    Interesting how I just got done mentioning in another thread that they essentially just flip the truth on its head and start talking. Pretty much just the direct opposite of the truth all the time.

      He’s such a whiny little bitch that he thinks committing crime in GTA is immoral. Meanwhile he commits tons of crime every single day, but it’s white collar so no big deal.

    These people are going through the stages of grief.

    First they were in denial he was shot, now they are angry, soon they will bargain for blood. Then one by one become depressed with acceptance.

    Such is life

        I think the reason for the outrage is they are getting treated like progressives and can’t handle it.

        The worst part is these right wing psychos won’t see the violence is happening on both sides and instead blame “communists” or something like that

    Fuck, it would be so pathetically hilarious for the second American civil war to start over Charlie fucking Kirk of all people. It’d be like if WW1 started because the pet fish of the wife of the cousin of the Archdike’s brother was shot.

    They havent even caught the shooter… they dont even know they are a leftist.

    They could be, likely are, but it doesnt matter. If it turns out to have been someone on the right or someone from outside the US political spectrum it will be swept under the rug.

    The right are hijacking this to spread propaganda. Utter bollocks

      It won’t matter at that point either. They started telling a story from the start and the amount of times it gets repeated in pursuit of their ambitions will eclipse the truth when it comes out. It isn’t like they’re all going make posts saying, ‘Zoinks guys we were wrong. It wasn’t the dems like we’ve been saying with no evidence because it was convenient, for all these weeks. Put the torches and pitchforks down.’ the narrative lives on long after the facts become known. It’s literally why facts in media actually mattered at one point.

      It’s not even likely. I was born in 1980 there have been thousands of mass shootings since then in the US. Two of the shooters in the last 45 years had leftist tendencies. The vast majority of them were hard line right wingers.

      WSJ published a story this morning reporting that “sources” claim they found a hunting rifle in the woods and unspent ammo that had “trans and antifa ideology” written on them.

      If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.

      I noticed on Reddit. Within a half hour boys and Fox News along with other right wing voices were already pushing a very extreme anti leftist propaganda across the board. Before he was even announced dead and obviously before anyone even knew who the shooter was.

      It was so wild to see it happen live as if it was an ad campaign that was planned for release.

      They are using it to advocate for significantly more violence. I don’t really want to advocate for violence but what else can you do if people are trying to remove your rights?

      Oh yeah, blockades and general strikes would be a good one to try first. Fuck, even property damage is better than killing people.

        For whatever reason it’s near impossible to act as a group in this country. The bigger the movement the bigger the target and oligarchy rallies and kills it in it’s crib. The economic and propaganda stranglehold is too tight.

        And so individual acts that can be planned and executed under the oligarchy’s radar (like what happened yesterday) are seemingly the only things left.

        That’s why they are pushing the surveillance shit hard.

      Absolutely they do. If America falls to civil war, it’s sphere of influence contracts and Russia becomes more powerful in that vacuum.

      Well, I kind of want it as well. Honestly, the political ideals are too divided. I dont want to live in the same country with MAGA. Divide the country up or get rid of one of the political ideals.

      the influencers are all russian shills to begin with, its was kinda obvious they were very quiet the past few months about epstein, the more they try to rail on it the more people want it released. i was on reddit prior tulsi being confirmed and the ban waves, and someone was "how she is a russian shill, i was like what planet are you on, shes been one since '16

      They do incrementally worse things while criticizing any over reaction. It’s literally what Putin does geopolitically. Enough to make progress but always under the threshold of a meaningful response. Incremental changes are much easier to accept than big moves. Its only when they are confident or desperate that a big move happens.
