his reading list didn’t contain delay deny defend, did it??

we always said those pics were definitely not the shooter, right

i don’t think you’re reading it right

i completely stopped being attracted to him after ten seconds on his twitter

the really interesting thing to me is the handwritten note. does the handwriting match? seems relatively conclusive to test, even if he dies first. also, the fact that it wasn’t the NYPD that arrested him

yeah exactly. copycat for sure, or just framed.

honestly ted was a stupid asshole, he mostly killed academics and he blamed technology for things that could be entirely attributed to capitalism. his legacy is the idea that the only alternative to how we live rn is caveman

part of my reasoning is he didn’t say the manifesto was specifically about the healthcare industry, but “some ill will toward corporate america”. that could mean a million different things, like it could be anti-DEI even. the shooter specifically linked back to a book that was specifically about the healthcare industry.

“we need waitresses so guys can hit on them and later impregnate them”

it doesn’t mean much that the smile looks the same, the snitch called specifically because he thought he looked the same. if anything it makes it less likely, because it was really unlikely for those smile pictures to be of the right guy, he wouldn’t have been walking around wearing the same outfit but slightly different the next day

also he’s posting about investment opportunities…?

i really get the feeling this was going to be a copycat with a different ideology

they never had very much evidence for that, it’s a really rare gun

death to america, death to israel

sniffs the air and starts tracking one

i don’t think assassinations alone will fix anything, but i think any action that would fix anything is far more likely to happen now that the assassination has changed people’s sentiments. i’m not proposing any real solutions, but i feel like any real solution is at least more likely to happen now than it was before.

i think it’s basically a prerequisite right now. now that the propaganda has been so effective, i think any attempt to organize people for real change would be a whole lot easier.

i wasn’t trying to make it about civility, i understand that they all know he deserved to die. what you’re saying is the argument i don’t get though. right now, i’m not serving my community, i’ve never worked at a soup kitchen or anything, i’ve never tried to organize locally beyond my polycule. am i doing a better job than the assassin? it’s not one or the other, it’s not like he took time out of his packed good deeds schedule to plan the assassination. i feel like the fact that there’s a better use for his time is irrelevant, because he probably wouldn’t use that time for whatever better thing you have in mind. aside from that, i’m not completely convinced that what he did was utterly useless. leftists have a really hard time swaying public opinion to any degree, and i don’t think i’ve ever seen more anti capitalist revolutionary sentiment in america than right now, as a direct result of this propaganda.

i feel like ive just seen a lot of people arguing that this is a bad thing and i don’t get where they’re coming from. like i can see it being ineffective but honestly this site seems more against it than anywhere else on the internet.

people on hexbear will really be like “you believe in shooting health insurance CEOs? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, organizing” and then not organize
