  1. Fake news is poor way to say it, but your overall point might be correct. But let's remember, in the aftermath of his killing, the rhetoric on the right immediately went to trans shooter. Immediately. Trans people were doxxed online that afternoon as possible suspects. They have been trying to pigeonhole everything into the transgender accusation. The groyper theory only came about after some information was provided that could corroborate it. That people in that gamer space is where lots of groypers live. That he wore a Pepe meme Halloween costume. That Nick Fuentes, the leader of the groyper "movement", had a very specific beef with Charlie Kirk. You're right that "both sides" could be wrong. But one side went about it disingenuously.
  2. Since we all originally came to this board with a shared love of UT, I kindly ask everyone (no matter your political affiliation) reading this thread to spend 15 minutes watching this video. A calm and thoughtful view from across the pond regarding Charlie Kirk and the aftermath.
  3. Look, I acknowledge many on the left have insulated themselves online as well and certain people provide them misinformation/disinformation. But equating it is huge mistake IMO. Kirk didn't just "challenge people's views". He promoted misogyny, bigotry, and Christian nationalism. Did he also espouse some religious views that were palatable? Sure, I'll give that to you. But if someone is saying good things and also terrible things, you can't just ignore the negatives. You have to red flag that stuff, and maybe most on the right never saw it. We have become a people obsessed with being right, instead of being obsessed with getting it right. Perception is not reality. Reality is reality. We've lost that.
  4. The only way to have empathy for right wingers in this environment is to realize they are being fed nothing but misinformation/disinformation through their social media feeds, algorithms, and conservative news sources. The ability to curate information was a disastrous development. And we're not able to have fruitful conversations about this with our friends and family to make a difference. But I'm gonna keep trying.
  5. He didn't play well two weeks ago, but clearly yesterday was WAY worse than SJSU game.
  6. Come on, man. If he looked unhappy it's because he played the worst game of his life.
  7. White kid from Utah kills Charlie Kirk = "The group of people that did this will pay." Fucking ghouls.
  8. Why would you even need to watch other QBs to make this determination
  9. Once they go over film together it will look much worse. Arch needs to find some outside help for his mindfuckery, and Sark needs to work quickly on longterm backup plans. The problems are undeniable and can't be shrugged off. That's the only "good" news about this debacle.
  10. Simon is legit. The only guy that can break a tackle so far.
  11. A Wingo ate his baby(brain)
  12. Gonna be an interesting post game PC. Sark has built up a lot of good will, which has allowed him to run this program with more secrecy than normal. He was chippy with the press last week. He needs to take ownership of this pathetic offense. This is on him. Yes, Arch had an incredibly disastrous performance. But Sark's game planning and playcalling are dogshit, the O-line is a disaster, the body language overall on offense is fucking horrible. "All Gas, No Brakes" is a laughable mantra. Rarely have we seen our offense firing on all cylinders or a style of play calling that backs it up. Completely unacceptable. Own it and fix it, Sark.
  13. Needle in the haaaaaaaaaaaay
  14. Can we find a discreet escort to fuck his brains out?
  15. Another request to change this thread title to Arch Madness. Even more fitting now.
  16. This young woman rules. And I can certainly relate to her reactions to the attempts to gaslight/manipulate her. Keep fighting the good fight.
  17. IMO it's just become a commentator account on Twitter at this point. No research/info backing things up.
  18. If the dude was a Groyper, it is a crucial distinction and shouldn't be dismissed. These Trumper motherfuckers want to start a civil war over this. We have to incessantly shove it back in their face IF there is more proof he's attached to Fuentes/Groypers in any way.
  19. It was such obvious bullshit, but interesting that an anonymous source would retract their statement. In a normal world this update would matter, but not with the Republican cult in power.
  20. NSIAP as it's important for non-CR folks to see this. The Guardian article with a "high school friend' who called Tyler Robinson a "leftist"? Yeah, total bullshit.
  21. They have his computer and phone, right?
