert's clear influence on the Denver mass shooter
More on BAP's deeply disturbing incitements to white supremacist violence can be found in this thread (please heed the content warnings):
Three of the five people killed by the Denver shooter were women; extreme misogyny is a defining feature of his idol Bronze Age Pervert's dogma, as detailed in this recent report by @hopenothate and @antisempolicy:
We need to talk about a troubling red-brown 'gender critical' alliance that seems to be brewing between @guardian writer @SusannaRustin and self-descried "reactionary feminist" and neo-Nazi 'Bronze Age Pervert'-promoter Mary Harrington.
Before sharing Harrington's @unherd article above this morning, Rustin was invited over the weekend to read another piece of hers on a website called Palladium.
(Rustin was doing a spot of decorating, so it's unclear if she did in fact read the piece, or what she made of it…)
Palladium was notably founded by Jonah Bennett, the man behind now-defunct neo-Nazi site Social Matter.
Bennett's antisemitism & enthusiasm for Hitler was documented in this 2019 exposé by @hannahgais, including leaked emails about the "Jewish Question": archive.md/Vx7c0
Neo-fascist figure Bronze Age Pervert poses real danger, gaining major traction & influence not only in far-right but more mainstream right & so-called "dirtbag left" circles
I've read his manifesto—so you don't have to—to unmask its neo-Nazi nature
BAP's 2018 'Bronze Age Mindset' can accurately be described as a fascist/neo-Nazi manifesto
It promotes a rejection of modern civilisation, an elevated fantasy of a hyper-masculine Bronze Age Aryan-warrior ideal & the dehumanisation of groups of people as "refuse" to be cleansed
cw: antisemitism, ableism
As is fundamental to most (if not all) fascism, Bronze Age Mindset has at its core an explicitly antisemitic worldview
Here "the Jewish way of thinking" is positioned as "mental deficiency and even r*tard*tion", in opposition to Aryan love of "beauty"
