  1. What's the alternative theory here? That a second shooter shot him from behind and the guy arrested is a patsy?
  2. Kash basically openly stated he wanted to fabricate a manifesto. I just don’t think that’s what these texts are.
  3. If the texts are forged after the fact, there's no way that doesn't get caught pretty quickly. These people are lazy and stupid and have no idea how to go about doing something like that without leaving glaring traces.
  4. Well, lots of republicans also want to fuck children.
  5. Why are you arguing with a guy whose idea of a fun new troll persona is dumber Ana?
  6. After the Klippenstein reporting and seeing the texts from the charging document, I don’t think he was a groyper or alt-right or blackpilled. One of those seemed like the most likely explanation because the engravings of memes on the bullets was consistent with previous public shooters radicalized by that part of the internet. Seems to me like he grew up a pretty typical conservative kid then met a trans girl and probably began softening on trans issues as a result. I think this has it right:
  7. I don't think I've encountered the concept of transmaxing before, but this certainly tracks with what I do know about groypers and the alt-right in general. That cocktail of self-hatred, repressed same-sex attractions, misogyny, etc. can certainly lead to some extremely weird shit.
  8. Y'all notice enchubben dodged that whole thing where Kirk called for Biden's execution. That's because he's too stupid to come up for some rationalization for that. Why waste your time on someone that dumb?
  9. Sure you can. Just, you know, not for anything good.
  10. I think it's absolutely intentional on their owner's part. He got freaked out my MeToo and the protests of 2020 and decided he'd rather cozy up to the fascists than have a workforce that felt like they could talk back to him.
  11. 100% of libertarians are frauds.
  12. Where did the idea that there’s no exit wound come from?
  13. He's literally saying they're going to have to make the manifesto themselves and you're like "OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE I'M CONVINCED!"
  14. They're definitely going to try to fabricate a "trans ideology" motive here.
  15. Kirk called for Biden to be executed. I'm sure Enchubben will have an explanation for why that was fine, actually.
  16. The lawyers almost certainly made him do it.
  17. Most internet edgelord boys are hopelessly irony poisoned. I'm guessing he knew it was antifascist but still thought the fascism was cool as hell, enjoyed the irony of the actual fascist characters calling their victims the real fascists, and loved how confused normies would be by his use of the meme.
  18. I don't know that that's the case, because I think the average American didn't know who the hell Charlie Kirk was, but they're certainly being told by every prominent institution in this country that he was a good man. That's the problem.
  19. Seems to me Ana is happier than anyone here about Kirk's murder, as he thinks it gives him another opportunity to dunk on those he hates.
  20. Jamelle Bouie, as always, is great:
  21. I think most 4chan account names just appear as "Anonymous." It's not the same as the hacker group.
  22. You probably already saw that this is from the video game Helldivers. In Helldivers, you play basically as Starship Troopers infantry and the game world's propaganda says you're fighting for managed democracy against fascist bugs and robots, the joke being that you're obviously a fascist foot soldiers and you die all the time. You can call in airstrikes and orbital bombardments and a bunch of other stuff, and "catch this, fascist!" is something you might say before calling in an airstrike if you're kind of LARPing like you're taking it seriously. There's plenty of video game YouTube channels that make silly little videos goofing on the gameplay and that might even be a line from a specific one. Something like this: ETA: dahobbs beat me to it. It's possible that he was a groyper and personally took the "irony" of the game to align with how "ironic" he saw it that a further right fascist would kill Kirk, but more likely it's just a joke the mass shooter fandom community already memefied and by using it in the shooting he's basically referencing a reference of a reference of a reference of... etc. They do this frequently now in attacks (e.g. the shooter who shot up that Catholic school recently wrote the Loss meme on the gun). Sometimes there's some sort of alignment with alt-right shit, but usually it's just nihilistic "jokes."
  23. Meanwhile his widow is using his corpse to launch her own right ring influencer career. It’s amazing how little genuine human connection exists on the right. Everyone is simply a tool to be used and the instant you’re no longer useful you’re discarded.
  24. We've recognized that propagandists should at least sometimes be held responsible for the effects their words can have since we executed Julius Streicher at Nuremburg.
  25. Man, normal journalists are so ill-equipped to report on shit like this: That’s the Guardian, not Fox or CNN or the NY Times. They’re not looking for shit to blame on the left for no reason, but still fell for what may well have been a lie from some alt-right friend of the shooter.
