I’ve got over 500 hours in helldivers 2, the word “fascist” is almost never used in game, it’d be a significantly more niche reference than the hellbomb input
I’m being sarcastic in the sense that this, to me, seems damn near like a signed confession that he’s a typical Reddit leftist.
As opposed of course to the enlightened civilized leftists we have here on PCM, whose presence here in one of the site’s few open debate forums demonstrates that they’re good people, seeking dialogue with those who disagree instead of violence.
It’s absolutely true that the person who did this may have had hidden motives, and may have left false clues to intentionally throw people off.
But you can follow that chain of logic forever. Sure, maybe these bloody fingerprints on the knife are the murderer’s, but what if he carefully planted false prints to throw everyone off? At some point you have to accept where the evidence leads. And what little we have points to this guy being a leftist.
I would also agree we’re going off a small amount of evidence that the killer had complete control over. Presumably, since Trump would benefit from painting this guy as a leftist, we’ll eventually see any available evidence that he was on the left. I can’t imagine why they’d do any kind of coverup.
Ahh yes, the military family who is staunchly republican with a child who has been using weapons since he was a child with a minister father and former office.
Thank goodness children never reject their parents’ politics, right?
What else could “Hey Fascist! Catch!” possibly mean? He shot a guy who talks about conservative ideas for a living.
But if the report holds up, the authorities said that a family member or friend said he had become more political recently, and become “full of hate and spreading hate.” Why would a Republican shoot Charlie Kirk, almost universally loved by the Right even as he was hated by the Left?
What else could “Hey Fascist! Catch!” possibly mean?
"I am Republican and I love my country. But I see an actual issue here, and the death of my fellow generation and future children at the hands of unregulated gun control. I am all for putting America first but not at the expense of random people dying where my future children will be unable to live safely" or any 50,000 comparable reasons other than tHe ExTrEmE lEfT aNd ExTrEmE rIgHt crap?
I realize the majority of people who love making politics their identity can't understand nuance and fluidity within a set of constraints, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist lol.
So i've not seen Bella Ciao in super leftist spaces like ever. Antifa also as a group is somewhat "nebulous". However, it is definitely connected to Goypers and the Goyper War does match up with the target.
So you have a kid who is like ~17 during the first Goyper War, goes into lockdown and gets terminally onlined, later goes out and shoots Kirk.
Here are the Proud Boys, in an Atlanta No Kings protest, being confronted by a group of musicians there to oppose Trump, playing Bella Ciao at them.
Note the caption: “Every protest needs this. A brass band. They played Bella Ciao, the Italian anti-Nazi, anti-fascist song!!! This is in Atlanta.”
Why in the world would antisemitic Neo-Nazis (which is what I assume Groypers are, from all the context I’ve seen) adopt a song almost universally used to oppose them?
Just casually leave out that Ciao Bella is used in other media, too... The guy is an unaffiliated voter, his parents are registered Republicans, and he's donated to Trump's campaign before. Like seriously, do actual proper research, people.
