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--

-- 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. --

apolitical 4channer

what's crazy is they actually believe this is possible. americans really do have 0 idea of what politics even is. you couldn't imagine a more hopeless place

(doomposting bc im in a bad mood bc its way too fucking humid for autumn)

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 68 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Political is specifically when you talk about the political party. It's like being a Dodgers fan. And when you like politics enough to do something besides vote, that's terrorism

No. You are also allowed to run for office and reach a position where you are powerless to do good but where you can bully schoolkids.

Apolitical 4channer most likely means"posts Hitler, but is too irony-poisoned to admit he's serious about it"

My brain worm is that the FBI wrote "anti ice" instead of "fuck ice" because the latter would be partially blurred on TV due to naughty words and boomers wouldn't be as scared

Another friend showed me a Facebook post describing how Jahn had flooded his friends’ comment sections with rape jokes — “playful shock humor,” the friend said.

Remember when leftists do this? Yeah, me neither. Sounds more like a terminally online 4chan edgelord. Probably a big Musk follower.

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 73 points 4 days ago

The person interviewed literally called the shooter an "edgelord". It's so clear to anyone paying attention recently that this had nothing to do with a leftist or pro-immigrant motive, but for the fascists any actual details are irrelevant, it's already obviously due to the "insane violent rhetoric of the radical left" even if it had been an elected Republican/open nazi doing the shooting.

I love it when the Anti-ICE guys kills anyone but ice.

We are approaching Chapelle levels of "sprinkle some ~~crack~~ carved bullets " whenever their side does something heinous.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

They didn't even etch the bullets in this one they fucking sharpied one casing

[–] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 60 points 4 days ago (1 children)

One theory I have not heard said enough about this guy is that he's actually acted alone, but wanted to do a false flag implicating the left. I think this is credible because even the FBI could do better then this "evidence".

[–] Aliveelectricwire@hexbear.net 47 points 4 days ago (1 children)

09A has talked about doing this in their discords and telegram channels. I would not be surprised at all.

Call me a dreamer, but why wouldn't you just go "chatgpt, make me a manifesto, make sure it's so information packed it looks like a leftist meme"? During 9/11 the IDs of the terrorists survived the crash. These guys are doing world building like it's fuckin dark souls. Just tell us what we're doing!

Next time wear a Kamala 2024 shirt. Temp dye your hair blue. We'll be unable to see anything else

The facebook video shows that he was following Million Dollar Extreme aka Sam Hyde.

[–] Red_October@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sam Hyde? The famous system-fighter who’s always being sabotaged and oppressed and blacklisted by the system?

Same Sam Hyde I clicked on one video about because I didn’t know who he was and then I didn’t stop seeing his stupid face all over my home page for like four years?

[–] dead@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Sam Hyde who had a skit show on adult swim and then his show was cancelled because the crew found him hiding swastikas in the background of the sets. He blames Tim Heidecker for getting fired.

Sam Hyde who donated $5000 to the legal defense fund of Andrew Anglin, founder of neo-Nazi newspaper The Daily Stormer.

Sam Hyde who organizes his fans to send his photo to news stations after every mass shooting to trick the stations to report that he's the mass shooter.

Sam Hyde who boxed at the KSI pay-per-view boxing event, then after completing his match, threatened to stalk and kill Hasan Piker on live television.

Sam Hyde is a nazi and also allegedly a pedophile.

We're like 3 or 4 more high profile shootings from devolving into a nationwide battle royale

His friends say he had more of a libertarian bent, with one recalling an interest in the libertarian figure Ron Paul.

heh

Clearly it no longer matters. Trump already said we’re fighting radical leftists.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Clearly blaming everything on your political opponents regardless of evidence just works, maybe we should do it too.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago

Kirk gets shot - the entire left (and they lumped in libs of course) are guilty

Black churches and neighborhoods, synagogues and mosques get mass shootings - lone wolf, never mind that they're always fans of the same people and congregate in the same spaces

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Agreed.

Conservatives did 9/11. Al Queda is a far right conservative organization. Ergo, all republicans are guilty. That’s how it works, right?

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Conservatives did 9/1

I mean

So is there a shell casing engraver out there who hit upon a killer advertising campaign or did some guy at the FBI who was starting a new hobby stand up during a meeting and go "hear me out guys, this may sound weird, but..."

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

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"

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 28 points 4 days ago

It literally don't matter, the narrative has been set. If CNN or the rest of the msm didn't suck so much shit and were such sniveling court eunuchs they'd explore the fascist 09A grooming false flag angle.

Once again, bourgeoisie on bourgeoisie violence and somehow the left has to be punished for it.

It said anti-ice not anti-i.c.e.* way more likely the guy hates snow and ice, ie snowflakes

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

You joke, but right wing rhetoric is literally this ridiculous; I recall a protester (by the name of Heather?) who was run over and died of shock and the right said she was so overweight that when she got hit, she had a heart attack because she was both so surprised and overweight and that's what killed her, all because the reported reason of her death is 'shock'; absolutely baby brained people

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

That was Charlottesville
