    Yeah, it’s the online forums and gaming communities that radicalized me and not the legion of drooling idiots destroying my country at the direction (or at least to the delight) of foreign adversaries. Good job, detective.

      Elon sieg heilling twice and then signal boosting facists and illegally cutting democratically approved and institutionally valid spending, that hasn’t radicalized anyone.

      Totally normal behavior.

      It’s gotta be the video games and the dark web. What’s dark web? It is any web space I don’t know about. Duh.

      I am not a fan of a few billionaires locking up every freedom we used to have so they can keep trucking toward the world’s first trillionaire.

    Besides stating the obvious, in that this government is corrupt, and that the killer was a right-wing nut, there is one thing a ton of these people don’t understand.

    Most people aren’t celebrating the killing of Kirk. Most people are celebrating that his incredibly provocative narrative, that violently rallied the fascists together, won’t be spread at the source anymore

      Do I want people to die? Nope. Live forever, or of old age or whatever. Do I want people to stop belittling others and spreading hatred and lies and for them to cease it forever? Yes. Do I wish that Kirk saw the light or the end of a gravy train and apologized publicly and disavowed all his bs? I wanted this more than anything. I would also love to see the other propagandists and conspiracists maybe think hard about consequences of their actions and cease their lies, but I live in the real world, unlike them.

      Not supporting the killing of Kirk, supporting the death of Kirk. It’s a small but important difference.

    I hope they all say the same thing:

    Shit rolls down hill. You’re the hill DC. Fox news and the media are the hill. We’re the ditch where the people congregate in and drown in your shit.

        It shuts down Truth social and all social networks. YouTube stops allowing uploads, the fediverse closes up shop, cats and dogs living together.

          It doesn’t shut the Fediverse; it just means each user needs to run their own instance so that the “user” doing the speech and the “publisher” liable for it are one in the same.

            Ah, good point. I guess things would rapidly re-form in the favor of the fediverse if this law was overturned…

            Sounds like a monkey paw situation to me!

        Like everything else, the same laws and rules they have hidden behind to justify and protect their absolute dogshit behavior will be the first things the regime will get rid of for protecting anyone other than their in-group.

        Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    No Twitter / X or Truth Social? Is this actually a “why aren’t you doing more to radicalize your online forum users towards our ideology” ?

      Right wing influencers and pundits are calling for war and killings as we speak.

      We’ll see how they will be investigated.
