Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Legacy media (and most independent media as well) is so ill-equipped to address this topic. Watching talking heads read the bullet casings over the past few days, the best they can do is slowly read it out like it's a different language and ruffle their noses with zero analysis or context.
IMO, it looks like it's a terminally online, irony poisoned, nihilistic shooter. Everything is a joke, everything is bleak. Sincerity is cringe. Etc. It's impossible for normies to understand that whatever is written is dripping with sarcasm and irony, not sincerity. He could've wrote the navy seal copypasta and they'd be reaching out to the military for comment on whether or not he had a service record.
If he had written anything about being trapped in a maoist cult I'd be real worried.
"Sheriff deputy discovers 144mm artillery shell with the shooter's manifesto carved into it, the name "chairman gonzalo" comes up multiple times in it. Who is this mysterious chairman?"
