I think these fascists are trying to make him their "George Floyd". But unlike what the death of George Floyd represented (a wake-up call and a rallying chant against authoritarisnism, bigotry, institutionalized racism, and police brutality), this is a complete farse and a mockery, completely devoid of any meaning. He died for nothing except to give us some hilarious memes to laugh our asses off for no more than a week

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 68 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I strongly disagree.

I'll be laughing for much longer than a week.

I smile when I think of the blood pouring from his neck.

Nazi lives don't matter.

There's no info about the shooter yet but I'm shutting up about Americans not taking action. At least for now.

My fuckwit uncle's response to comments about George Floyd was "well turns out he was an asshole."

So as long as someone's an asshole, it's okay to extra-judicially murder them.

Is your fuckwit uncle internally consistent or a racist?

They're claiming it's their Reichstag fire.... They have somehow achieved a negative grasp of history. As in measured on a scale of 1 through 10, these people have a score of -5

Apparently, it’s this guy.

Family members turned him in, because even his own family doesn’t want to harbour this bigot.

And here’s a quick synopsis:

He’s exactly who you’d think. I, for one, am shocked /s. I guess Charlie wasn’t Nazi enough or something (according to Nick Fuentes in past statements, Charlie was a bit too ‘woke’, but we don’t know this lunatic’s motives yet, so I’m just speculating).

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not for nothing but we don't know if he's conservative or Republican at all. We know his family might be but we don't know he is.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I hoped I was clear that some of this is speculation at this point.

Based on the photos, though….

I get we need to be extra cautious, but some things are a pretty clear pattern. If we find out he was a leftist dude radicalised by the centrism of Lawrence O’Donnell, I’ll actually be shocked.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean the only photos I've seen is a few of him with guns. Which in no way means he has to be a conservative. Lot of leftists are good with guns too.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It’s probably me – having that many photos with guns is weird. I get that’s an American thing, but it’s actually pretty weird. His interest seems like fetishisation to me.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You mean, a white male with a gun fetish actually shot and killed somebody? In the USA?!? Git outta here!

[–] SL3wvmnas@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

Currently, they try to eliminate a possible Groyper connection. That would either push out or entrench Nick Fuentes on a larger political scale.
