The kid was born in crackerstan. Non-Republican’s there are about as common as non-whites.

this is demographics, not evidence.

He’s the result of a long-term breeding experiment that investigates what would happen if you concentrated all the most gullible/ignorant people into a single space.

???

Rest of post is a screed about how you don't like Utah. Not evidence.

I have seen no evidence either way this guy was a leftist, or a groyper, or anything. People out there WISH he was something so they can wrap this whole thing up and explain it away, without acknowledging that people with fulfilling lives and hopeful futures don't do things like this.

His whole family are sympathizers for the fascists

So are mine, and here I am, posting on lemmy.ml

Slow your roll. Post evidence or stop muddying the waters.

    I never said it was evidence. You simply took the least relevant portion of a full statement to misrepresent it. The full statement was that their political diversity wasn't any better than their ethnic diversity, which you have agreed is factual demographics.

    Of all the stupid things Missourians have done, us running the Mormons out of the state wasn't one of them.Utah is run by a conglomeration of multiple cults, including the Mormons and Republicans. The Mormons explicitly disassociating and ostracizing anyone who dares question them from their families and friends. Was my phrasing sensationalist and incendiary? Yes. Is anything I just said wrong? No. They actively ostracize anyone intelligent enough to show a critical thing.

    Above all I think the kid is confused, conflicted, and mentally unwell. Which in our current environment is no condemnation of him. I think we all struggle with it. Now, its also quite clear he comes from a heavily right winged background, which I think even you cannot deny.

    Hell, I would say that you personally empathize with the kid mistakenly or not. And only any monster like Kirk would ridicule empathy. That said, you should probably also know better than anyone that it's almost impossible to escape cults. There's been no evidence that this is the case with him.

    Though I'm not sure how posting from Lemme. ML is a good thing though? The greater fediverse, sure. As a rule, I tend not to attack people I see posting from there. Since at one point it was the only game in town, and there are people who still use it. Who don't align with the political suppression and censorship there. But for those that do, Marxist Leninism is an ideology, so destructive and toxic. It only comes in second to fascism here in the United States because of its larger-scale irrelevance.

    You responded to someone pointing out there is no evidence provided for the image in the OP (saying he is a groyper) with more non-evidence. That's why I replied to you. You're not really on-topic in the context of that conversation. I've done that before, tbh.

    I read all of your comment, none of it was relevant tbh. Yes, I did pick out the most outrageous thing you said. It was outrageous after all. I could have picked apart every sentence, but I didn't want to do that, and nobody wants their words dissected like that. Its not nice.

    Your larger opinions on the Utah area do not change what this guy actually believes. You might be right. You might be wrong. All of this is speculation. That's my point, and that's the point of the person you are originally replying to.

    I never said posting from ML was good or bad, just pointing out they are leftist, as am I. I'm not interested in debating the goodness/badness/whatever of Lemmy.ml, I'm just stating facts.

    Anyway, I hope your day is going well.

    You're response to the same comment:

    You ignoring the evidence put forward doesn’t make it not exist. Do better.

    So it's evidence talking to me but not this person? You seem very confused.

    This you?

    The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming.
