That's exactly why kirk must rest in piss

[-] ILikeTraaaains@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

I’m a bit lost. Wasn’t the killer a far right dude who disliked Kirk and MAGA for not being far right enough/in the same ways as him?

Can someone get me up to date?

[-] gbzm@piefed.social 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I was also under the same impression, but it seems to have grown less clear?

In any case, Kirk enjoyers have never been known to let facts get in the way of their hate

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 5 months ago

Hearing that old dude read the messages was pretty fucking telling that they are making that shit up. No kid, especially a terminally 4chan one, talks like that. Maybe the stuff about the wrapping of the weapon and where he left it, but no kid is talking like a WWII love sick soldier stuck overseas.

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 3 points 5 months ago

Careful. Confirmation bias makes it exceptionally easy to come up with reasons to disbelieve things that don’t fit what we presume about a topic.

I think it’s fair to say we don’t know the shooter’s motivations for sure. Being confident that the shooter was far right just because his family is seems just as terrible a conclusion to jump to. How many of us have conservative families we disagree with?

Yes, but the fascist blamed it on trans people before the blood hit the floor.

[-] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

We have no idea why he killed Kirk. He is not going to talk because they said they would execute him before they caught him. The shooter now has no reason to cooperate.

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The only actual evidence we’ve been shown is that he was largely apolitical but grew up in a MAGA family, and at some point in time began disliking CK, possibly due to a pendulum swing against his hard right family after moving out. There’s no real evidence to support that he was hard right or hard left, or in fact had any strong political affiliations. Only that he disliked the guy he shot enough to shoot him.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 1 points 5 months ago

I don't think so. That's what a lot of people were speculating. But seems like he mostly grew up in a MAGA family, but was queer himself, so a bit alienated from the MAGA movement due to the homophobia within it and mostly stayed out of talking about politics with his friends. Seems like he mostly just saw Kirk as a danger to himself and those he loved because of Kirk doing things like promoting violence against queer people.

Source claiming Tyler was bisexual. Obviously not definitive evidence, but its not like they can do a blood test and prove his sexuality or something - they best you are likely to get is his friends saying he was or was not.

I wasn't referencing him dating someone who is allegedly trans, since a man dating a woman wouldn't be evidence of not being an allocishet. OTOH, if his lover is not trans, then it would be evidence that he isn't straight.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago

He was allegedly in a relationship with his roommate, who may be trans.

It doesn't matter what he believed, they have blamed it on the left so it's now the left's fault

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

they blame everything on the left.

Surprised they havent blamed trump having to climb up an escalator as an elaborate antifa terrorist attack on the sanctity of american decency.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Oh they definitely tried too, Fox News was talking about bombing the UN headquarters. It just happened to come out pretty quick that the dumb shits did it to themselves.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

They actually did

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Doesn't matter. That first dopamine hit about trans "rhetoric" got him and that is all his tiny little Texas brain needed. America is a giant puddle of gasoline and the regime here keeps flicking lit matches at it.

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Facts are irrelevant to these people. They trust nobody's word beyond those who affirm what they want to believe.

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Conclusions drawn from evidence and the testimony from friends suggested that he leaned libertarian without taking an explicit political position.

[-] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

That ol' boy looks like he ate the guy who ate all the pies. His blood sugar must have been low, he was just hangry. If only someone had given him a Snickers.

[-] teft@piefed.social 1 points 5 months ago

He needs a diet and workout routine, not a snickers.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I’m 42 and have been struggling with mental health issues since I was a teenager. But seeing and hearing all of the maga talk and conspiracy’s makes me realize that I’ve had my shit together this whole time.

As a reminder to anybody of any age that is suffering with mental health issues, remember that you are loved and needed and every day might be a struggle, but just getting up and putting 1 foot in front of the other is more than enough to achieve a goal.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 4 points 5 months ago

I thought that I was a fairly low-tier human for a long time. The Trump Regime has forced me to reevaluate. I am a decent person.

That is disturbing.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I remember stumbling on creationist debunks back in middle school and coming to the conclusion that I may be a dumbass but at least I ain't completely delusional and a dumbass. This whole BS with the right wingers being fucking deranged and stupid has done wonders for my deranged mixed inferiority/superiority complex.

[-] jdf038@mander.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

Same here. Those who are open to changing and dealing with it and doing the work can go really really far, too.

I wish guys like this weren't stigmatized from admitting they need help, asking for it, and working on themselves.

That one, single downvote like, "say it ain't so! You take that back!" 🤣

[-] chiocciola@lemmy.cafe 7 points 5 months ago

The media did this on purpose

Charlie would have been very proud

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Every single mass shooter has been claimed to be trans by Alex Jones for the past like 3 years. Before any evidence is out, 4chan posters will find a random trans persons social media profile, grab pictures and post them claiming they are the shooter. They claim that psych meds (like anti depressants) and hormones fuck with your head in a way that makes you crazy and wanting to shoot people.

This shit is on purpose to inspire dumbasses like this guy.

[-] chilldrivenspade@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

i know some of these far right conspiracy-minded fools. nothing can break them out of their delusion.

Without guns, this would just be aome out of breath guy who's trying to chase gay people while they make fun of him

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Charlie who? I thought that rage-du-jour was past its 15 minutes.

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

He's facing federal charges?

So, you mean that he'll be let free. I'm calling it now. They're going to try and paint him as a victim of political targeting by "woke" agents. Goofy Eyes Patel will then dismiss the charges and fire the agents.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Another MAGAt that looks like ISIS but with white skin.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Vanilla Isis

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

No ISIS guys weigh 400lb and wheeze to their gun safes.

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Charlie wouldn't have wanted this! Oh, wait, charlie kirk? Yeah, he'd have wanted this. Disregard.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 5 months ago

There has to be some kind of action taken against inbreeding

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Boy too heavy to move quick enough to snuff a snail

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

Super bummed about all the fellowship’n afterChurch down at the Golden Corral. Prison may bring our big boy down a few kilos. The Lard works in mysterious weighs.
