Okay even though I've seen it reported in the Sydney Morning Herald MORE THAN ONCE, I am pretty sure that there were NO ENGRAVINGS APART FROM FACTORY IDENTIFICATION ON THE BULLETS. It's garbage. Also I've seen that he had a trans lover! A "roommate" who is cooperative? Funny how every single permutation of their Wishlist pre capture has magically appeared, isn't it?
The need to fit everything into a team-sports box is so fucking cringe. If your driving principle is "my team wins" above all other principles, it's part of the reason we are in such a fucked up political landscape. Forces like social media make people fall into this top-down instead of ground-up priority or principles. Republicans are much quicker to give up all other principles to prioritize "my team wins", but that doesn't mean everyone should.
But for so many decades, those concepts have been thrown to the side, after having had their true definitions skewed by politicians and propaganda machines for so long. So now it's a truly perverted concept that has nothing to do with reality. And while I say politicians and propaganda machines, the worst actors are on the GOP, then Tea Party, the MAGA side of things.
Bella Ciao is an anti-fascist song. If you want to claim it's actually being used ironically, you need more to go on than "it would be really convenient if he was actually far right"
Yeah, uh, this wouldn't be the first time that neofascists tried to coopt antifascist slogans and signs. Hell, Hitler himself said that the NSDAP chose "the Marxists' red" for their flag as a confusion tactic to lure socialism-friendly Germans towards his party (later he claimed that it was chosen to reflect the "purity of German blood" or whatever).
I knew that I was adding to the "haven't heard of groypers have ya" they person asking for sources didn't even read the post stating the logic before asking for sources.
An old co-worker posted a fox article stating the shooter had trans girlfriend, I'm like "What are you insinuating, that trans-girls banging conservative men radicalizes them?!" I mean what a slippery slope for them.

Remember when Ashley Babbitt died and people online immediately began suggesting she was secretly Antifa? Textbook deflection

IDK man, I hang around a lot of leftists in left leaning internet places and I've never seen any of those memes.

Truth, justice, equality, etc. should all come first.

They have no chance to come first (or to survive long) if the RepubliKKKans win.

Not a single reputable news agency is reporting this. I fucking hate this shit.

Yup. It’s only the second-string influence grifters. The inner circle has moved on

wadatahmydamie
That’s one of the many, MANY Nick Fuentes memes he referenced all across his social media.
Don’t make excuses for Nazis.
ImaginaryMamboNumber5
It's in the Groyper Wars Spotify playlist, likely for the irony of the content.

You ain't heard of Groypers, have yah
Madalchemist2018
Didn't read the post or bother checking what it said before saying you're gonna need sources.
TheLastBootyBender
The song name, along with all the other groyper memes engraved on the bullets, leads to it being used as the groypers used it.
In a facist way.

Not that there's any truth to it, but being romantically involved with a queer person would not preclude him from being a Republican.

I mean, plenty of republicans even regularly surf queer porn. Even the ones that decry the people in them.

You know there's a republican version of grindr called "the whole truth"?
Unclescam
Is it just a link to grindr but it has a different name on the face?
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Probably

They've really just gotta make a shittier version of everything, eh?
NOINITIATIVE
yeah just look at what they did to America.
wadatahmydamie
Correct. They’re just trying to lie about the shooter.
But it’s only the second-string grifters, you’ll note.
REOJackwagon
What grifters are saying it?

Matt Thornton, Matt Walsh, the low-grade Matts.

Assume the rest have just moved on given it wasn't what they were hoping for. All theatrics. Even his own people don't actually care
wadatahmydamie
Yup. The ones who actually have influence in the party stopped caring on day two
