Today, radio fucking silence from them on the entire thing.

If you meant me in particular, I had other shit going on

If you meant the Right as a whole, most Right-Wing YouTube channels never went quiet for more than the owner had to sleep.

Are the corporates reverse-engineering Marx

Good post up till this point. Curious if you have read enough of Marx's writing to make an informed critique and rejection of it, or are merely using the word as a stand in for "ideology we don't like. "

@houseoftolstoy can't say I paid much attention to him or his content, it's not to my political taste.

But I do get a strong impression that his reasonable demeanor in a political field of hard core demagogues, worked to sheep dog young as yet politically uncommitted people in a right wing direction.

@First-light

Sheesh women can be scary. Women? Within 20 minutes of news of the shooting breaking, the entire MAGA movement and American Right had posted MILES of online comments, blaming Democrats, Marxists, Trans people, "Lefties" in general, along with practically every other hot button scapegoat of Right Wing media, except for once, immigrants. They were ready to start a Civil War in the streets, and visit the next Krystalnacht on every physical embodiment of Democrat and otherwise left of far-right politics, union halls, maybe even soup kitchens and free clinics.

What a difference 24h makes. Today, radio fucking silence from them on the entire thing.

@Typo-MAGAshiv Breaking news, the apparent shooter has been taken into custody. What little information has trickled out so far suggests Gamer Nerd, stupid enough to blab about the crime on Discord.

@MentORPHEUS Israel wouldn't stand to gain from this, and it's way too risky for them to do that. I just don't see it.

@MentORPHEUS 200m isn't a difficult shot with a rifle. I've hit 300m with just iron sights while in the Army, and while I was decent at shooting, I wasn't great.

Additionally, the dude touched shit with his bare hands and left his weapon behind.

He's no pro.

His getaway looks more like luck in the chaos than like any professionalism.

He'll be caught. It's just a matter of time.

@Typo-MAGAshiv dammit, hit post. Anyway, the American Left has mounted the biggest obstacle to Israel's actions and intentions in Gaza and the West Bank. There exists obvious tension and animosity towards the American Left from the American Right. Conditions are absolutely ripe to trigger a Civil War of Americans against one another. Just look at how much vitriol you aimed my way, and so far I've really mainly just quoted Charlie Kirk's own words.

So yeah, False Flag by Israel makes one possible explanation for this event IMO.

@Typo-MAGAshiv I've thought the same... I never followed Kirk, but have been thinking that the more news emerges the more a False Flag attack by Mossad sounds plausible. Not enough information to confirm or rule out this spitball theory or any other yet. But one thing looks perfectly clear: this does NOT fit Any pattern of random crackpot hater having a go at it. This shows many markers of a Professional, even coordinated hit. From the single shot hit, to the clean escape to the not one but TWO likely plants within the crowd distracting police till the trail was safely cold and the shooter long gone. Planning and location scouting appear Professionally on point.
