I ran away with the idea that it would take a soldier to get that kind of experience. Mossad seems a little dubious because they’re on the same side. Seems like Mamdani or Hasan would get their ire first. So I guess my line of thinking runs dry if I try to ascribe an active soldier carrying out an entity’s will
Like honestly I think reinforcing the “this was a pro” “this was Israel/Ukraine” conspiracy theories is the best way to spare the left a bit of extra pressure. The right wing conspiracy folks are fighting over who did it right now.
Maybe in non-left spaces, I don’t see the harm in discussing it honestly here. If the bullet engravings are genuine (doubt), then it doesn’t matter anyway
Why couldn’t you do the same thing with Hasan? You do some honest-to-god terrorism and you can crack down all the same. You also don’t lose the head of a big mouth piece of yours.
Martyrdom goes both ways maybe? Killing Hasan could galvanize more people into radial politics just like killing Kirk could inspire conservatives targeting liberals? To be clear I don’t personally believe this was an op (yet)
I want to believe it was an op so badly, but I know how easy it is to get sucked into bullshit even when it feels real. Like I came into this conversation with an axe to grind, but I was really hoping to be talked out of it.

Well Mossad because it’s a false flag to crack down on antizionist elements in society. But I gotcha

I misread it as “lose a Big Head mouth piece”
