Don’t those guys pretty much always have some kind of manifesto though? It seems strange to give your life over to a political act, and then make sure no-one knows what your politics are

I have a theory that he meant to make Trump a martyr and rile up the right in some way, Helter Skelter kind of thing, in which case it would make sense not to explain what he's doing.

It would have been really funny to read a right winger pretend to be a dem shooter in their manifesto though.

Wasn’t yamagami like, “I don’t like the guy, his weirdo cultists friends fucked up my mom”

That's actually a really clear and well articulated motive. "He stole my money so I killed him." Is as reasonable as it gets.

Yeah, but I don’t get the feeling that the dude saw his struggle and ultimate decision to assassinate Abe as political. Our analysis ties up what happened to him with American imperialism and the use of far right religious extremists to exert control over East Asia. His reading was “Fuck that guy”

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
