When leftists attack so few people (no, Charlie Kirk's shooter wasn't a leftist) that they just need to fake their own shit all the damn time.
Yes he was, and I dont really understand why anyone is making this an argument. If he was right wing, he would have loved Kirk. Everyone who knows him said he was holding very strong pro LGBT opinions, something an extremist right winger wouldnt. He was also dating a trans woman... I mean, need I go on?
Why the fuck are you all so bothered that this nutjob was one of yours??? Its not like youre an unhinged psycho as well, just because you share opinions.
"some of my best friends are black"-ass argument. he was literally a groyper, wtf are you smoking

Fucking pick mes... jesus.
The suspect has not made a comment on his political leanings. The only person who has is Utah Republican governor Spencer Cox, and republican president Donald Trump, neither of which are well known for their level headed honesty.
Nothing that I said is in dispute. So the question still stands, why do any of you care????
Because I'm an immigrant and green card holder and the current administration is adversarial towards people like me, and stoking those fires leads to a worse quality of life for me and my family.
And what does any of that have to do with the shooter??? Am I a speaking a different fucking language here? What does you being an immigrant have to do with whether of not the shooter was left or right wing???
The confidence you have to belittle the person you're responding to is called privilege - you comment without fear, and have provided 0 credible citations to your claims that he was pro-alphabet people. Don't just pretend to be judicious, it's pretty blatant. Dont @ me unless you have citations.
lol The pretentious have arrived...
Always a more pretentious fish in the pond, bruv. You're used to steamrolling others, aren't you? Be honest, we'll know if you're not.
You obviously can understand simple psychology that no one wants someone who commits a heinous crime to be on their side.. like it's not complicated why no one wants to claim him..
And yet that side was all to happy to take to the internet and cheer on his actions, making social media posts in celebration. Making memes mocking the death of Kirk. And worst of all, calling for the rest of his family to met a similar fate. Including his fucking children.
Youll have to run that one by me again, big chap. Im getting a big ol whiff of shit coming out the kitchen as you try to serve it...
Oh here comes the truth finally.
You're just angry your idol got shot lol. And by someone thinking he was too much to the left too.
Yeah, cos only someone who liked him could find the murder of someone to be repugnant. Only someone who liked him, could possible think that wanting his wife and kids dead as well was fucking disgusting...
I'm not involved, and I'm not American. But I laughed when I heard he was shot.
How ghoulish of you...
Most of the world laughed. He was a ghoul, so it was fitting.
No, most of the world didnt laugh. Thats your echo chamber talking. The same echo chamber that told you that Trump would lose in 2016, that brexit wouldnt happen, and that Kamala was on course to make history. If you laugh at the murder of a human being, if you call for the murder of his wife and children and then follow that up with "who next?"... You might just be the ghoulish fucking prick that everyone says you are.
Look at what the culture wars have turned you into. Where you celebrate murder, instead of defeating him with your words. You all talk about MAGA being psychos, but youre the same as they are. The other side of the shitty coin. Nutjobs.
I'm still glad he's dead.
ok...
Yeah, and people who did that are fucking psychos.
And those are "your" people. The same people who say the shooter was a right wing loon, are the same people who celebrate what he did. You know, like the other person who is currently replying to me...
When you choose to paint with that wide of a brush, you're setting yourself up to make false examples of hypocrisy. Do you have any evidence that the person who's currently replying to you celebrated the killers actions?
I noticed that you suddenly understood nuance when accused of idolizing Charlie kirk.
.... Seriously?
Replies you would have seen, had you not been running head long into trying to be smart...
Actually, thats my point. That you lot dont understand nuance. You all dismiss this guy as being left wing, as though it would be some reflection on you. When thats just not true. Its like saying "all men are rapists". Its dumb, but people say it because some men are. This is the point Ive been trying to get at. That you are all being weird as fuck about the guy being left wing, like it matters at all. Its a weird fucking hill to die on. Especially from a nation of dumb witted morons who think they are left wing...
Who do you think I was talking about when I said "the person you were currently talking to"?
They said, without knowing what fucking lot I'm in. Jesus Christ you just bucket everyone that's says something you don't like into one group, but when it comes to yourself you understand the concept of individuals. Then you go around and complain about "you lot" not understanding nuance. Do you see the hypocrisy in your actions?
Did I say anything to you to cast me into "you lot", besides just saying something you dislike? Can you define what that lot is?
Dear fucking god, I didnt realise you needed the special crayons to understand basic fucking English.
Cute. Answer the questions.
He was a known goyper (REALLY far right extremist) through his social media accountsb
Bro really doesnt know about ideological infighting.
most yankees don't have coherent political views
He was a mormon kid who wanted people to be nice to each other. And shot someone about it. That's not really right or left.
He was a 4chan nihilist.
"Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, dude, at least it's an ethos."
People who agree with the right are pretty much always psycho nutjobs in some way, so yes.
Youre the right, ya dope. America has no left wing.
It has nothing to do with what he “would have” thought of Kirk. What’s established by his family’s testimony is that he broke from their conservative ideologies not long before his heinous act and expressed sympathy for Leftist views. Yes, he absolutely was Left-leaning, but came from a Right-wing family.
Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter. The statistics still show the Right-wing extremists are more violent on average, and by a long shot.
lmao. The dude was literally using weasel words to imply trans people and black people are responsible for school shootings when his neck did that.
Stopping him from justifying violence against marginalized people is the opposite of heinous.
Man, you really are the good guys in all of this...
Yes, good guys stop racist transphobes from encouraging stochastic terror.
Are we doing "is it OK to punch a nazi discourse again?
so he's at most a centrist from that information
In a county of right and further right? No. Hes just more to your right than their right.
