Read some Fukuyama, extrapolate from that, and you'll start to believe the same. He's a right-wing fundamentalist/terrorist who tries to start a civil war by bringing back to life the knights templars; his ideology is pretty common for right-wing.
It's too easy to say that he is insane. It's ideological violence. Same as nazism was, RAF was, KKK racial hangings were, jihadism is, or even -taken to an extreme- an institutionalized version where vietnamese kids ended up being bombed with napalm was.
I say it again, it's too easy to dismiss him as a nutcase since history only shows that ideological violence is the norm, not the exception. I would call ideological violence pretty insane, but I don't close my eyes to that many, many people are inclined to it, practice it, or out-source it to their government.
Well, that’s a pretty dull view on humanity, isn’t it? All Germans in the 30-40's was coldblooded mass-murderers?? Do you
really believe this?
I think an absolute majority of the German people was victims of their own history, economy, and a small but very loud gang of psychopath goons that used violence and threats to scare the majority to obey their crazy "ideology".
The Nazis at first thought they could use "Ordinary Army Fritz" to "get rid" of "the problem" by gun down civilians in any close-by ditch. It didn’t work... "Ordinary Fritz" lost his mind after a few experiences of this brutal and surreal madness, and became mentally ill and completely "useless" to the Nazis. And we all know how the Nazis solved "the problem" in the end...
The Big Freak himself had a history of extreme and perverted sexuality, and he was an amphetamine junky, on top of the rest of the madness. Beyond completely nuts, he had a bunch of 'ordinary diseases' (
that could probably drive a completely normal man mad); irritable bowel syndrome, skin lesions, irregular heartbeat, Parkinson's disease, syphilis, tinnitus, Asperger syndrome, sinus infection, real bad teeth and gums infection, Monorchism (only one testicle).
And his brutal and drunken father Alois Hitler, gave him all the genes and 'culture' ever needed:

I agree that Behring Breivik is a 'mental mystery'. If it’s true that he planned this terror attack for 9 years, and stayed focused all this time, completely alone – it doesn’t fit the common picture of a psycho madman. But we don’t know exactly what happened yet, and besides – a professor in psychiatry said that this behavior
is possible, yet it’s
extremely unusual (
thank god).
So, what is your source for claiming Behring Breivik perfectly normal??
If you try to imagine the completely horrendous situation out on the island, for a moment, I’m sure you agree that this is not normal human behavior in any sence. It doesn’t matter how far out on any right or left wing you are – this is not something a normal human could carry through, for several hours. It’s just too insane...
Behring Breivik used illegal ammunition, so called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanding_bullet" , that does horrific things to human bodies when hitting. Behring Breivik was not heavily drugged when committing this awful crime; he did it in cold blood, one by one.
(You also have to remember that he did not have any military experience at all. He was relieved his military service.)
This is
not normal by
any standards, and I think you understand this as well.
The poor teenagers surviving this tragedy will have a lot of horrendous 'images' to process in the coming years...

Sorry to say, but if right-wing populism continues like it does it Europe at the moment, in forty years from now he may be considered a hero, not a nutcase.
I don’t agree, and frankly it’s almost as nutty as some of the Behring Breivik ideas.
Only if you think that this crazy moron has something substantial to say to the world, this will be possible.
We are already hundreds of millions in deep agreement that this is
not the case; all he says is crazy mumbo-jumbo.
My personal guess is that all these extremists – whether it’s lunatic Jihadists or mentally ill extreme-right-wings or the "usual dictator" – they all have to fight free information, and to be scrutinized by well informed internet users all over the world. Just look at Egypt and Tunisia...
Do you really think that this guy would have been successful, roaring in the CNN studio??
