The trans partner of Tyler Robinson had no knowledge about it and was told to delete messages but didn't and instead turned them immediately over to the police and cooperated. Yet, the right is demonizing her and blame everything on trans people despite the trans person here doing the right thing.

I mean, absolutely worst boyfriend imaginable. I can't imagine a partner doing something like that and then dropping that news on me. It was beyond selfish and disgusting. He not only ruined his own life and took another's, he ruined his partner's life as well. She'll never have a normal life again.

The right are going to paint this as some result of radicalization and the fault of trans people but this was a cis white man and trans people had nothing to do with it. The partner was a helpless bystander in all this and when confronted with the truth, did the right thing and called the police.

You can tell the right believes she's actually a woman because they're blaming her for the actions of a man.

A Cis white trades apprentice guy from a conservative family who has a history of listening to Nick Fuentes, a right-wing podcast dude who called for political violence toward the left, and has even chastised both Charlie kirk and Donald Trump

who has a history of listening to Nick Fuentes

Would you have a source where I can read about that? I haven't been able to keep up with all the news

I’m pretty sure no source has confirmed he’s a Groyper. It’s just speculations.

All we know is that the shooter wasn’t particularly political.

The shooter's mom said he leaned left into the extremism of thinking gay and trans people deserve to have rights. Absolutely no other examples of leaning left, just that one thing.

The comment right above you says otherwise. With a link to a source. What do you have other than intuition?

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 3 points 16 hours ago

That article doesn’t point to any specific. Citing the article:

On his Discord and social media accounts, Robinson shared Groyper memes, labeled Kirk a “Zionist sellout,” and praised Fuentes’ “purity tests” for conservatism.

This could be the most concrete evidence. The question is, what memes did he share? What were the texts showing he praised ”purity tests”? There’s nothing in the article, and I haven’t seen anything surface since.

Recovered rifle casings had chilling inscriptions like “Hey fascist! Catch!” and references to internet memes rooted in alt-right culture. Some even referenced the leftist anthem “Bella Ciao”—used ironically by the far-right online.

The link between the inscriptions and the Groyper movement weak. Liking Helldivers 2 doesn’t make you a Groyper.

To me, this sounds more like the typical fashion of old people not understanding young people internet culture, and attribute anything they don’t understand to the alt right.

The rest of the article is just explaining the Groyper movement.

That link is kind of suspicious. I don't know how much faith you can put into it.

Propaganda exists and just having a link doesn't mean you're right.

Who are these investigators? Where are the discord messages? It's odd that the smoking gun of the article isn't shown or corroborated. Or am I missing it somewhere?
