    Ok, and? While he is yet another right leaning guy that chose violence it doesn’t seem like this was a political killing but rather a guy who hated LDS.

    Another good example of low quality information streams culminating in an explosive brand of dissonance. I expect more chaos of this sort, as we deepen the idiocracy, and people go mad trying to reconcile their ideologies with reality.

    I do see the logic in those atop the hierarchy pushing faith-based ideologies ahead of climate calamity. Should Project 2025 continue apace, I’m very curious to see how the various denominations respond to rapid environmental change. I expect a lot of them to lose it like this guy and fight it out. On the other hand, I could also see “faith” providing the blinders needed for a larger population to persist a bit longer. The faithful are also more likely to sacrifice themselves, so it could be an effective population control lever to pull at some point, i.e. Snow Crash.

      It’s higher than 85%. The data shows it’s 95-100% depending on the year. 2022 saw 100% of mass shootings were done by Republicans.

        I’m sure they’ll find bullet casings with ANTIFA messages written on them (suspiciously in Kash Patel’s handwriting)

          Did they ever release photos of the casings from Kirk’s shooting? Cuz I don’t believe that part for a second.

            Interpretations of the manufacturer’s trademark, with which they will annotate a photo of the casings and then claim that they were written on the casings all along. It’s true because it’s on the photo.

    There’s no mystery here. During the 2024 campaign Trump promised the militias a race war - he didn’t deliver because war puts oligarch wealth at risk. Now magas’ are taking things in their own hands. That’s why Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk: he was trying to kick start the civil war. Trump is desperately trying to appear war like for his base, while protecting his money.

    Remember back when we could all agree that people who murder other people were likely mentally unwell and didn’t immediately look to see who they voted for. Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

      It’s because the right is desperate to throw off the well earned shade that they cause the vast majority of gun-related violence. It’s almost as if conservatives, who are obsessed on only have their world view validated through the the news, get violent when the world doesn’t agree with them.

      One of my favorite quotes I’ve seen brought up “you don’t have to be evil/crazy to kill someone. You just have to believe you’re right.” - Yoko Taro

      Not that it’s an excuse for anything. This also smells of religion. And people kill in the name of religion all the time.

          I don’t believe it is. I think that’s rather reductive considering how much it’s impacted human culture over history.

            I should have clarified.

            Fanatical religious belief is virtually indistinguishable from mental illness to my eyes.

      I looked at a random idiot’s profile in that thread saying “we should be focusing on thoughts and prayers, not placing blame on politics etc…”. Obviously a few days ago he was blaming “radical leftists”. Shocked Pikachu face

      They get so close to putting the pieces together. One commenter said they were pro-union, because people can’t make as much money as they used to (“a janitor in the '60s could support a family, vacations, etc” to paraphrase the commenter). Kind of missing that unions and pro-worker efforts are a big part of why society had gotten to that point of wages, job security, etc.
