    So an entire family of MAGA PedoCons, and at least one of them gets screwed up enough to start shooting up their own side? That’s beautiful.

    I’ve been saying from the beginning that the thing that will finally save us is MAGA’s virtuosic incompetence. Just give them enough rope, and they’ll hang themselves.

    The problem is the damage they’ll do until that happens.

      The current rumor is that he’s a groyper, AKA “MAGA is too liberal” type of guy. Nick Fuentes follower. But at this point, it’s not 100% certain.

        And we all know that is just the bullshit that the cult of maga is using to distance themselves from this event. The old “see it wasn’t us” mentality to avoid hurting their little snowflake feelings so they can keep on being bigots without remorse.

    His mother, another MAGA, is a licensed social worker. I feel so sorry for those people. My mother was one at a school for disabled children. Know why she was a good one? Because she is the bloodiest bleeding heart screamingly liberal empathetic person this side of planet earth.

      this side of planet earth.

      Is… is she not on earth?

      That would explain her empathy. Earthlings tend to lack it.

        Strategic peaceful resistance is the way. It seems counterintuitive but you get more participation which is really key and it lowers the bar for people to move to your side because it’s not a matter of life and death it’s just a matter of not doing what they were doing before.

          Exactly, you need to come off as the good guys and the ordinary majority. Violence turns people off unless they’re pretty invested

            What I’m implying is that you are not necessarily just coming off as the good guys because in my mind the bad guys want to do violence and the good guys typically kind of don’t

            Of course I have to edit this immediately to say that politicians aren’t the good guys it doesn’t matter what side they’re on

              Yeah, a desire for violence has fomented in the left and it’s hard to condemn as someone here in it because it’s in many ways “stop stepping on the snake”. We’ve watched people march with swastikas, we’re seeing dehumanization of marginalized groups, we’ve protested against police violence, and now masked government agents are taking people to detention camps. And that’s not touching on the climate issue.

              I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I want no more violence, but that feels off the table. The left is arming because we’re fucking terrified. The queer left in particular has reason to fear. But I’m increasingly seeing the need for pacifists, nonviolent resistance, and people who can talk to people who don’t agree with us yet.

              What I desperately want is for all people to be free to live as they choose and to have enough.

                It’s easy enough for me to condemn because it’s not a good strategy. When violence erupts the more brutal will win. Guess who’s more brutal.

          The appeal of peaceful compromise only exists with the fear of uncompromising, violent extremists.

    I believe he was mormon. They are all far right, “not usually” violent, but far right. Hopefully just an outlier, but they are raised to be suspicious of anyone not mormon. That degree of extremism and paranoia could be problematic.

        My wife was born and raised Mormon. When I first learned he was Mormon I looked at her and said blood atonement. Her whole face changed and she said, “better for one man to die, than a whole nation to perish”.

        So apparently this is a big part of Mormonism and how they rationalized their violent actions back in the day.

    This one didn’t work. I think they need to stage the next one to be sure the shooter appears to be leftist. I predict, next year, during the mid-term campaigns, there will be a staged assassination of a Republican candidate.

    Apparently they are saying that since he was close to a trans person (presumably the roommate who helped authorities identify his Discord messages) that it doesn’t matter. Just look at the conservative sub on reddit, the one moderated by the guy who enjoys running psyops with the most narcissistic psychopaths in Eve Online. I seriously believe idiots are deliberately being led by the most narcissistic psychopaths in the nation, and the reason Eve Online is such a tell is because it attracts them in droves, specially the ones who’ve made their leisure time be about moderating its material and enjoying carrying out psyops against people. It’s what money attracts because in their world view everything is arguable - it’s just a matter of skill, with objective facts being shit to them.

    Don’t worry, reddit has made sure to hide their comment history and the subs they moderate, so hell if you will ever know or be able to verify.

      I briefly got into Eve when the science and exploration path got added, but I bounced off largely due to the player base. Why go out and find rare blueprints just so assholes can use them to grief people. Eventually you realize the only way to win is not to play.

    MAGAts awfully quiet all of a sudden.

    Mace went from “democrats must own this” to “Jesus save this lost individual” on cue.

    The last fact published by the media was that Kirk had died.

    Everything since has just been hot garbage peddled by the hot garbage paddlers cabal.

    Urgh. Anything for an advertisement impression.
