Where the El Paso Mass Shooting Fits in the Evolution of White Supremacist Tactics

* White supremacist terrorism isn't a new phenomenon, but it appears to be trending upward globally again.

* Three recent high-profile white supremacist mass shootings involved the use of the concept of leaderless resistance, which was developed in a bid to avoid law enforcement infiltration.

* The internet has played a major role in driving the recent spike in white supremacist violence.

Excerpt: There have been three mass shootings in the United States since July 28 involving angry, young white men. The July 28 shooting at a food festival in Gilroy, California, and the Aug. 4 shooting outside a nightclub in Dayton, Ohio, appear motivated by factors other than white supremacism. Even though most of the Dayton shooter's victims were African Americans, as of this writing, he does not appear to be a white supremacist based on his ideology and history. But when a man walked into a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on Aug. 3 and opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle, killing at least 20 people and injuring dozens more before being captured by the police, he became the third high-profile white supremacist mass shooter of 2019.

The Big Picture

White supremacist ideology is just one of many motivations underlying mass public attacks. In fact, the majority of such attacks occur in response to a grievance rather than in connection with any ideology. Nevertheless, it is important to understand the ideology and tactics associated with white supremacist terror so attacks can be detected and hopefully thwarted as the attacker progresses through his attack cycle.

. . . .

Certainly, there were cases in which a reputedly "former" Aryan Nations member would shoot up a Jewish day care center, or a "former" World Church of the Creator member would go on a multistate shooting spree. But other than some occasional clusters such as the so-called "Summer of Hate" in 1999, white supremacist terrorism remained a persistent, though mostly low-level, threat. This might be changing now.

The Internet as Driver of Mass Shootings

I believe the propaganda on the internet is a strong factor driving the increase in white supremacist attacks. I have discussed how the media has long served as a terrorism magnifier, and how modern terrorism has from the beginning been inextricably linked to developments in the media, whether rise of the mass distribution of newspapers or the advent of television news. Now, the internet has democratized the news and has permitted terrorists — even those who operate alone under the leaderless resistance model — to be their own media. Thus, the Christchurch killer broadcast his attack on Facebook Live, and the Poway shooter attempted unsuccessfully to follow suit. This was also on display in the way the Oslo bomber, the Christchurch killer and now the El Paso killer each posted statements to the internet outlining their motives in the hope of influencing others to join their cause. The internet has also fostered transnational connections between these attackers, with the Christchurch killer referencing the Oslo attacks, and the Poway and El Paso killers referencing Christchurch.

Along with jihadists, white supremacists were early adopters of the internet.

White supremacists have long used the internet. Along with jihadists, they were early adopters. The white supremacist website Stormfront and the jihadist website Azzam.com both appeared in the early days of the internet. White supremacists in fact have had a robust presence on the web since the days when Internet Relay Chat and Usenet were the primary social media outlets. Bearing in mind the lessons of the Fort Smith trial, most white supremacist websites tended to be fairly careful about calls for violence, even suspending some users for advocating violence. Instead, these websites sought to create a place to inculcate visitors with their ideology, and permit them to make connections that would facilitate subsequent terrorist operations. In recent years, however, there has been an increase in overt, over-the-top calls for violence by white supremacists on outlets such as 8chan, Gab and Discord — sites being linked to the recent high-profile attacks. Unlike older white supremacist websites such as Stormfront and even Vanguard News Network, these websites are totally unfiltered.

In many ways, this shift in white supremacist propaganda reminds me of the change in jihadist propaganda when the Islamic State and its supporters began circulating graphically violent content. Young male jihadists embraced and devoured this content over relatively stuffier al Qaeda propaganda releases. I believe that this propaganda plus the Islamic State's battlefield successes played a large role in the spike of grassroots jihadist attacks seen globally during 2014-2016. Absent a physical white supremacist equivalent of the Islamic State's caliphate, the spike in white supremacist attacks may prove less dramatic, but for now, its virulent propaganda appears to be gaining traction.
