On the “gamification” of terrorism, Elisabeth Zerofsky in The New Yorker:

'When someone asked Privorozki how concerned he was about the rise of the extreme right in Germany, he responded that the problem wasn’t just in Germany. “All over the world there is anti-Semitism,” Privorozki said. “It’s very important that governments in all countries find out the special medicine to try to fight this problem.” (Privorozki later told me that he’d received an e-mail of condolence from the Tree of Life Synagogue, in Pittsburgh, where eleven people were killed by a mass shooter almost exactly a year ago) Florian Hartleb, a lecturer of political science at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Inglostadt and an expert on right-wing extremism, agreed with Privorozki’s appraisal. “I think it would be misleading to link this too much with the local situation,” Hartleb told me, noting that the terrorists’ words, like those of the Christchurch killer, were largely strung together from Internet-ready memes. “This was not an ideology sui generis,” Hartleb said. “He was socially isolated, there was clearly some personal frustration. He was living with his mother.” More specifically, Balliet’s actions bore signs of an 8-chan subculture that promotes what has been referred to as the “gamification” of terrorism. He was one of the so-called alienated children of our times, Hartleb said, who search for a new family in online culture. He was also unknown to police prior to the attack.'

Indeed, the problem is not so much Germany, even though the rhetoric of the AfD is harmful, the problem is much wider. But for historical reasons antisemitic attacks in Germany will get more media attention and will be judged harshly.

There will always be alienated children, the question what kind of seductions will the outskirts of society offer these children.
