    if history is our guide then the obvious thing to do is just denounce groypers as marxists and send fuentes to the camps

    Gotcha. Fuentes often uses the term "gay" as an insult or to describe things he finds objectionable. Of course that is also a common (and hateful) saying used by people throughout the years ... but to put it on a bullet seems a bit more purposeful in terms of a signature.

    He might've just decided that an exploding head would be a bad look. Or, he might've used a different weight bullet than when he sighted it. Or he thought he had it zeroed at 100 instead of 200. I suppose that, if he missed high rather than low, it could be all of that inversely. A high hit probably makes more sense given the position.

    Again, it's all part of the Groyper meme-culture. As mentioned above, Kirk was hated by Fuentes and Co and by engraving Groyper memes on the casings, he was signaling to members of that community that he was one of them.

    He was a grifting POS, across the board. Being right leaning is the only consistent thing about him.

    I get your point, but I don't think this is the right phrasing. This phrasing assumes he didn't even consider the risks. Rather, I think he just didn't think the risks applied to him. It's White Privilege, from a right wing point of view.

    You could tell them apart because one group wore salmon colored polo shirts, and the other group wore coral colored polo shirts.

    I remember going down that rabbit hole a few months ago. It was part of an article I read on something about the decentralization of White Nationalism (IIRC, it was related to something regarding sexism or transphobia or something like that) and there are all kinds of groups out there related. Intellectually, really strange. Emotionally, really scary.

    I had to ask Gemini why Groupers didn't like Kirk.

    In retaliation for the firing of St. Clair and the Politicon incident, Fuentes began organizing a social media campaign asking his followers to go to Kirk's events and ask provocative and controversial leading questions about his stances on immigration, Israel, and LGBT rights to expose Kirk as a "fake conservative".

    Let's be clear, all of them are White, and most of them are males. There are probably a spattering of White women, or Blacks or Latinos, but that would be the rare bunch. Even Owens is likely to receive many death threats.

    Trying to find some real analysis here of the Groyper war rift. I’m seeing it posed as both real or simply kayfabe.

    I found a Newsweek article that says Kirk didn’t want to embrace anti-semitism or homophobia. I kinda get the distancing from anti-semitism, as there is a lot of donors who won’t hand over cash at risk of being associated with it. (Also see how the Trump admin has weaponized it as a reason to attack higher ed institutions.)

    But homophobia? In what world and in what way did Kirk embrace the homosexual community? Ever? :confused::confused::confused:

    Can anyone report Kirk defending LGBT? Especially the T part?

    I mean, did he say that LGB is cool as long as they are down with the rest of the white supremacist agenda?

    the original so-called Groyper War

    its quite a turn of events..originally the story was that Kirk got taken out by the lefts “Zola algorithm” because he represented a future threat… “he was a future President” cried the Right

    In reality Hydra took him out because he wasnt extreme enough and was just cosplaying their values..

    Heres my thing.. For a story as big as this has been one would expect a big “Pause” by every parent right now to go.. “Hmmm, I better take a no-holds barred check of all my kids online activity to ensure that they arent being exploited, given poisoned Kool-aid or perhaps involved in any potential future calamity”…

    I know my adults just checked my shit and are asking if my icon is affiliated with something bad or Rocky IV

    Specially right now… the internet of old was “search for what you want to know”… the current internet is “Feed”, with algorithms targeting folks with stuff whether they want it or not.

    No, he said we should all be murdered. Apparently that wasn't extreme enough.

    And yet MAGAs don't think anything is wrong with Kirk saying that because in their eyes "he was a good Christian".

    Pretty pathetic Kash making a grand speech about the great historic effort from the FBI to capture the suspect when it was the father who turned him in. Probably would have happened earlier if they released the video they had on hands earlier. Maybe they were still hoping to catch him themselves so they could tap themselves on the back ... while risking him fleeing. Nice work.

    So we are to believe that this guy was radicalized by the University system. He went to Utah State University (world renown bastion of Marxist ideology) for the lengthy period of 6 months. Makes complete sense ...

    (to clarify, that's what the online right is pushing)
