Jesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.

    right-wing nutjob

    Didn’t he directly criticize Kirk as being hateful shortly before the shooting? Where’s this coming from?

    Agreed that Steam is a really stupid place to be looking for anything of substance.

    Well, maybe the fact that he left a negative review for a game he has over 2000 hours in signifies derangement on some level, if not political, lol.

      He was an active groyper.

      The Groyper War began in the fall of 2019, when Fuentes and his followers launched a social media campaign targeting Turning Point USA’s “Culture War” college tour, led by Charlie Kirk. Motivated by the firing of a Fuentes ally and other conflicts, Groypers disrupted college events by asking provocative questions on immigration, Israel, and LGBT rights to challenge mainstream conservative figures like Kirk, Donald Trump Jr., and Ben Shapiro, whom they labeled “Conservative Inc.” for deviating from their far-right views.

      This is also why Ben Shapiro went into hiding shitting himself.

        This is pretty much the opposite of what Robinson did, so…what are you talking about?

        Also, groypers didn’t criticize Kirk because he ‘spreads too much hate’—if anything, they think he’s not extreme enough. Another direct contradiction.

        I think you’re believing what you want to believe, not what the evidence points to.

      Do you mean those totally legit messages that totally didn’t sound like it was a mix of someone from the 60s and cop speak? Or did he criticize somewhere else?

          My only bias in the situation is not trusting cops, espescially Trumps justice department and Patel’s FBI.

          If you look for any information outside of what the administration says and what the news repeats, you will see many people believe it was fabricated. People who are the same age as him say it doesn’t read plausibly, people on the far right say it sound like anything they have read, leftists say it sounds like no kid they have come across, people who study linguistics say it doesn’t match someone his age, especially someone who spent as much time online as him.

          It’s just super fishy, and I would be skeptical no matter who was in charge. I think a healthy dose of skepticism is important in today’s environment. We will find out more when this comes up in court.
