"On July 22, 2011 a 32 year old far right activist clothed as a police officer opened
fire on a Labor Party youth camp on Utoya Island in Norway, slaughtering 69 people
and maiming many more. The vast majority of the victims were between 14 and 19 years
of age. He also placed bombs in a government building in Oslo, killing 8 and wounding
others. In a 1,500 page manifesto in English posted on the internet hours before the
massacres in which he referred to himself as a "Marxist hunter," he declared "preemptive
war," targeting "Cultural Marxists" who propagate a "multiculturalist," ideology to
which he attributed the decay of Western European and American "civilization and culture"
and the promotion of a pro-Islamic "Eurabia." What is compelling about this story
is less what the content of the killer's easily downloadable manuscript reveals about
far right thinking, than how the significance of the event was concealed and silenced
as it was interpreted for the public by journalists and political figures. By characterizing
Breivik as an evil 'aberration' and abstracting his acts from the social and political
context in which they took place, persuasive political arbiters and media reproduced
what Allan Pred referred to as "situated ignorance," keeping people from attaining
a more accurate knowledge and understanding of the events"
