unconsequential

Some context clues you missed… “Typical” as in mainstream, and “leftist” is put in quotation intentionally. Also, we’re discussing American politics, so if you’re not familiar with our thinking, and are not interested in framing within that realm of thinking, then you can take your drum beating elsewhere. It’s useless in this discussion.

I don’t get that impression from all the bits and pieces, and especially not from this breakdown. I think he’s rather intelligent (probably the smartest guy in the room most of his life considering the demographics he was surrounded by) and he really thought he was going to get away with it.

Which if he hadn’t have cracked emotionally, been turned in by his own parents, and his lover wasn’t squealing like a pig, he might have. People really underestimate how incompetent cops are (although he arguably did a ton of dumb things like use his own vehicle, use a unique family heirloom rifle, etc.)

I don’t condone what he did, I just am appalled by the absolute lack of loyalty from the people surrounding him. Just horrid…Now he gets to live long enough to watch everyone he trusted throw him to the wolves to be torn to shreds and humiliated on a global stage. Which many will agree that in itself is justice served, having that knife in the back and twisted. Good social lesson for society. Loyalty to State and fear of authority above all else.

…the vast majority political violence is done by extremist elements on the right.

Read a good point on another comment section that went something along the lines of:

Tyler Robinson was raised in a right-wing, specifically very MAGA, household. And what is one of MAGA’s primary values? Destroy what you don’t agree with. He didn’t use typical “leftist” problem solving when confronted with something he didn’t like, instead he employed the tools he was raised with, specifically violence against opposing views. Even if he flipped ideological perspectives (to a degree), he didn’t change his methodology. That rearing of hate and black-white thinking was still heavily embedded in his psyche.

Like, you have to figure out what to eat every day. WTH.

I got sucked into this and it’s insane to think this was in 2020. Ugh. But, it did make me feel better about how I got to today.

You’re clearly a menace to society! I ought to turn you into the thought police for my brownie points. I might even get enough for a gold star this year!

It’s definitely a threat to us the public. No other reason for the dramatic imagery. They want to remind us who owns us.

I think they use libertarian because they’re allergic to the word liberal. Daddy (only living relative) is full on QAnon. Without going into too much personal detail let’s just say they’re not a deep political thinker. They view themselves as “conservative” but they’re far less socially conservative than I am in actual lived practice. Heavy policy is a little too abstract for them. Rhetoric clips and political perceived “outsiderness” is more their level of comprehension.

The other one occasionally uses Libertarian because they’re Christian (which, debatable from where I sit) and want a “hands off my life” approach more than they care about actual government function.

Again both of these people barely finished school and have had their lives largely dictated by abusive men. One is even Native and still voted for Trump because at least he’s not “the establishment” they also praise Bernie for the same reasons.

I think it boils down to two women grasping for a label to describe themselves in an environment that is hostile to who they actually are in practice.

I would go with state sanctioned act of terror

Well, just learned about him today and probably first and last.

I’m not familiar with that one?

“I don’t think I should probably discuss this any further than that, my opinion is that it was self-done, and I have reasons for that.”

Is your reason green paper based? Or perhaps ideological? Maybe fear?
