I would caution you all about trying to be rational about the motives of a 22-year old kid willing to throw his life away after scoring genius-level standardized test scores and having his whole life ahead of him.  "He's MAGA, no, he's antifa, no he's a groyper".   It's a fucking mentally broken person, move on.

Maybe it’s not great that a groyper and antifa are so close in ideology and tactics. It’s like, what’s that metal shoe they put on horses called?

Can we stop with the "don't post this stuff on public social media accounts"? I respect the developer for actually having conviction in her beliefs and was willing to sacrifice her job to say them. We need more people like that. I'm not saying you have to sacrifice your job, that's your right but don't tell others what to do. We need less civility, less passivity in this world.

I’m going to guess this developer didn’t think they’d get fired over their post, they fucked around and found out.

The actual post they made isn’t all that bad tbh however the era types gotta understand that these companies will usually have employee guidelines about not bringing shit to the door of the company you work for, the best policy no matter how much you care about political things is simply not fucking post it on your timeline for people to grass you in to your employers and put yourself in the position of more than likely losing FB your job, like come on it’s 2025 that’s not a new thing, stop being so fucking idiotic.

Just like most companies will have a travel policy for helping employees understand the expectations and responsibilities when people travel for work, most companies will have a social media policy for when people want to use social media. 

If you break either policy, expect some sort of ramifications. These are usually articulated in the policy. 

If you're too stupid to read the policy, not much can be done to help you.

I'm praying for the shooter to now claim he's trans so he can go to a woman's prison for maximum fuckery

In a phone interview on Friday, one of Tyler Robinson’s high school friends, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was “pretty left on everything” and was “the only member of his family that was really leftist”.

It's funny ERA uses the "Free speech" argument when it comes to defend that trans comic book writer. Had she been fired for saying something anti trans, ERA would have celebrated it. Bunch of hypocrites

Jayzus, the cope in that thread is delusional…

if I'm reading this right, this friend hasn't really talked to him much since high school it seems? About 4 years ago based on his age of 22.

A lot can change since then, especially since COVID.

Not sure though, he could go left or right.

So another 20 year old, who probably thinks being critical Trump is leftist

What kind of a "leftist" etches a homophobic edgelord joke on a bullet casing before killing someone.

So what's the current status of the Guardian as a source? I believe they were previously pretty reputable, but I dunno anymore so I figure i'd ask.

Yeah I'm not believing some nameless rando over the mountain of evidence that points to terminally online rightwing brain

What is this mountain of evidence?

Have you not read the thread?

Using a number of phrases that 4chan brains use, using a phrase associated with groypers, a photo of him dressed as Trump for Halloween

I know you like to take the pessimistic stance in these threads, tho

Two years of terminally online is enough time to turn somebody hard Right. His HS friend may not even know the person anymore.

with the 1000 photos leaked not a single photo of him with any friends

Ohh sure sure.

 It’s actually really sad and pathetic. I mean, it’s not confirmed and who knows if true, but good lord!

[saltygeneraltso]

Nobody on the left would want to kill Charlie Kirk say the leftists in the 200+ page thread celebrating that someone killed him.

[Potato]

once again so seriously fucking revealing. we'll hopefully learn more if more of his online footprints gets found or get some statement from people that knew him but the hysterics and bluster is all but over now. I'm sure they'll blame Universities or whatever for 'brainwashing' him into some 'leftist' agenda but they've already largely moved on since the culrpit didn't fit what they envisioned.

but it fits exactly what charlie would've wanted. no place for empathy in this war of theirs where everything is placed within the prism of white christonationalism

These people are aware that people can get brainwashed into extreme left politics too right? Like it’s not exclusive to your enemies on the right

The hardest thing in the world for them is to look in the mirror.

I'm guess "left-leaning" in this case means "not as far right as me." Friend is probably an admin on Stormfront and was shocked that Tyler ate soul food once

Hecht: “I’m the cool admin, ERA.”

[Boredfrom]

It's probably best everyone waits until theirs more concrete evidence of his views before jumping to conclusions.

Hecht and Nepenthe:

[Boredfrom]

Given that he didn't vote in the most recent election and there's no political donations tied to him, I have a feeling this will end up being a situation where the shooter has a blend of inscrutable politics all intensified by the online communities he was exposed to for years. He may have been in a conservative/MAGA household, but they clearly let him isolate himself to stew in complex rhetoric that doesn't really fall in one place or another, just fringe online communities that are not being policed or moderated. There's pictures of his family just dismissing his weird Halloween costume ideas.

The fact that his household was conservative completely explains why they made no effort to pull him out of this or even engage with him on any level. They just ignored it. And then you have his dad going to a youth pastor about it rather than law enforcement, because the immediate urge is to cover up situations like this in those households.

Fucking hypocrites.

[Boredfrom]

There were still places like Stormfront and 4chan where horrible ideologies flourished, but it felt like they were a lot more contained back then than they are now.

I don't buy the "he was the only leftist around" thing from a high school friends. You've got to be pretty right-wing internet brainrotted to do multiple pepe halloween costumes.

That's kind of the thing for me, regardless of who the shooter turns out to be, the (online) left spend two days doing nothing but wholeheartedly claim the guy.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Why would leftists be getting fired from the jobs if they didn't mock Charlie's death and agree with it? 

[Boredfrom]

I remember when there was a drama every three days for something that 4chan did.

In a phone interview on Friday, one of Tyler Robinson's high school friends, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was "pretty left on everything" and was "the only member of his family that was really leftist". "The rest of his family was very hard Republican," the friend said.

Uhm.. chuddy? I thought he's a groyper..

[Boredfrom]

Probably depends

I don't think it's confirmed, they just said they were linked with an extremist network or something like that.

So there's a high possibility it's CON or something affiliated.

COM?

I'm curious because I collect suspected cases for work, and at my work "online extremist network" is HUGE numbers of groups with vastly different ideologies.

what do u do

I fight mis/dis on a large video platform, currently.

Fiction is really ashamed of working at TikTok, doesn’t she?

as was posted in this thread earlier...so...you want to agree with the shooter on everything, but you also want him to be from the opposite side? you really think that's the most likely outcome?
