Pretty sure luigi is the only one who'd smoke in that group.

[–] AngryishHumanoid@lemmynsfw.com 64 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

Mormons will surprise you there, they'll smoke a blunt while telling you why God doesn't want them to drink caffeinated soda.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 52 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How do you stop a mormon from drinking all your beer?

Invite two of them.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

I had a friend who would say awkward situations were "worse than Mormons making eye contact at the liquor store," so that tracks lol

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Kinda like how my buddy who grew up in rural Lancaster, PA said the Amish kids always grew the best weed.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

I can only imagine if there’s nothing to do but build barns and agriculture, you’d be damn good at both.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

If it's plain weed as the lord provides and they're industrious and plain folk there's no reason not to unless the charter forbids it

The deal with Utah is it's actually only 40% Mormon. And when you have a bunch a kids growing up in the Mormon church, a decently large number of them will crash out. And when they crash out, they tend to crash out pretty hard.

So Utah has large communities for various countercultures and alternative lifestyles. You can visit a random business, and often find both types working together side by side. And it is usually quite obvious which is which from external signs.

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 weeks ago

Salt Lake City, despite being home to The Mormon Temple, has a huge number of non-Mormons, and non-religious people in general. Pride there was a lot of fun!

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

I used to travel for work and had a couple of rather nice hook-ups with some Utah Mormon guys. Magic underwear and everything.

ETA: Also a guy here. May be relevant context.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not usually, but yeah, in this context.

Now I want to read up on "magic underwear",but I'm a little scared to Google it..

Sounds like a mormon i (briefly) dated in high school. Couldn't take a sip of my Arizona bc caffeine, had no problem showing up for a band competition rolling off her ass after a rave the night before. Got super into coke after high school as well, and who knows what else. The logic leaps sound exhausting to keep going.

Last I heard, she was clean and doing good though, happy for her.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My good friend is exmormon and he blows coke constantly

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Coke is an unusual name but that's his parents' fault. Did they meet on a mission?

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Actually they were originally known as the Cockluvers but when they came to America they shortened it to avoid persecution.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Oh so it's like how Baptists drink all your beer

[–] sausager@lemmy.world 55 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, Luigi's innocent. He was with me the whole time

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 61 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Trash ass roto

I'd only pass it to Luigi

No, the new guy doesnt get a hit because he killed a Nazi, hes a Nazi himself.

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

You mean Tyler Robinson? Everything I've read says he's an anti-facist. Am I missing something?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Tyler is a Groyper. Look that shit up. An opposing right wing gang to TPUSA.

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

I can't find anything linking him to the movement except for a picture of him wearing a meme Halloween costume and a whole lot of wild speculation.

I'm not saying he isn't part of far right subculture, but there's way more available evidence at this time that points to him being anti-fascist.

Long Ass Edit: Post Deep Dive.

Alright.

Messages on gun casings: A lot of news sources are saying, by varying degrees, these are associated with Groypers.

Groypers use memes to obfuscate and soften their horrible, horrible views. I ran searches on symbols of the groyper movement, only looking for results posted more than a week ago. None of those phrases were noted as part of the movement or culture - except in one suspiciously post-edited article that mentioned only the messages on the bullet casings without providing references, despite having citations for everything else in the article. I'm not inferring anything nefarious from that, just pointing it out.

There are more iconic symbols of the movement: The groyper toad, pit vipers, swastikas, that weren't used. However, since Groypers have been largely deplatformed their culture is even more obscure and hard to pin down. I acknowledge it would be difficult to find what might be inside jokes.

Bella Ciao is more difficult to pin down because it's become popular again an both an ironic and an anti-facist message. It could go both ways.

All I can tell is that he was into memes.

The Halloween Costume: It's (potentially) a pepe and it's from 2018. I'm not even going to analyse this.

He was into guns: Not a good point for either side. He hunted. And guns are fun for everyone (as long as they're regulated and operated safely.)

No one seems to know what the hell Tyler Robinson believed: He's described as "political" by his family and "MAGA" by his grandma (who said their whole family is MAGA) without any specific examples. His online presence is null.

He was a registered non voter with no affiliation. Important to note here that Nick Fuentes called on his followers not to vote in recent election. But there are plenty of reasons someone might not vote.

A mysteriously anonymous letter from a "friend" was posted and later redacted by The Guardian, claiming he was left wing. Other second hand anecdotes say he was progressive. He supposedly donated money to Trump, but that was (I think?) discredited as someone else with the same name. He apparently hated Charlie Kirk, but that could go both ways.

Conclusion: I don't fucking know. With partisan politics controlling media, half want him to be a socialist and the other half want him be a right wing extremist. There's a lot of weak evidence pointing to a right wing extremist which could solidify in the coming days, and I'm open to that. I can see this swinging the other way, too.

I could see debating forever and never really understanding why he did it.

Personally, I'm going to keep a eye out for clear citations linking the messages to any movement if nothing else comes out about his motives. Until then I'm not convinced either way.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bella ciao is played in a scene of sniper elite, and could well just be a game the shooter enjoyed honestly.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's also a dlc song for Hearts of Iron 4, which in and of itself isn't a game that promotes fascism but there is a weird far-right subculture that does use it to praise stuff like Nazi Germany.

[–] alt_xa_23@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

We should definitely avoid jumping to conclusions at this point

Yea I think he was anti facist raised in a MAGA family. He probably realized how brainwashed they were and it pissed him off.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I forget his name. Guy who capped the Minnesota dem state reps.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Why does he just look right wing? Maybe it's the haircut?

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Fetal alcohol syndrome.

Vance Boelter. Killed/went after democrats.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Let Luigi smoke while I kick the other 3 into a coma.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

What do they all have in common? They are white men! Someone round them all up and deport them! /s

[–] J92@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Bottom right actually looks like one of trump's shaved sons.

Is it that one of them achieved the goal?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Gonna need y'all to clue me into the three that aren't Luigi

[–] volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Bottom left is the Trump shooter, bottom right the alleged Kirk shooter. No clue who the upper left dude is

[–] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The guy who killed George Floyd I think. Terrible rotation. Someone there would definitely slobber on the blunt.

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I could be wrong but I don't think so, this is the mugshots CNN had in this article https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/03/us/george-floyd-officers-charges/index.html

He's the one that killed the state representatives.

[–] zenitsu@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Of course people don't know about the MAGA guy who killed a Dem lawmaker and her husband, shot others and was on his way to kill more on his list of 70 people. Really shows the right's grip on the media.

Chatting about video games seems to be the best chance at having a fun convo that doesn't turn into dehumanizing groups of people. If we can pull that off, given Luigi's supposed internship at Firaxis, the rotation could scrape by a passable 7/10.

More realistically, a 2 or 3/10 if the weed is really good. Otherwise I don't know if I would even bother.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, the right wing crazies constantly bitch and moan about how all the games are woke now.

It's insufferable.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

This rotation sucks. I'd just choose to stay sober.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Are they all transitioning to alpha maga?
