Is there even a shred of evidence that “left-leaning voices” on Fox have an impact whatsoever? A lot of people are saying that, and so far I’ve not seen anyone provide any evidence for utility.

Yeah, that’s been the coordinated lie since shortly after the shooting, it’s rampant on Twitter too. It’s spread pretty quickly, so I suspect (but haven’t checked) that some of the more mainstream far-right voices (aka your IDW/Federalist/Breitbart types) have pushed that message too. The far-right chan cultures and…

Youtube is a toxic hellhole that makes Twitter look good in comparison. I keep up with some of the biggest far-right personalities but that’s about it. 

Confirmed that there are also IEDs. This was well-planned by terrorist standards. Most plans fall apart at a lower level of complexity than this. Two targets, multiple shooters, and IEDs. 

He’s outright praising “meme warfare” of the type used by everyone from alt-right dirtbags to flat out neo-Nazis on social media. It’s likely he radicalized through far-right communities on social media rather than physical communities. He claims he radicalized online, but again, taking a manifesto like this at face…

Police now talking about up to three shooters.

Current evidence available, if it’s not fake (which is a real possibility as bad actors enjoy weaponizing misinformation after events like this now, especially far-right ones), suggests the shooter has neo-Nazi aligned ideology and purposely targeted Muslims (which was obviously implied by targeting a mosque during…

Even for the Trump era, this just feels kind of...gross? Like it’s none of our business if they’re in a relationship, or what their dynamic is, or any of that. I can’t think of any way this involves the public sphere.

Predictable, and also predictable that Republicans will waive off concerns with bad faith trolling about how “liberals are too sensitive”. They watched a politician assault a journalist and didn’t blink.

It’s truly remarkable how conservatives manage to find money for every dubious and/or bigoted political venture but assert we can’t afford long-term policies that would benefit the country. 

Well, you’re parroting a lot of talking points and narratives that originate in that milieu. Given your naked dishonesty there’s little reason to trust your words when contradicted by your behavior. That’s called analysis. I’m sure it’s foreign to you. 

This is...not an accurate summation of the historical and archaeological record not the academic views on the Exodus narrative.

Some disingenuous far-right jackass based on the content of your trolling so far. You really think anyone is fooled by this “superior centrist” act of yours? Fuck off. 

Then leave. We’ll be glad to see the last of some mendacious prick like you. 

No, it’s contested. Tossing out a fairly obvious troll line and then claiming “it’s uncontested” after others contest it is the height of bad faith trolling.

Yeah but that’s Shafer. Shafer loves being a vapid contrarian. 

On one hand, it’s true this is no worse than what has already been done and playing “the most moral loser” serves no useful end.

I was in high school from ‘04-’08, so fairly recently.

Do they not know that kids at school do not have full free speech rights? Like this is settled law. Their rights are severely curtailed (in some cases for bullshit reasons). I couldn’t take a bag with the Guinness brand name on it to school because it “promoted alcohol”, even though it was literally just the word…

Bad comparison. It is odd he went full in on Cortes, who isn’t actually seen favorably. I’m pretty sure there’s a similar event in the Illiad and other historical examples with a bit less mass-murder.
