this country isn’t ready for what the youngest online male zoomers are like lol. i’m a millennial but i’ve been here the whole time watching cultures come and go and the memelord nihilist has been growing since ‘04. there are many variations and they range from sad and pathetic yet ultimately harmless to sad and pathetic and goddamn dangerous. these people can have a mixture of politics and usually prefer whatever has the most public condemnation so they can align themselves with immorality as a point of pride which becomes their identity. fuck having your own beliefs, just follow whatever gets the most negative response from society.
It’s the way disempowerment interacts with tribalism and a saturated obviously polarized media environment.
This is only gonna get stupider. The cure is giving people agency over their lives, authorship over their world. Make the things they believe actually fucking matter.
is that like “black-pilled”?
Shocking that a terminally online 22 year old doesn’t have a consistent ideology.
I saw a comment on instagram from someone saying Charlie Kirk had had some “powerful comments” in his videos. Checked the profile and there was a ton of pro-environment, anti-cop content. Most people don’t think super hard about their political ideology.
My initial impression of his writings hit me as either Groyper posing as a leftist, or just a accelerationist psychopath.
Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that right-wing extremism makes up the majority of violence.
If the Discord is real, he seemed like a pretty normal guy. Apparently he was bisexual, and his girfriend might’ve been trans. According to the source at least. I don’t know any groypers, so I don’t know how they act, but I don’t think that they’re normally fine with that sort of thing. Somewhere else said that he claimes to have done it to silence the hate that Kirk spewed, which is a fair enough reason I guess. Lots of contradictory info. Maybe he was a groyper that woke up after meeting his girlfriend. Maybe he just did it for attention. Maybe he just snapped. I’m just hoping for the best, that he did it for a decent enough reason, not to start a race war. We might even find out, if he isn’t Epsteined.
We might find out, but will anybody care?
I think a lot of people like to call people like him psychopaths, but what should a person who has no hope for the future be called when they use their life for something incredibly good like removing Kirk from the world?
I don’t think he’s crazy. I think he’s the new normal.
How crazy would it be if we found out he did it for love?
…to impress Jodie Foster.
That’s honestly what I’m thinking it is. He was supposedly dating a trans person and Kirk is a real POS when it comes to that topic so I could imagine him loving his partner so much that he felt the need to kill someone he sees as making life more dangerous for them.
Listen, as someone who fell in love with a trans woman decades ago (my ex), it’s more plausible than you’d think. I didn’t go shoot up people since I wasn’t raised right wing, but love does make you do crazy things!
You mean…they’re not transgender?! Who’d thunk it?!
Just mark one up against the stupid “a lot” response Kirk made when asked how many transgender shooters are out there.
Did they just learn about nuance and that practically nothing in life is strictly black and white?
did they just learn about nuance
No. You’d be able to tell by how on fire they were.
The people who need to learn a lesson will never change their minds. The “Change My Mind” crowd are not there to have their mind changed, it’s to try to change those who are weaker and not able to come up with conclusions on their own.
Precisely. They’re a thought-filter. They want to weed out the ones who can prove them wrong and only address the ones who’re aligned with their set of beliefs.
I’ve been following all the news on him and he’s clearly a trans groyper antifa gun enthusiast centrist who likes to play Helldivers II.
(/s)
I’m not one to condemn people on grounds of ideological purity, but didn’t helldivers pull some super-proprietary registration and telemetry bullshit?
And it was a professional hit. And it was done by Trump as a distraction. And to cause a race war. And to stop Kirk from spreading hate.
You thought that right- and left-wing extremists are the problem, turns out the center-extremists are /s
What makes a man turn neutral? A lust for gold? Power? Or was he just born with a heart full of neutrality?
These radical centrists are messed up in the brain, left and right can agree to that at least. (We’re all fucked!)
That is who seems to be most into ‘propaganda of the deed’ these days. They don’t really have anything else.
When the grillers grill back!
Does Helldiver’s 2 have game chat? Discord seems tame so far.
It does have a game chat. Hardly anyone uses it. Also I don’t think he’s that big on helldivers since he did ⬆️ ➡️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️, when he should have done ➡️ ➡️ ⬆️ or ➡️ ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ➡️
“An Eagle never misses” though. Tough choice.
Fuck that. I can’t get E1 to land 2 rockets on the hulk with my strategem beacon stuck on it’s face.
Fuggin’ turn it over, or let us fall through the grate. We’re already burnt to a crisp.
