    Killed by a straight, non-trans and white man on a school campus. In a way, that met all his conditions.

    He was literally killed for being not far-right enough. They still blame the left. No conclusive logic detected anywhere in the right politosphere

      cant blame the far right, which your party depends on for supporter, unless you want to alienate your own voters. thats how simple republicans are. the right does not like change or a paradigm shift in thier way of life(they are like cats cant handle change well)

      I saw a comment a while ago that called it myth making. It stuck with me for some reason. They don’t have a reality. They have right wing mythos.

      What’s astounding to me is how innate that is. How can one process stimulus and information. Then filter it through a second layer of myth crafting.

      At least to me reality is what reality is. I don’t take in information and then think how can I gymnastic this into my mythology. How is anyone even like that??? The right seems to do it reflexively.

        Mythmaking is a central component of fascism. It’s an idealogy built upon convenient lies, for the sake of essentially collecting paychecks.

      Not sure about this. There’s been more information coming out and I was team Groyper on his ideology but he may have just done an about face after living with his trans roommate (who is cooperating with police, and shocked he did this).

      Quoting AP here:

      Cox said the suspect’s partner was transgender, which some politicians have pointed to as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk for his anti-trans views. But authorities have not said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson’s motive.

      “The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female,” Cox said. “I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening.”

    TIL Kirk’s neck was one of the whitest places on earth. And he would have loved to hear that.

        I’m going to call it death button from now on. It makes it so more obvious: “everyone needs a death button, so that the good guys can press the button faster then the bad guys. This will lead to less deaths”. Ridiculous thinking…

      Stupid white state

      Super conservative campus

      Open carry campus

      Super red state

      Gets taken out by a Super groyper

      Super white Mormon guy

      Raised by Super conservative parents

      Shot like a deer in a desert

      Every detail is more and more ironic and I literally don’t feel bad for him

        Just to add two notes of context, it’s not a super conservative school. It’s an open enrollment school and with the state being red, it’s going to be generally red. There is a super conservative school next door at BYU. But really I would not describe Utah as “super red” in the MAGA context and more as a theocracy. Republicans give them that theocracy. But the theocracy has been fracturing the last few years and shedding to more democrat, but unfortunately others further right too. But democrats won’t ever seize the opportunity because it and other flyover states just don’t matter to them.

    Except he was shot for not being disparaging enough to immigrants, women, and black folks.
