  • Then you better be advocating for better public transit

  • As opposed to silently changing your default browser?

  • His greatest accomplishment was getting shot in the neck

  • Drinking alcohol doesn't give adults birth defects either, but drinking alcohol while pregnant causes birth defects in the child 🤯

  • ok

  • Not really, but this seems more like projection to me.

    There is only thing I know for sure and it's that the shooter wasn't a leftist. There is nothing about him that suggests him being a leftist, and certainly nothing that would suggest he's been radicalized to the point of a targeted killing by the left. The only thing you have to go on is what the state and federal investigators say they have, which they obtained through a source they didn't name.

  • Although I agree that Robinson seems to be politically ambiguous, he most definitely has a right-wing bent. Him being apolitical or even a kind've slight leftist doesn't explain how he became radicalized enough to commit a targeted political killing.

    My theory is that he was radicalized as a teenager since we have strong evidence that he spent a lot of time online as a teenager. Given all the factors (white cis male in a MAGA household living in Utah who grew up terminally online and described as a hardcore Gamer), it makes sense to me that he was a Groyper or at least spent a lot of time in Groyper spaces outside of the Discord channel mentioned in this article and that was what radicalized him to hate Charlie Kirk. If the feds are to be believed and he was dating a trans woman, then that would provide the motive for acting on his pre-existing hatred for Charlie, but it wouldn't explain how he got radicalized enough to act on that hatred in the first place.

    As as aside, I strongly disagree with this article that Robinson is bisexual. If he's a rabid rightoid dating a trans woman, then he would likely consider himself straight and he's just dating his girlfriend. If he's a woke leftie dating a trans woman, then he would likely consider himself straight and he's just dating his girlfriend. In either case, I highly doubt he would consider himself bisexual at all just because he's dating a woman.

  • Zionists are not controlling the New Nazi Party, that's absurd. Just like the original Nazi party, our New Nazi party are financially supporting Zionists in Palestine because Zionism happens to align with Nazi ideology when it comes to the belief that all Jews should be deported from the US and live somewhere else.

  • Can you really imagine a far Right killing Kirk would be doing so because they “had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out” ?

    Yeah I can actually. A young white man radicalized by years of being terminally online in groyper spaces who already hated Charlie Kirk for not being extreme enough, who then started to date a trans woman (if the feds are to be believed on this at all). All the trans romantic partner angle gives is a more clear motive, but doesn't actually explain his radicalization to the point of a targeted killing. Being a groyper does.

  • Just because you can't hear the dog whistle does not mean it doesn't exist. The thing with Groypers, and many white nationalists over the past decade, is that they're full of ironic memes, co-opting liberal media, and hidden language as a tactic to confuse people like you into believing they're not an extremist movement at all

  • Protests? You mean "race riots"

  • Absolutely not

  • Of course I do. Mostly because I avoid communities that I know will be toxic as hell and full of chuds

    This seems to be the opposite experience for many who have expressed that they don't check—they feel entitled to be present and post in every space regardless of any context

  • Yeah! If women want their own space they should sequester themselves into a backroom with no advertising and an onerous sign-up process requiring an ID check that no one ever sees or hears about but somehow all women will know it exists because they have a psychic sense for those kinds of things

  • Alright, but none of that was really relevant to this comment. Why are you soapboxing on it?

  • As usual on Lemmy, the answer is just for women to shut up and listen to what the men want

  • Yes, trying to warn other women about a man you dated who abused you or gave off weird vibes is definitely the same as getting your nudes or porn video of yourself leaked against your will onto the public internet for everyone to see

  • The app required ID uploads ostensibly to verify that you were a woman signing up, men were not allowed to join for obvious reasons

  • He didn't die, he's in the hospital
