Political Memes

Whatever Tyler Robinson's personal beliefs were is irrelevant

I hate that they have us playing this game, we can agree that murder is wrong without venerating Charlie Kirk and without throwing a group of people under the bus, because if we wanted to play that game... well we don't need Tyler Robinson.

But, of course, none of that really matters because it's not really about who's right or wrong. It's about them having an excuse to kill people they disagree with.

Conservatism is always about giving people an other, and in this case the other is defined as anyone who stands in their way, and they're pointing them at us with a gun.

Because at the end of the day the only real Us and Them is the rich and the poor and they know it so they keep us busy fighting a culture war so we don't fight the class war.

The only thing that gives an idea about the motive or ideology of the killer are what was inscribed on the bullets. The inscriptions on the bullets link him to 4chan groypers. However, the dude didn't vote in the past two elections. I can't really make sense of it. But I agree, the far right is trying really hard to paint the guy as a lefty, claiming that he was in a relationship with his MTF roommate. I can't find a credible source to verify this, I'm only seeing that argument posted on Fox and Newsmax.

While it's clearly bullshit to claim that Robsinson was a leftist, it also seems dishonest to paint him as right-wing. Especially his motive remains shrouded in mystery and certainly can't be boiled to "Kirk wasn't right-wing enough" at this point. It all seems super ambiguous, there's no simple explanation there.

Whether he's right or left, he was radicalized by what he heard from the right.

It’s too early to tell his current political affiliation or motivation. The right is saying he was dating his trans roommate and pissed at Kirk’s anti-trans stance. The left is saying he was so far right that he believed Kirk was too liberal. Everything is speculation. The only people with thorough knowledge of his motives are the investigators.

I read an article in a conservative comm that was tripping all over itself to say he was leftist. Have you heard the roommate was trans? Better mention that 3 times. Groyper? Obviously that means he was far left and far right simultaneously.

Total misuse/misunderstanding of the meme, FYI. It's supposed to represent straining/restraining.
