It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

The one obvious thing is the shooter was raised steeped in gun culture and nobody on the news seems to want to have that conversation.

White people, finding out a shooter is white, after hundreds of years of terrorizing each other, Black people, and POC:
a close up of a man 's face with blue eyes and a serious look on his face .

General disclaimer, I am familiar enough with Groypers to say some general stuff with a fair degree of competence but I have never actively monitored them in any intense way.
Mostly because Nick Fuentes is just SO fucking annoying

Probably 80%of Americans…”WHO the fork is Charlie Kirk?” Then they read what he has actually said and wonder “What the fork is wrong with these people?”

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

I think it's time to admit that our entire planet is at active war with fascism. And that the war is existential, not just for minorities, for everyone.

The way the UK legacy media is fawning all over the (violent) death of a fringe far right speaker from a different country, is highly revealling of the direct & indirect funding network from USA right wing evangelical money to UK newspapers & the power that legacy media holds over UK politics.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did
I haven’t seen one news channel show a clip of him speaking in the last 4 hours

The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting.
The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

A local poet came into the bookshop earlier. She kept saying things like, "You wouldn't understand, but as an author..." and "Being an author gives me a unique perspective..."
I didn't have the heart to point out my four most recent novels on the shelf behind her, and just smiled and nodded instead.
