    Killed by a straight, non-trans and white man on a school campus. In a way, that met all his conditions.

    He was literally killed for being not far-right enough. They still blame the left. No conclusive logic detected anywhere in the right politosphere

      Not sure about this. There’s been more information coming out and I was team Groyper on his ideology but he may have just done an about face after living with his trans roommate (who is cooperating with police, and shocked he did this).

      Quoting AP here:

      Cox said the suspect’s partner was transgender, which some politicians have pointed to as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk for his anti-trans views. But authorities have not said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson’s motive.

      “The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female,” Cox said. “I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening.”

        Fuck Cox. That asshole literally prayed that he’d be able to blame it on an immigrant. The original story was that he lived with his father, then suddenly a trans person appeared from out of nowhere.

        The only thing I’ve seen linking their roomate to “transness” is a single Instagram makeup filter photo. Not exactly conclusive evidence.

        “They were trans”

        “Their roomate was trans”

        Anything to attach this to queers and not to the alt right.

      I saw a comment a while ago that called it myth making. It stuck with me for some reason. They don’t have a reality. They have right wing mythos.

      What’s astounding to me is how innate that is. How can one process stimulus and information. Then filter it through a second layer of myth crafting.

      At least to me reality is what reality is. I don’t take in information and then think how can I gymnastic this into my mythology. How is anyone even like that??? The right seems to do it reflexively.

        Mythmaking is a central component of fascism. It’s an idealogy built upon convenient lies, for the sake of essentially collecting paychecks.

      cant blame the far right, which your party depends on for supporter, unless you want to alienate your own voters. thats how simple republicans are. the right does not like change or a paradigm shift in thier way of life(they are like cats cant handle change well)

    Except he was shot for not being disparaging enough to immigrants, women, and black folks.

      Do we know that? I think it’s still too early to establish a motive. Unless something new came out that I’m not aware of.

    TIL Kirk’s neck was one of the whitest places on earth. And he would have loved to hear that.
