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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Some right winger realized that Luigi had a great idea. Now they're copying it. This actually convinces me that the Kirk shooting was more than it seemed. Not the right suspect, engravings are fake, texts are faked, something like that. Kash and Bongodongo are clowns and professional liars working for the biggest clown and liar. Nothing they say or report is believable. I was giving them a tiny shred of benefit of the doubt that they wouldn't just be wholesale fabricating stuff. This ICE thing plus weirdness with Kirk (on top of them lying about Epstein and a billion other things in the admin outside of FBI) is just at this point "They're all lying. All evidence is fake if it benefits their narrative." level stuff. The boy has cried "leftist!" in a country of zero leftists a bit too many times.
On a side note, all the denialism about the alleged Kirk guy not being a right winger from libs and some self described leftists is annoying. Any of those "meme kids" are just 4channers. Right wing. Whether or not they consumed 4chan through discord, Reddit, twitter, it's still 4chan. It's still far right wing "memes" and that can't be separated from it no matter how much people claim it's just normal now. Ok, then it's normal for teens to be far right wing essentially neo Nazis "as a meme." Does that change their worldview? The same people posting pepe memes then going on a shooting spree would've absolutely been the guys lining up civilians in Lithuania or somewhere and shooting them into pre-dug graves. Those SS soldiers and collaborators are their spiritual ancestors if not literal. The same guy who believed he was serving Germany and his race or whatever by shooting babies would absolutely be a 4chan "meme kid" if he were born in like 2000 instead of 1900.
It does seem like that's the teleology. You strip the German nationalism out of Nazism and you get white supremacy, and then you strip the white supremacy out, keeping only the socially objectionable iconography and anomie and you get this nihilistic solipsism encapsulated in the phrase "for the lulz"
