>promote alt-right ideologies

Why are invoking alt-right? One of the two shooters was radically left, and he posted his threats on Twitter.

Because that's the radicalized ideology that pops up most often on 4chan. If you know of a board with a contingent of alt-left/identity-politics I would be interested to know. As you said yourself, the case of the second shooter seems to be related to Twitter, not the chans.

This bubble is so large it no longer appears to be a bubble.

He had "leftist" in his bio so that makes him a "radical left".

Is that what passes as reasoned thinking these days?

No. Come on, are we gonna do it like this? Actually take a look at this guy.

I call him radical because he actually was. He posted overt, politically charged threats on Twitter, for example: "I want socialism, and i’ll not wait for the idiots to finally come round to understanding."
