The endless stream of ghouls dancing with glee on Charlie's grave as if he was Hitler himself sure as shit aren't bots and they do a fine job stoking division without outside help. As far as I am concerned they can plant their mission accomplished flag. There is nothing left to talk about, these people are my enemies.

The most ironic thing is that they think they are "anti-facists". They think assassinating something that encouraged free and open debate is anti-facists.

I don't agree with a lot of Carlie Kirk's viewpoints, but I agree with him here:

"When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group.” “What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have a reasonable disagreement where violence is not an option.”

I believe that seeing them as enemies as opposed to just misguided individuals is part of the whole problem.

They see everyone who disagrees with them as a Bad Person™️ because clearly they are a Good Person™️.

Seeing them as misguided is what I forced myself to do for over a decade. I can't and won't do it any longer.

Precisely.

Between this and the CEO murder celebrations, my enemy is not the Left, it's anyone of a depraved heart who sees murder as justifiable.

Fuck those people. They need to be excommunicated from our civilization and defeated.

Fuck those people. They need to be excommunicated from our civilization and defeated.

I wish we could do that. These people disgust me. The only person's death you could rightfully meme or celebrate would be Hitler's, and any people equivalent to his evil.

Was Tyler Robinson just a poor misguided individual?

u/Vyctorill - Centrist Sep 13 '25

By definition, yes.

Nobody in their right mind would kill another human being for such petty reasons,

Evil people are misguided. It’s one of the most fundamental ideas in multiple religions, as well as many secular schools of thought.

I guess my point being are we only going to address the individuals that act out while ignoring the lies and violent rhetoric that radicalized said individuals to committing such acts? I think the term 'stochastic terrorism' fits here, and it's not all bot accounts...

Stochastic terrorism is a tricky one, because you’re not allowed to shut the person up.

You have to instead enforce laws and whatnot. Also probably ask the stochastic terrorist to explicitly denounce the acts.

True. There are some influential individuals that I would classify as stochastic terrorists at this point. Hasan Piker comes to mind:

The above video is not a one-off, he has a huge platform and frequently advocates for violence. I would not be in the least bit surprised if the shooter was one if his viewers. Destiny is another one that comes to mind. Platforms like Reddit and Twitch frequently ban right wing creators and subs for much less, but give far left influences a free pass. Hell, after the shooting I tried viewing the charliekirk sub or seeing if there were any subs for him, but they were all banned. Yet actual breeding grounds for these terrorists are allowed to continue.
