Not that hypocrisy carries any weight on the right, but for those who are keeping score. (alt version in body) (slrpnk.net)

For those who don't find "far-right" to be an applicable descriptor with what is known currently, I acknowledge that the meme creator could have been more precise with their word choice. However, I feel the difference is academic:

We can replace “far right” with the easily verified “not leftist” without changing the meme whatsoever, primarily because the meme is about Nancy Mace and her mercurial, disingenuous opinion, not (directly) about the shooter.

Edit - I modified it, though I still find it to be a distinction without a difference - alt version for those who prefer (whoops missed one first time)

The far-right stuff isn't proven yet. He just seems terminally online.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 25 points 2 days ago

Bare minimum he was a maga kid in a maga family, and that's the reason for her change of tone. None of the other stuff is relevant to the point here.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 days ago (13 children)

Right. I see people here, who I share a lot of the same views with, as doing the same as the extreme right and just running with whatever is trending and not actually looking for the truth.

We can’t trust anything that is said by the media until we learn the actual full details.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

I think the point is none of that actually matters. He's simply not the evil liberal lefty they clearly hope for.

I'm personally fairly positive he will turn out to be a far right goon, you have to be fairly far down the rabbit hole to be prepared to actually kill someone after all. But that's not required for mega to have a breakdown about it. They needed him to be a left-wing extremist, and therefore an enemy that they can use to justify further crackdowns. The problem is it looks like he might be one of them.

Nothing is proven yet for anything, even that he was the shooter.

That said - these are all very specific references for a very specific community, even down to his Halloween costumes.

I'd be absolutely shocked if he held any belief that hinted toward the actual left.

Bring back? Isn’t Utah one of the fuckwit medieval states (I mean the whole country is rotten but still) that still has bloodlust punishment?

And yet, a fascist was still eradicated! Are you trying to tell me murdering murderers doesn't prevent murders?
Who knew!?

No, that’s NOT what he’d want. He’d want us to bail him out: https://xcancel.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1587127536122732544

I’m just wondering if the TPUSA folks are gonna get even with Nick Fuentes or if they are going to let the groypers get away with it like the little bitches they are.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 days ago

Him being killed by gang violence right after saying "including gang violence" is just the cherry on top.

https://www.thecanary.co/trending/2025/09/12/charlie-kirk-suspect-is-a-gun-loving-trump-supporter/ This explained pretty well what the references are. The Bella ciao etc. were used ironically, but I’m not seeing this being reported anywhere else.

They will let Fuentes get away with it an just deny the truth.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do we have any evidence of his political views from a named source that is verified to have been in close contact with him before the shooting?

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (8 children)

Is that a requirement for a meme about Nancy Mace's abrupt about-face? It seems a bit rigorous for a community where we share mostly regurgitated memes and screenshots.

I feel pretty satisfied. The viewer can make up their own mind, or find their own sources.

Edit: We can replace "far right" with the easily verified "not leftist" without changing the meme whatsoever, primarily because the meme is about Nancy Mace and her mercurial, disingenuous opinion, not (directly) about the shooter.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

I think we should be careful promoting any claims as to why he killed Kirk. The narrative surrounding the Columbine school shooting was that the killers were loner loser nerds who were bullied and acting in revenge. The FBI profile released years later suggested they were bullies, weren't popular nor unpopular and one of the killers likely had ASPD and would have potentially killed people in other situations.

We should be very careful how we promote the views of people involved in this crime until we know why he did it.

Not that hypocrisy carries any weight on the right, but for those who are keeping score.

For a fascist, overt hypocrisy is a sign of strength.

The sheep are bound by their previous statements. The lions do whatever they want.

When you accuse a fascist if hypocrisy, you are giving them a big, big compliment.
