These fucking slack jawed brainlets still haven't come to terms with the fact that Kirk's killer was one of their own.
Tyler Robinson was probably a leftist!
Statistically, no.
…statistically?
Yes, statistically.
Thats the weakest argument I have heard today and I spike with a flat earth believer…
I believe you.
Someone who is scientifically illiterate to plead someone else’s argument is far less bad as being so ideologically blinded as to be incapable of accepting that ‘a’ thing was done by your tribe!
Jesus man, if this is a look inside your brain no wonder you're conservative
I once saw a guy on LSD running around the NYC streets in his underpants after a Shpongle concert back in '10. He made more sense than you do.
What a completely ridiculous statement. You don’t actually believe all that do you?
What?
You asked for statistics, and here are the statistics.
And spiking a flat-earther isn’t the flex you think it is. I could probably spike a 2nd grader, but I wouldn’t brag about doing it.
I could not comprehend why anyone would use that word there… Do you think it would be an intelligent thing to say that black people must be behind crime ‘a’ or say this crime, because statistically they commit more crime? Oh, but this nonsense must work in your proposition because its in favor of your rhetoric!
That was not a flex, it was an insult :))
You could have stopped there.
Click links, read links. The information is there for you, if you’d take a moment to learn.
And I am sure that those statistics are right! Comparably why don’t you believe that a black person committed this crime? They are statistically more likely to commit crimes!
Yes, everything is a conspiracy, and everything I don’t like is fake.
No wonder you engage with flerfers – they’re the only people you can best in mental combat.
Its a conspiracy that one of your tribesman did something to disagree with, ok
Welp, lets ignore that bbc article and the exerts from it, its just not good for you
It wasn’t the BBC, lol.
Try getting some sleep. That really helps with focus and concentration.
Statistics don't give any evidence about the ideology of any particular shooting. The statistics say that around 20% are done by people on the left.
That's nowhere near close enough to confidently state Robinson wasn't on the left.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on lemmy, you are apparently fairly recently starting HRT yourself, or considering it, and are concerned about a potential crackdown on transfolk in Hungary.

From which side of the political spectrum do you think that would come from?
The... left, apparently?
Obvious troll is obvious.
Either that, or you bounced off the idea of transitioning so hard that you became either a complete idiot, or basically a fascist.
It can be difficult to tell the difference between those two.
Not impossible I guess, but certainly does make you seem incredibly unstable.
Yea I was told that being contradictory to your groups interest not only makes me a right winger but an American too somehow, lets add troll to that list
The only evidence available to us points us to him being a leftist, regardless of how many folks get butthurt by that fact

I am only talking about you.
How are you doing?
Everything... okay? Hunky dory?
/s?
He was raised Mormon in a full MAGA family, and nearly all photos show him surrounded with rifles.
He may have been confused, and I can buy he went libertarian, but if he was a leftist, I’ll eat my hat on camera.
e: oh no, it wasn’t /s, judging by your other comments. That’s just sad.
You seem to be projecting your ‘scream-cry’ onto me, when all I did was give you the statistics you asked for.
I’ll not hold your hand when you can’t click links and read, and I’ll not entertain your childish soliloquies.
Type another inane dissertation all you like – I didn’t sign up here to be an elementary school teacher.

Leftists who dress as Trump for Hallowe'en:
x--->0
Okay to be fair, I have a realistic Doug Ford (corrupt Conservative Premier of Ontario) mask that I love adding to random halloween costumes. I hate the guy with a passion and am very much on the left but I still find it funny
If it’s one of those realistic latex masks, it does sound terrifying – like how the Captain Kirk mask was used for Mike Meyers in Halloween.
Do you guys dress up as people you look up for to an event where you supposedly scare people into giving you candy?
+2 Proud republican behavior: “Public records reviewed by the BBC suggest Robinson had in the past registered as an unaffiliated, or nonpartisan, voter in Utah. His parents, Matthew Carl Robinson and Amber Denise Robinson, are registered Republicans, according to state records”
+3 Common republican things “Authorities have said the unnamed roommate was a "biological male" who was transitioning from man to woman and was in a romantic relationship with the defendant.”

Yea, your rights he was probably a republican! Well not because of the evidence but because it would kinda sound funny if another right wing monkey were shot by their voters
‘More to the left’ of MAGA is not ‘leftist’, ffs. That whole family is deep MAGA, so more to the left isn’t even necessary centrist. Libertarian, maybe, or still far right, but thinks LGBTQ people might be people.
Are you even paying attention? Do you think trans people, women, and immigrants deserve rights? Answer honestly.
Maybe we should just lie and pretend he was so you people can have something to actually be afraid of.
1 Not an American 2 Not a right winger
Hahahahahaha sure sparky
Hey now, let’s not judge them as American. They might be a member of the German AFD party!
Rightist fake news!
The bbc is now right wing fake news…

To your point #3 just because there is a trans person, doesn't mean they are left wing. See caitlyn jenner
One of the first transpersons I ever met was a loud and proud anarcho-capitalist.
I haven't seen any hard evidence he was a full-on leftist, but I haven't seen any hard evidence he was maga either.
From what I've seen, he was definitely left of his parents, but there's a whole lot of different ideologies to the left of maga.
I think the only way we'll know for sure his ideology is if he says so.
Bot gotta keep the rubes in line.
