It's hilarious watching the right wing embrace cancel culture now that they're in power. To be honest, I think most were waiting for a reason to go full mask off. Trump started blaming the "radical left" before they had even caught someone. I'm still not convinced we have the persons full picture. Some of the terminology used hints at in-group memes from the "groypers" He was also asked on a Fox News show what we need to do to avoid creating radicals on both sides and his response was the following: "I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. They don't want to see crime. Worried about the border. They're saying, We don't want these people coming in. We don't want you burning our shopping centers. We don't want you shooting our people in the middle of the street" "The radicals on the left are the problem," Trump continued, "and they're vicious and they're horrible and they're politically savvy, although they want men and women sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders." If you wanted to unify, this isn't the way. Witch hunts and dog whistles certainly won't help. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-doubles-blaming-radical-left-after-vow-after/story?id=125509965 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-doubles-blaming-radica...

> Some of the terminology used hints at in-group memes from the "groypers" The OwO thing is furry/gamer speak: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/OwO https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/OwO Its use is replete on reddit, and there's even a "Furry OwO" game on Steam. Trying to pass this off as groyper-coded is insulting to one's intelligence and incoherent, being at odds with the anti-fascist rhetoric he also used. (Simultaneously signaling "groyperism" and anti-fascism?) If you really want to argue he's a "groyper," you'd do better to just admit the "OwO" thing is furry- and trans-coded, and consistent with the anti-fascist slogans, but that it's a false flag to be blamed on trans-furry Antifa types meant to inflame moderate Republicans of the sort Kirk represented to drive them further to the right for the sake of accelerationism. Of course, that would be easier if you weren't also trying to paint Kirk as so extremely rightwing that we ought to breathe a collective sigh of relief that he's gone, as if one of Hitler's top henchmen was just taken out by a partisan.

  The anti-fascist stuff is a inside joke that groypers use. Nick Fuentes recently called Trump a "Jewish fascist" on his show. The rest of your comment is pretty bad faith and uninformed. "Painting Kirk as extremely right wing" as if he isn't, lol? Again, I don't think he deserved to die. The quick jump to conclusions by Trump and right wing media is reckless and will lead to more unnecessary killings.

  I didn't celebrate his death and I don't really care if people lose their jobs over doing it. I just find it hilarious that MAGA cried for so long over being "cancelled" and now they're doing it themselves. > Rhetoric on social media must be deescalated. Let’s hope this is the start. Right, because the President of the United States holding water for certain types of radicals and accusing one side without any evidence will be the start to that. It starts at the top.

    You’re right about Trump favoring one sides radicals. But it’s naive to imagine the radicals on the other side do not get the same treatment. As an example, consider all the politicians on the left who have called Trump a Nazi. A vile, ludicrous lie. By repeating the lie, they normalize it so now hoards of easily impressionable kids voice it. ( This was actually the lie that got an Iowa art teacher suspended. ) The whole thing must be dismantled. It’s terrible.

      > But it’s naive to imagine the radicals on the other side do not get the same treatment Please show me a Democratic and/or leftist politician that hasn't disavowed political violence. > As an example, consider all the politicians on the left who have called Trump a Nazi. A vile, ludicrous lie That's just like uh, your opinion, man. Someone holding the view that he's a Nazi certainly isn't that crazy considering the military deployments to protests, election results denial, and attacks on free speech. Either way, I don't see how viewing someone as a Nazi is the same as covering for violent actors on your own side. By the way, Trump himself has called opponents fascist on multiple occasions[0]. 0: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-harris-fascist-jd-vance-b2614984.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...
