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.
