Every time we see something like this, I get this sinking feeling like we've just seen the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. But then, we keep discovering that they're right-wing nutjobs, and so the people who are praying for a civil war have to gnash their teeth and pretend like they're not just looking for any reason to go on a killing spree. Nothing would please me more than if it was some personal reason, like a jilted gay lover. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] bigfondue@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago Totally agree. Either way, this will 1000000% be used to fan the flames. If it turns out to be a left wing woke nutjob or something they will obviously cream their pants in glee and just scream something along the lines of "see? The left is so horrible and so violent. Look at what they've done! We need to stop them now before it gets worse!" If it's a right wing idiot they'll just gloss over that and say "look how violent our cities our. There's criminals roaming the streets, we need to bring in the tanks to take our cities back!" permalink fedilink source parent [–] AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago My money is on right wing accelerationist permalink fedilink source parent [–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago (1 child) Supposedly it was an older white dude, and the alt-right has been rumbling about him (apparently he’s not conservative enough) for a while now.
