It’s amazing how openly people state they have no principles without realizing it.

You’re gonna pull a hammy goose stepping this hard

lol they were literally threatened by Trump’s FCC.

Such a bizarre fixation on people different from you when the guy who *actually* did it (probably) looks a lot like you - white, Christian, non-college educated male studying to be an electrician. And there's that conservative fantasy of political violence again.

It's also wrong. It's a code from the video game Helldivers 2. You press the arrows in succession to drop the biggest bomb in the game. This has been well-established by now.

Poor little Jimmy foiled by reality once again

Cite* Yes you did. This is the article that reported the friend quote. They have retracted it. You now have no evidence that “his friend said he’s a leftist.”

Do you have object permanence?

It’s a screenshot from the article YOU ARE CITING

I’ve just gotten word that according to an anonymous source who knew Jimmy in high school that he’s long been a supporter of pedophilia. His screen name is an ode to his hero Jimmy Saville and he’s continuing the fight by staunchly defending Donald Trump’s association with Jeffrey Epstein.

Touché. I’d like to see an example of woke propaganda at an electricians college though.

The banning of lead paint does correlate closely with the drop in conservatism after gen x. Y’all were the last lead-poisoned generation

Lmfao come on dude. We’ve got woke electricians now?

And that was retracted by the journalists because it turns out that guy hasn’t spoken to him in years and didn’t know him very well in the first place.

Just a few years ago, a guy posted an anti-immigration/white nationalist manifesto online then walked into a Walmart in a predominately Latino area and shot 45 people, killing 23, almost all Latino. The Christ-Church massacre killer also posted an anti-immigration manifesto. The kid who shot up the Colorado school an hour after Charlie Kirk died also was a far-right white supremacist. Also, we still don’t even know the valence of the “fascist” engravings. The Groypers movement - to Kirk’s right - commonly referred to Kirk as a fascist. The Groypers also re-appropriated Bella Ciao for their politics. It’s on all sorts of far-right music playlists online. All the major newspapers have quietly retracted their claims that the kid was left-leaning after their sourcing turned out to be bogus. The text messages you cited earlier were fake, for example, as well as the supposed discord messages. Of course, no matter what we find out, you’ll refuse to believe it if it isn’t what you want to believe. And that’s the whole reason why the Right immediately ran with it and shouted that it was done by the left. They know their supporters well and that the truth doesn’t actually matter to them.

Again, the videos you’re seeing of liberals celebrating are being fed to you by an algorithm. You engage with posts that make conservatives angry and/or follow accounts who engage with those posts, so that’s what the algorithm shows you because in its logic that’s what you “like” to see. Only a tiny tiny fraction of the population posts on twitter. This is not representative of reality. Most of my colleagues are moderate liberals or conservatives. None of them were celebrating. And half of them didn’t even know it happened. Twitter is not real life.

Yeah this is completely different from every conservative in America casually calling the Democrats socialists and communists…..Conservatives compared Obama to Hitler for passing Obamacare lol.

That's the case for the vast majority of these cases. Trying to kill a famous political person is irrational. We shouldn't expect their reasons for doing so to be rational either.

Internet/Gaming culture. He was an internet troll who took the trolling into the real world. Trying to understand his motivation logically will melt your brain the same way the internet likely melted his.

I post quite a bit on other forums and am fairly well-known. Haven't posted on this one in a long time. I don't usually look at wrestling forums on here tbh. This is kind of sequestered as my politics outlet - which is good because I don't drain my energy over this stuff in my actual life.

I love wrestling. I keep my politics and my wrestling posting separate.

The game referenced in the engravings, Helldivers 2, is in the mold of Starship Troopers. The underlying joke or trap of the game is to see if players notice that they are enthusiastically fighting for a fascist regime - in the same way that the "good guys" in Starship Troopers are explicitly portrayed as Nazis. Like most of what we've found out, the shooter is engaging with heavily ironic internet content that is very typical of both far-right and left internet subcultures that congregate on platforms like Discord. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/the-united-nations-asked-helldivers-2-studio-arrowhead-if-itd-give-a-talk-on-psychological-manipulation-could-we-brainwash-an-entire-community-to-fight-for-a-fascist-state-would-we-be-okay-with-that-turns-out-yeah/ Of course, you might start to wonder how fun it’ll actually be once you consider the implications of dressing players up in fascist uniforms and calling them to arms under the banner of an imperial state to die, die, and die again in the name of democracy. "We asked ourselves, could we brainwash an entire community to fight for a fascist state? Would they? Would we be okay with that? And turns out, yeah, actually," Pilestedt said in his talk.

Succinct explanation of the internet origins of the engravings:
