In short, what we know about Tyler Robinson so far:
In short, the guy likely has a mixture of conservative and liberal views.
The final point is the part that's still being debated I think. The memes are definitely groyper memes, and this article seems to confirm that he was a big player of Helldivers 2, which groypers like to use as a sort-of digital Nazi bar.
The big thing is just that he's definitely not a leftist, which is of course a huge sigh of relief, but there's still the very real chance that this was an act of far-right on far-right violence.
In the end, it really doesn't matter.
Promote a field of political violence, and then you can play both sides.
what do you mean by this, exactly? are you trying to sarcastically echo the Trump admin?
They're saying fascists play a game of asymmetrical violence. They are violent, full stop. Any violence in the face of their violence, will never stop or slow their violence. Or even cause them to think. They will use every possible excuse to simply crank up the violence on whomever they want. Even if they had nothing to do with the violence.
he calls his roommate "my love" in the released texts
he also says the bullet carvings are just memes
