      I can’t tell if they think Ottoboy empire is a right wing troll, or if this is a right winger who thinks hexbears are nazis, or something else.

          That’s not a right wing troll, check their profile. They’re just keeping us honest because we (and I’ve been doing it a lot myself) have been doing some pretty bad mental gymnastics to find ways to avoid the most likely explanation of this whole ordeal: Charlie Kirk got got by someone who didn’t like him for his bigotry, not a groyper or someone radicalized by O9A/764/some nazi group.

            Regardless, it was done by a white kid from a MAGA family who was apparently into guns.

            It’s always been as simple as that. The right makes it complex, and then the whole discussion becomes complex.

            You’re just wasting time playing Devil’s advocate, what a god damn waste.

            Thanks for the clarification. I guess that’s why everyone here just picks fights with each other.

            I don’t understand the need to play Devil’s advocate, still. Like why. It’s just sowing divisiveness.

              We’re not playing devil’s advocate, we just have a materialist outlook on the world and don’t believe the world works like you do. Our priorities are different because we think different things are important. We are under no illusion that any “list” released would contain the full truth or result in any consequences for the ruling class. We understand how the world works, and it doesn’t result in magical consequences for the rulers without first a revolution.

              You are putting the cart before the horse. You want the consequences for the rich pedos before we have power. Screaming into the void won’t accomplish anything, we have to actually take the power first before doing anything

              In regards to the discussion of the politics of the Charlie Kirk shooter - the correct answer is to say “who fucking cares” not quibble over semantics endlessly trying to assess if we get points or lose points for him being on our “team”. He’s a lone individual actor, not connected to any movement, and his politics are irrational and pointless to discern. The Charlie Kirk shooting is the death of one asshole out of tens of thousands that die in the US every year from gun violence. The correct response to all this should be a giant fart noise, not making convoluted mental gymnastics why this guy is actually a groyper.
