The bullets DID NOT have engravings about transgender rights. “‘Notices bulge’ owo whats this?” Has absolutely nothing to do with trans rights. Everything on those bullets, including the “antifascist” messaging is meme lord gamer speak.
We do not yet know if this guy was motivated by left wing or far right ideology, or maybe even some third option.
Governor Cox just confirmed that the alleged shooter in custody was romantically involved with a transwoman.
The battle over whatever ideology shaped this killing doesn’t negate the fact that this was an act of terrorism that should be universally condemned. Two children lost their father and a woman lost her husband.
Correct. Their neighbor says they held hands and kissed, so they weren't just roommates. And Ciao Bella is an Antifa meme, not a gamer meme. It is absurd to continue asserting, as the person you're responding to does, that "we don't know yet" what motivated the assassin. He took the trouble to engrave his bullets; he wanted us to know.
All that is also still highly contested. Turns out the “transwoman” in question appears to be a roommate, not necessarily a lover, and also isn’t necessarily trans. There is so much conflicting information around this roommate. Initial sources stated that Robinson’s father turned him in to police, but then articles about the roommate stated that he turned him in. They cannot both be true.
Yes, it was an act of terrorism. But it DOES matter that so many people are chomping at the bit to shoehorn this into being a left-wing radical act. This promotes division, subsumes truth and reality in favor of preferred narrative, and leads us toward spiraling down the drain.
Why, if truly conservative or right leaning would he assassinate the conservative, right-leaning, Charlie Kirk? His family has confirmed at least one dinner conversation where the killer admitted he hated Kirk. He has Antifa connections and is romantically involved with his trans roommate. Maybe stick to objective facts and stop clutching that gender ideology junk.
This goes to show how damaging and corrosive Postmodernism has done to the modern world. In the absence of truth, there is only power, and the pursuit of power inevitably leads to authoritarian violence. It shouldn't be surprising that according to a study that you are more likely to hold authoritarian views if you hold postmodernists views of the world. It's time to move away from that, and if academia refuses, then the university system needs to be severely punished.
i still think your work benefits from more consideration and less of the moment responsiveness. i disagree with your inference that political extremists on the left are a real growing menace. whatever "leftist" terrorist activity ocurring seems so much less organized and propeled by group think compared to the "far right" armed militias. on balance, i think the greater threat to american democratic republicanism is a christian-nationalist/theocratic fascist group taking over by force and media control, reordering our system. ugh.
This would have been terrific satire in the context of the real world, but your campus and social media brainwashing is complete Ronny. I hope you don’t own and guns or knives.
The talking head class you're a part of are converging on your position in some form or another.
I suspect a solution would be to have more talking heads go to campuses and public spaces to engage in discourse, with the explicit goal of *not* steering towards a particular political end goal, but to normalize civic confrontation.
We all need to be patient. It takes a lot of time to fully understand any crime, and , right now, most of social media is posting wild speculation. I could easily come up with a dozen reasons that the assassin acted - all based loosely on some information out there that may or may not be true. I considered posting a list, but I’m afraid that some idiot would clip it and post it as truth.
What concerns me are those posting freely as they celebrate this action, that they want his family, including his children to suffer, and that we need more of this. These are vile thoughts. Humans have always had such thought, but that expressing them is acceptable is a return to barbarism.
Had no idea the two sides views were so askew. That is a problem indeed. How does one get each side to either take off their glasses or put on ones that will clear up the view?
Re 2023 Petsko study and following several paragraphs:
What follows is another question: does assuming more dehumanizing of one’s self track with actually being more immature (in immature ego defenses that twist reality, such as denial and projection) and does assuming less dehumanizing of one’s self track with actually being more mature (in more mature ego defenses like generosity and tolerance- as parents forgive their children’s strident complaints against them as understandable for their developmental level?)
I do recall there being research that as people age, they tend to become more conservative (on a bell curve of course)…

You illustrate Mr. Henderson's points beautifully.
This would have been terrific satire in the context of the real world, but your campus and social media brainwashing is complete Ronny. I hope you don’t own and guns or knives.
