You can say 'they're all talk until they're not' about anyone. There is no doubt in my mind that this guy would gladly do some gay bashing if he was getting out of some shitty abiline bar/""honky-tonk"" and saw somebody visibly queer walking into a relatively isolated street. But I also understand the gulf between that and publicly planning a mass shooting. Don't get me wrong, I hate this exact type of hick in a way that is indefensibly bigoted in it's own right. But they aren't that stupid.
I mean he's a vile piece of shit but this is like, par for the course chatting shit for west texans. This doesn't even remotely read as an actual threat to me. You have to understand these are uncivilized and stupid people who have thoughts only marginally more sophisticated than their cattle and dogs.
haha what if shoot (thing we don't like) we should do that.
They're stupid but not 'genuinely invite homie to do a mass shooting together with a public faceboook post' stupid. Even these yokels would assume 'surely nobody would take this literally.' Who among us hasn't seen a picture of a white nationalist march and thought things you wouldn't post publicly. It's that frame of mind but if you were a bigot and too dumb to have a filter.
tldr; put him in the reeducation camp for bigotry, not for posting
There is a subset of people on lemmy who embody the npc :| >:| meme specifically for anything tangentially related to elon musk. Elon likes the idea of self driving cars so it's better if 10 people are killed by human drivers than 1 person is killed by a self driving car.
The only connection to pepe is his mom saying "Tyler is some guy from a meme". Which is a very 'i don't get it but ok' type comment. Pretty sure he's just a gopnik, you can find a pepe version of anything.
Considering they went after kirk instead of a bigger fish it's probably somebody deeply personally offended by his minimization of school shootings. That should just narrow it down to all the people who survived a school shooting or lost somebody to one. That's a short list right?
It's pretty uninspiring artistically but at least he's putting his fame to good use with a message slightly more controversial than 'what if cops were gay' or some of his other stuff. Also a very solid up purely from a graffiti perspective, that's a big piece for a location with that much security.
Incredibly annoying to read article. Felt like the author was intentionally being ambiguous about what was paraphrasing and what was reading between the lines.
Reading the actual speech it's not so much mask off as it is mask slightly higher. It's still white supremacist garbage but it's just the same white supremacist garbage they've been saying for years. Mask-off means explicit, it's still just implicit.
I, a warehouse worker, hate OXO for slapping every warning label under the sun on their boxes. I saw a box of oven mitts labeled "fragile" along with like five other warnings. Not even a one size fits all box either, this had custom printing for the product.
Also Crown for making equipment that is so ineptly fly-by-wire there is what feels like half a second delay between input and response.
Every type of anti-environmental person seems to just have no grasp of numbers as a concept. I worked in wind for a while and one coworker was a guy taking a break from the oilfield. He really thought he had something when he was like 'golly is that an oil based lubricant? in a supposedly green energy? hyuk hyuk looks like oil isn't going anywhere.'[this is barely an exaggeration he was a walking caricature of a hick] Just absolutely 0 ability to perceive a difference between burning 100 gallons a day of something vs using 10 gallons a year.
I literally moved away from albuquerque because the drivers are so bad lol. I saw people run red lights directly in front of APD and the cops did nothing on two separate occasions.
You almost have a point but to get there you have to ignore the entire actual context of the conflict. It's not just killing because of killing, there's an entire ongoing expansionist colonial project making one party clearly the aggressor.
