I'm going to call it death button from now on. It makes it so more obvious: "everyone needs a death button, so that the good guys can press the button faster then the bad guys. This will lead to less deaths". Ridiculous thinking...
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.
Never trust initial reporting on an event like this. His name was associated legally with the address they shared, looks like he did confess to it privately.
Yeah, the circus around it is insanity, but you have to be able to adjust your view on an event as the truth comes out, even when it's as politically charged as this.
The story specifically includes documents (not the note, the PDF) with an (alleged) conversation between the suspect and his roommate on discord. Could be fake, but given anything you write on there is police accessible and he confessed, twice, at some point you have to admit it's a stretch not to believe it.
Thanks for making my point. You and the media believe everything the police tell you, despite how often police lie. I'm just asking you to bless credulous.
We don't know the facts. I'm only insulting you because it's fun.
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.
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)

It's also fun to refer to them accurately as "tools designed specifically for killing."
Jankatarch@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 334d
"Specifically for killing humans."

No, not necessarily. But it's interesting how almost everyone adds that mentally.

Hey, notice how I didn't make any claims?
You quoted the authorities with no corroborating evidence, and then a TMZ(🙄) story about a note that the police say existed but they can't produce.
You're a mark. Take your own advice.

Groypers being into femboys seems to be a thing

Being into trans women and/or femboys has been a chan thing for a long time.
KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 334d
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.
aow@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 333d
He was probably gay or pan but that's got nothing to do with him coming from MAGA background and snapping over the hate. That's the real story, here.

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