Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Experience maybe; but immediately going to “Mossad sniper” raises my eyebrows
I ran away with the idea that it would take a soldier to get that kind of experience. Mossad seems a little dubious because they're on the same side. Seems like Mamdani or Hasan would get their ire first. So I guess my line of thinking runs dry if I try to ascribe an active soldier carrying out an entity's will
Well Mossad because it’s a false flag to crack down on antizionist elements in society. But I gotcha
Like honestly I think reinforcing the "this was a pro" "this was Israel/Ukraine" conspiracy theories is the best way to spare the left a bit of extra pressure. The right wing conspiracy folks are fighting over who did it right now.
Maybe in non-left spaces, I don’t see the harm in discussing it honestly here. If the bullet engravings are genuine (doubt), then it doesn’t matter anyway
Why couldn't you do the same thing with Hasan? You do some honest-to-god terrorism and you can crack down all the same. You also don't lose the head of a big mouth piece of yours.
I misread it as “lose a Big Head mouth piece”
Martyrdom goes both ways maybe? Killing Hasan could galvanize more people into radial politics just like killing Kirk could inspire conservatives targeting liberals? To be clear I don’t personally believe this was an op (yet)
I want to believe it was an op so badly, but I know how easy it is to get sucked into bullshit even when it feels real. Like I came into this conversation with an axe to grind, but I was really hoping to be talked out of it.
