## Resource

New research from New Zealand reveals the Christchurch gunman was far more active online than previously thought, with extensive racist and violent posts dating back to 2014 on extremist forums — anonymously linked to his hometown and travels. These findings suggest he wasn’t just lurking but actively seeking validation and belonging within far-right circles, fueling his radicalization before the 2019 massacre. The discovery reshapes our understanding of his digital footprint and offers critical insights into how online extremism shapes real-world violence — urging a reckoning with the platforms and ideologies that enable such tragedies.
