the big issue I have with this take is that Groypers are known to treat Helldivers 2 as a Nazi bar, and these messages confirm that he was actively playing that game. coupled with the Groyper memes that were supposedly marked on the unshot bullets, he must at least have been familiar with Groyper ideology, if not being part of the movement himself.
Him being familiar doesn’t necessarily mean aligned. I’m just saying that assigning ideology with little to no evidence doesn’t benefit anyone other than the media outlets that are trying to drum up outrage.
Interesting article about his Discord chats. Doesn’t really speak to his beliefs, since he mostly spoke about games. I’m worried that Trump and Co aren’t really worried about facts though. They’ve already decided this is a problem with Democrats.

Don’t buy into the garbage journalism. Pay attention to what evidence they actually put forward.
