re: Can I get some clarification on the murder of the MN state lawmakers?

What was the general consensus on his ideology and motive ?

If he was really lockstep with conservative, there would be absolutely zero ambiguity. The media would have made it very clear for weeks and months and provided you with a resume of his conservative beliefs.

He was all over the place so that is why you heard little after the fist week.

From a global perspective (as in how political ideology is defined across the world), he would definitely be considered left.

I don't think anyone considers theocracy to be left.

"Globalism" (whatever that means) isn't a specifically partisan stance, also.

This dude was a nutjob f

At the end of the day, they're almost always nutjobs. That's why I said that was the important variable.

Even in the "heat of the moment" with the MN shooter I made sure to make that clear. Those arguments were counter to people confidently saying he was a Leftist, when that was rhetorically weak.

Now this shooter is probably a nutjob but the political motivation will outweigh that, for good reason.

But the church shooter, the guy who killed the DEM pol, and the bus stabber...they were all clearly off the reservation. I argued against arguing any of them were partisan in nature.

They all are. It takes a nut to take lives.

But this thread is about blame shifting and the underlying political motivations that drive nut jobs to kill. Using Boetler as a "muh both sides" argument is gravely dishonest.

I know, and I gave an explanation bout the MN shooter

But I also kept my consistent position about not turning these events into partisan moments (again, before people melt, I'm not referencing the Kirk assassination here).

I argued this for days about the trans church shooter. Posted ample evidence he was nuckign futs since like age 11. We also discussed how he was rejecting (or had rejected already) the trans stuff. But people kept trying to turn it into some partisan event. Just like with the MN pol shooter where they tried to shoe-horn him in as Leftist. Or, even worse, the Charlotte guy (who is CLEARLY insane, who thought he had implants telling him what to do).

Now the Tennessee shooting? Yeah that leads to political discussion even if the shooter was insane, b/c the trans ideology was a direct component of the mass murder.

This shooting with Charlie Kirk? Almost no matter how insane the shooter is/was, this is going to be a partisan-political moment. There is no escaping it as it was so senseless, cold-blooded, and CLEARLY politically motivated.

But the No Kings flyer thing does raise some questions

Only the shooter knows the answer to that one.

Was he going to leave them behind at the crime scenes?

Did he just like the slogan?

Not much of a flyer, as far as driving people to an event.

Why did he need so many?
