He also quoted an old Italian anti-fascist song, Bella Ciao.
Whether he's an anarchist, Marxist, or Nazi, it's clear he was terminally online and steeped in meme culture.
Of course, that's about as helpful these days as saying someone uses dating apps.
He could be antifa, or at least a radicalized nihilist with those sympathies. He did etch into his bullets a mix of furry memes and anti-fascist messaging.
Or maybe he did this as part of a dollar store false flag operation, because he is a far-right extremist. We just don't have enough information to be certain, yet.
I will say that he certainly fits the profile of a right ring terrorist: young, white male, Christian, proficient marksman, terminally online, and the son of a long time police officer.
So in your opinion this is going to result in nothing different happening?
Well I think you're wrong, but guess what, we both get to find out together soon enough.
Sure, that's absolutely a real possibility.
Again, I'm not making any judgments on the actions taken today, just pointing out that there will be significant escalatory responses from the Trump admin.
The argument would have been not to kill Charlie Kirk in the first place, but that ship has sailed, so...
Whatever's going to happen as a result, is going to happen, whether or not his death is celebrated online.
And why would any reprisals have to be targeted to Utah..?
This event will be used to justify all sorts of escalatory measures that weren't feasible for Trump yesterday.
But you don't have to believe me, we're going to get to watch it happen together real soon.
Again, I'm not even making a moral judgment about any of this. I'm just stating that objectively this is going to significantly amp up all of the fascist tendencies of this administration, and the right-wing in general - which will have real and political consequences.
Unless there's something about Trump that leads you to believe he won't take full advantage of the situation?
And that's objectively true.
I never said anything about what should, or shouldn't be done, or any other moral judgment on his assassination.
However, if you look at my comment history, I think you'll see my views on his death are pretty clear.
But none of that changes the fact that Trump will escalate as a result of this.
Tell your nurse friend not to worry, Big C is No Hospital Gang.
I don't understand your point.
Why would Trump care about Democrats being killed?
This isn't about moral equivalency, or what's right, it's about what's going to happen next.
He essentially declared martial law in DC because one of his twerps got hassled, how do you think this goes?
I don't think it's controversial to point out the obvious.
Don't kid yourself, whatever they were going to do, is going to taken up a few notches.
However you feel about his dying, the manner of his death will absolutely change what happens next.
Lots of farmers with lots of livestock that depend on vaccinations. They know that shit works.
