My hope is that the left retaliates against this cancel culture by reporting offensive right wing posts, which results in a death spiral of social media. People are too afraid to post anything controversial -> people stop posting -> people stop visiting -> dead internet theory -> end of social...

It's certainly reasonable that Robinson was entrenched in meme-culture. It seems very likely. However, the theory I've seen here is that Robinson was a groypher who killed Kirk because Kirk wasn't conservative enough, e.g., Robinson was ultra-conservative. That doesn't pass the smell test if he...

The groyper thing doesn't really make sense, assuming the trans roommate/significant other thing is true. CNN reported it this morning, so I assume it is. I believe groyphers are anti-trans/oppose LGBT rights/etc. That doesn't mean he was liberal. The simplest explanation is that he was likely...

Reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men (and I'd argue that we are all old men here): "I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five years old. Hard to believe. My grandfather was a lawman; father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time; him up in Plano and me out...

Something tells me this guy probably wasn't ultra-liberal or ultra-conservative. Just a pissed off loner/loser that wanted to kill someone and become famous and perhaps watch the world burn.

It's pretty clear that Robinson was radicalized by his liberal, electrical apprenticeship education at Dixie Technical College.

Upon first glance, the killer has similarities to the United Healthcare unit CEO killer. Young, white, educated, "good" family. Targeted killing. Ambiguous political leanings.

A little internet sleuthing: the accused is the son of someone in law enforcement, looks to be a clean cut, conservatively dressed white man. Looks like a typical upper middle class Utah 22 year old.

Yes, I thought the same. He may not be apprehended within 48 hours, but I'd wager he will be identified within 48 hours, considering the image quality, distinctive t-shirt (I'm sure they are tracking sales now), new tech (e.g., doorbell cameras), and Trump likely willing to commit unlimited...

It's essentially like swishing an unguarded three-point shot. Could your average Joe in Wal-Mart do it with one attempt? Probably not. But it also doesn't exactly take Steph Curry.

Two things can be true at once: 1. Trump's policies are an unmitigated disaster for the country as a whole as well as the average American, and 2. The economy was in poor shape when Biden left office (which was not Biden's fault). I was always of the opinion that Biden and Harris made a major...

It feels like one major edge conservatives have over liberals is pettiness. It may sound ridiculous, but it has been incredibly effective. They boycott "woke" companies, they certainly don't vacation in California, etc. Meanwhile, liberals are vacationing at Disneyworld and travelling to Texas...

Oh, absolutely. I’m all in for our AI overlord. It may wipe us out, but we may wipe ourselves out. I’d bet the percentages for the latter are higher than the former. It’s likely time to give the keys to someone(something) else.

That’s an interesting thought, especially considering Trump’s support amongst “macho” young males, and how Tony Soprano and Tony Montana were the protagonists. Art imitates life but also influences life. I don’t think electing a mob boss is a negative to these folks. It’s part of the appeal.
